Healthy Discounts

I’ve been coming here for four years and was spending about $ 450 a month here all last year– the service USED to be great thanks to Sara and Terrence. I was hospitalized for four months this year and since I’ve just got out, I called to see if they had something I regularly purchase. A new lady answered, and, quite rudely told me she couldn’t give out prices over the phone (which they always did) and couldn’t hold the item for me at the front (which they also always did). I wanted to ask about 8 more supplements but since she was so rude, I hung up. I entered the store to buy one item and the place looked like a disaster, and the new employee (with a big tattoo that says Chris on her arm) gave me an attitude about how the rules have changed. Clearly, so had the friendliness and quality of service. I felt so bad for the way she was talking to another customer, too. She just kept saying, ‘No, we dont,’ and not every trying to help her. Congratulations, Healthy Discounts. I’ll take my $ 450 a month elsewhere from now on. That woman is poison to an otherwise great place and is obviously very miserable.

Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because it’s not a discount store. Prices are normal, sure you can get online cheaper but they DO NOT overprice. Im surprised people are writing that. I’ve been in several times and customer service is always excellent. I always ask questions and they always answer and help me find the product I need.

The store it’s nice and clean but far from discounts! For example I purchase a twin lab mens altro for usually 19.00 anywhere else, here there are $ 25 and claims 30.95 is the retail value. I’ve been buying those vitamins for years and have never paid over $ 22 for them with tax, the eBay price is $ 20 however, the service is good, people seem to be nice but if you have lots of things to purchase, things quickly add up and not worth it. I came here because of my vitamin store ran out of what I needed. I only come back if I can’t get what I need somewhere else.

Usually go to Vitamin Shoppe but I found this place closer to home. Looks like they have a nice selection of supplements and the two ladies I spoke to were super friendly and helpful. Prices seemed OK. Not overpriced but not cheap either.

The store closes at 6pm, not at 7pm, like it says here on Unilocal,please change your hours, and don’t confuse people.
Customer service must get an upgrade, its also a bit dusty in the store, if you sell meds please keep the store clean.

AWFUL customer service! I stopped by today and they were closed at 10:00am. I called several times till 10:20am and nobody would answer the phone. Drove by and had a REALLY hard time finding a parking space. I have no idea WHY this place is called «healthy discounts» I saw no advantage buying here, I DECIDED TO KEEPING AT AMAZON WHERE I GET MUCH BETTER DEALS.

This place is great!!! Ive been coming here for years. Everyone is super nice and helpful. I moved to hollywood but will always come back for the great deals and helpful smiles.

This store has good prices, a large selection and the people who work there are very helpful.
All of the negative reviews regarding high pricing are overblown. Of course you can find examples of cheaper prices on-​line. Overall the store prices are very competitive and you will save money shopping here IF you have a discerning eye.

Today I bought the first and the last bottle of pills in this store!
Everything in mess and the store is disorganized and even kind of dirty. The cashier was rude and his appearance was shabby! Some of the products are really overpriced and you can find their vitamins online without discount but with lower price.

This is my neighborhood vitamin/​supplement store, so of course I want to give them my business and support. However, every time I go in to make a purchase they are out of a product I previously purchased there.
On occasion I have called ahead to be sure they have my product on the shelf. They said they did and would put three bottles behind the cabinet until I arrived the next day to make the purchase. I arrived only to find the product wasn’t on the shelf but still in their delivery boxes that hadn’t been inventoried or put on the shelf. I waited 25 min in order for them to go through the inventory to find them.
In the past I have had them place an order for a product they were out of. I continued to call for three weeks to see if the order had arrived only to find out the order was never actually made.
Although the staff is nice they are less than efficient. They are are answering phones, stopping to help other customers or are following up on back office work at the same time they are helping me. So frustrating! The management needs to be more organized and shelves need to be stocked in a more timely way. The staff needs to be more focused when helping a customer. The whole place is just an organizational mess.
Every time I go into the store I walk out so frustrated that I needed to write this before I even left the parking spot outside the store.
I hope they can pull it together. I want to support my neighborhood stores.

Zero stars if only Unilocal would allow it. Dirty. Disorganized. Terrible customer service. Never again! I ended up paying 20% markup because the cashier could not ring up 5 items without error. She claimed she kept messing up because she was rushing. I’ve never seen anyone «rush» so slowly in my life. She was downright rude to other customers and to her co-​worker right in front of me. I don’t understand how this place is in business.

i love this place. I can get everything here that I cant get at Whole Foods or Trader Joes. The staff is friendly and vitamin/​health food smart and good for recommending stuff (Mung Bean Fetticini noodles rock!). Cant wait for juice bar to open. I live in another town and drive to Sherman Oaks just to shop at this store. They will order your item if they dont have it in stock. Parking is tough because its in a busy mall type location but there are 2 reserved spots for this store in front. 5 stars!

