Food Outlet

Worth checking out if you are planning a large gathering or have to supply a food to a large number of people, and you don’t have a membership to one of those warehouse clubs. It’s not a place you’d go to buy groceries or something.
Good if you:
— Need to cook or supply food for a serious crowd or picnic. They carry giant cans of beans, ketchup, salsa, large soup mixes, salad dressings. (They had some items marked as being «out-​of-​date» but they were not what I would consider perishable foods.) They also have a few coolers of frozen foods like hot dogs and chicken wings, and cold foods like cheese.
— Are planning a large party. They have big cans of nacho cheese and big packages of frozen appetizers. They also have a lot of plastic ware and plates, although selection is limited and you might have to buy a lot.
— Like hot sauce. For some reason they have a large selection of those funny labeled hot sauces.
Other random things they carry: A few «thirty-​one» items. Candy bars. Dessert sauces.
They took Debit, EBT, Mastercard, Visa.

At first the place seems a bit sparse, but then when you start really looking at all the stuff… you realize that there’s tons of stuff. They have lots of frozen meat things and a big crazy dairy case. Lot’s of #10 cans of stuff — I bought large cans of pineapple, mandarin oranges, vegetables, etc… all from around $ 3 to $ 7 a can. I’m not sure their prices were better-​than-​average but I looked online and they do seem to compare to Costco and other warehouses and since I don’t have a membership to Sams or Costco and those places are too far away from me anyway, I really appreciated the stuff they have. They have huge bags of Macaroni and cheese SAUCE mix which I think is pretty awesome. Not EVERYTHING is sold in giant-​sized-​form, but much of it is and that makes it much cheaper than buying stuff in the smaller cans at Shop N Save or even Aldi’s. If you need party stuff like big bags of meatballs and jalopeno poppers and hot dogs… this is probably a good place to go. THe workers were REALLY nice there too and there’s tons of parking and it’s easy to get to. I got a giant can of marshmallow sauce… I just want to open it and eat it like soup… and really… where ELSE around here am I gonna find so much marshmallow sauce?

I was curious as I saw a sign out saying Food Outlet open so I zipped the car around and decided to see what this place was all about. It is pretty barren and has what appears to be food from a place that would deliver to restaurants and institutional places. Huge bags of Knorr Soup Mixes, Large packages of various bar type eats like meatballs, battered fishes, big cans of sauces and syrups and dressings. Some cleaning products that a restaurant would use to clean grills and sanitize with. Very Large bags of dry noodles… All this is fine and dandy but the prices where nothing to write home about. Frankly i’m pretty sure you could do better at a warehouse store like Sams or Costco.