I have to be honest about how I feel about this place. The main store associates, Terrence, Sara, and Marcus make this place!!! They’re resourceful, genuine, and go out of their way to help each customer.
Unfortunately, I had to change my rating because the store owner takes full advantage of his employees… and not in a good way.
Up until about three months ago, I was spending half of my paycheck here each week. Then I decided to go on a budget and I realized how much of a ripoff this place *usually* is.
The owner uses a sales tactic in which the items have a sticker price that is then marked down by 30% at the register… so you think you’re getting a great deal.
Most of the time, it’s a few cents cheaper than Whole Foods, BUT whole foods has way better sales and they take more coupons than anywhere else.
The great thing about this place is that you can special order an item from their catalogue.
On the topic of vitamins: You should seriously do some online research and you can certainly find a cheaper price than in the store.

Purchased a joint supplement. When i got home I looked up the supplement on amazon for user reviews. Great reviews, but OMG I had been ripped off. Healthy Discounts, I think not!!! The supplement I purchased was TWICE as much and that was with their 15% off discount.

Price GOUGING! The price for my multivitamin everywhere else is about $ 25 on average. At Healthy Discounts it was $ 42.00! Really? Not just that, EVERYTHING I normally buy elsewhere was at least $ 10 higher at Healthy Discounts!
Never again! I wouldn’t go back to Healthy Discounts even if it was a zombie apocalypse and they were the only store left. This is just a rip off store taking advantage of the upwardly mobile but clearly not savvy shoppers living in Sherman Oaks. And how appalling to have the word «discount» in your name, yet price the same exact product much higher than even Vitamin Shoppe and GNC. When you have the word «discount» in your name, but price identical products way higher than even Vitamin Shoppe and GNC then that’s a real problem! And let’s not even get into how they follow you around the store trying to get you to buy more stuff.
Here’s my multivitamin Country Life 32 ounce liquid Multi at Healthy Discounts for $ 42 and everywhere else for between $ 24 and $ 29!

This is a great little place for supplements and «health-​conscious processed foods». I know that sounds funny, but there are some processed foods that are a little better than others! Last time I checked, they had some gluten-​free vegan pies that are delicious. These days I mostly only come here for medicinal mushroom complexes.

Healthy Discounts has everything for a health conscious lifestyle. From vitamins & supplements to foods, cooking oils and spices. It’s kind of like a GNC and Trader Joe’s rolled in to one (minus the liquor). The staff is very helpful and I always find what I’m looking for. If they don’t have what you want, they will get it for you. Schweb really knows his stuff too.

I always went there… and the staff were always helpful, then this big man with yellow hair yelled at me? and I was scared to go back… so I started using Swansons online… which is really discount… sorry Healthy Discounts… that guy is crazy…

I am not a vegan, just happened to live around the corner. My personal trainer has recommended this store among the others. The working hours 10 – 6 pm… NOT convenient so I had to make it on Saturday. The sales person/​manager recommended me the item that not what I needed (no big deal, it happens) but when I came back next week to return it I found they can only give me a store credit (?!) which forced me to buy more things that overpriced and very limited in selection compared to other stores.
Of course, I will not buy anything from them again .

There used to be many reasons to visit this shoppe (like how I spelled that?) but now there are only a few. Most health food stores have a better selection but this store, on a few items, is the cheapest source in town. Used to be that ALL items were cheaper here, but now, again, they’re only cheaper on SOME items. So, once in a while, if I’m near there, I stop by.
This store is mainly a supplement shop. They devote about half the store to vitamins, herbs and workout powders. (Guess they realized this is where the real dough can be made.) They are one of the few health food stores in town that carry these really cool fake meat products, Vegetarian Plus, from Taiwan. Vegetarian Plus products are ready to eat fake meat dishes kinda like the stuff you’d find in a Chinese or Thai restaurant. Anyway, this is one of the few places in town you’ll find those products and they ROCK.
They sell KAL (the best tasting) stevia powder for $ 5-​$ 10 less than at Whole Foods (depending on the size you buy). They’re also the only place I know of, at all, that carries Primal Strips. There is no better faux meat product than Primal Strips (divine tasting veggie jerky that’s extremely high in protein and low in calories) and as far as I know, you can’t get it anywhere else in town.
Service is kindly but extremely slow — like a 70’s health food store.
