Walmart Neighborhood Market

This is my go-​to place for grocery items! I usually stop here to pick up my non produce shopping needs and have been for years. They tend to have lower prices than other big name grocery stores without having to shop around. If there is a lower price on an advertised item elsewhere you can get the difference back if you use the Savings Catcher feature on the Walmart app!
They carry more grocery items than the Walmart in the shopping center across the way. They definitely don’t carry as many non food items (cosmetics, lotions, baby needs, etc.) as the location across the street but they still have a pretty decent selection, very rarely do I have to go across the street to get anything. They don’t carry E.L.F brand cosmetics (seriously, why not? even the 7eleven near me does) so I have to go across the street for those. They also recently locked up all of their cosmetics behind glass, so you need to ask for help with them.
Their produce is usually fresh, though there have been times where it was a bit wilted. They usually have the greenest bananas around though! Their meat selection is just as good if not better than most big name grocery stores in the area. They don’t have a meat department counter like most grocery stores. Everything is prepackaged, but they have a great selection! Look for the yellow tags in the meat department and you can get some awesome deals on meat, most of it needs to be used within a few days, but if you freeze for later use you can get great deals!
They have more self checkout registers than they do employee run registers, Which is great for me. One of my biggest pet peeves is having my groceries bagged by someone who just throws everything in a bag without care. Plus the less people I have to deal with the better… Am I right?
I use the pharmacy at this location for all my prescription needs. They are much more friendly and accommodating than the staff over at the Walmart in the shopping center across the street. Plus I can do my shopping and get my prescriptions all at once, instead of making a special trip. I also use the Walmart app to order prescriptions, seriously download it!
One piece of advice is CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATES, there have been times where I’ve purchased bread that is going to expire the next day without noticing. This is probably a vendor issue, since they are responsible for rotating the bread… But I learned my lesson, a few times. Also, the earlier you shop the better!

Came here for groceries early Sunday morning! Was able to find everything I needed on my list.
The store is kept well clean and the employees are always super nice and helpful!
The prices are always reasonable and you can get pretty good deals on meat, they always seem to be marking down.
I wish this location had a butcher counter like other grocery stores and fresh seafood.
They do have a bakery and good fresh cooked rotisserie chicken!
They area can be a little sketchy at times but if you come during the early morning hours and daytime you should be fine.
Parking is really tiny so if you have a big truck like me park further away.

Never thought I would say this about a Wal-​Mart but I actually enjoy stepping foot into this grocery store. It’s really convenient and their prices on produce are competitive as you would expect but it gets even better, you don’t get as much of the weirdos flocking over here as you get at your regular run of the mill Wal-​Mart stores.
I might be a little biased when I say it’s convenient since it’s the closest grocery store within my parents’ house, so whenever I’m home and my mom runs out of something, guess where she sending me? You guessed it ladies and gentlemen, the neighborhood market but I digress.
Other reasons I find this place convenient is that they have plenty of open self check out lanes readily available, parking is a breeze, they do a great job with the overall cleanliness of the store, and well, it’s CHEAP!
Disclaimer: I can’t really vouch for customer service since I’ve never had to deal directly with employees for help. I mean, Wal-​Mart stores are pretty self-​explanatory, there’s no real need to ask an employee for help finding things (unless you’re that type of person).
P. S. I wish this place was open 24/​7, it’s the only thing keeping it from getting a perfect score.

my niece works there… automatic 5 stars. give that girl a raise. customer service is great and grocery selection is above average.

I had to do my shopping a little bit late in the evening and was a bit flustered because I didn’t know where the item I needed was located. I asked this very nice young lady named Laura and she took care of me so quickly and was so very nice. I’ve been to other Wal-Mart’s in the past, and this is the first time I have came across such a pleasant staff member. Keep up the good work and hire more people like this.

I do love this Walmart for my weekly grocery shopping trips. I like that it is 90% groceries and not all the other regular shopping stuff. I am able to buy almost everything I need each trip there. At times I wish they had more self checkouts open. I find they are more efficient than someone else bagging for me. I like that it is located close to a regular Walmart in case I do need to stop by there for more household type items.

I love that there is hardly any people but i hate when there is people in line are rude and inpatient.

I am not a big fan of Walmart superstores, but I am a fan of this grocery store (a Walmart Neighborhood Market). Quick in and out, pretty fresh produce and a reasonable selection. The staff and fellow shoppers are all nice. Overall a good shopping experience without going to a large box store. I recommend that you give this place a try. We pretty much shop here, Trader Joe’s and COSTCO and call it good.

This grocery store is big, clean and well stocked up. They have a great beer selection which is a plus in my book lol. The only issue’s I have with this store is their meat department is not impressive at all. Also some of the employees at the checkout lines move painfully slow. Besides that it’s a great grocery store to shop at.

Ordered a shop online and ship to store item and when I returned it I went to the same store to return it with my receipt. It took them a half an hour to figure out why it wouldn’t ring up and the manager kept getting paged via the walkie-​talkie and said that I had to wait as the customer. The poor sales associates were so flustered because they just wanted to give me a store gift card and I wanted them to refunded to my card since I had my receipt but they couldn’t figure it out. Am not thrilled with customer service at this particular store.

I love this grocery store! Yes, it’s walmart, but it’s so easy to get right in and out here without waiting in line. There is always a self checkout lane open if that’s your thing or there are cashiers too, if that’s the route you choose. There aren’t ever a ton of people here so getting in and out is a cinch! I personally love the hassle fresh shopping and not waiting in line like it seems like you have to do at every vons around. The prices are on par with being lower than the competitors and you can get Kerrygold butter here for 2.98, which is much cheaper than anywhere around as it’s usually 3 – 4 dollars a bar anywhere else. The only caveat to self check out is that you can’t buy alcohol through self checkout since its a California state law. The parking lot is on the small side but there is usually more than enough spots available every time I come!

Did you know that this Wal-​Mart Escondido pharmacy will not sell insulin needles without a prescription; even though the law no longer requires one (see AB 1743)?
Yep, it’s true.
Even worse: their marketing director explained that if I had produced a prescription for needles, they would gladly sell me a whopping 30 syringes per month. That’s about half the quantity I need. See, my dog has diabetes and requires two insulin shots per day (60 needles per month). Most dogs require two shots per day. So, per their generous needle policy I’d be forced to re-​use needles to make them last the entire month. I don’t think so. My dog’s health is too important for such a risk.
Consequence: I could not get insulin needles for my diabetic dog. Learned this when I was low on needles and decided to stop by my local Wal-​Mart. Pharmacist refused to sell me syringes, insisting I produce a prescription. Yet my veterinarian explained that I did not need a prescription (see AB 1743). Fortunately there are other pharmacies that were more than happy to sell me the needles I needed in the quantity I required-​without any hassle.
I did a little digging: the prescription requirement for needles means that the Wal-​Mart Escondido pharmacy won’t allow drug users access to clean needles-​even though the law allows them to do so (see AB 1743). A source of clean needles means reduced risk of transmitting deadly diseases like HIV or Hepatitis C.
I think this says something about this Wal-​Mart: they aren’t really concerned about the health of their customers-​or their customer’s pets. Clearly not this Escondido Wal-Mart’s finest hour here.

I was happy to hear that this location opened and it took me a while to get here, but I’m happy I did. The employees have all been very helpful and friendly which I really appreciate it. They price match most flyers within reason, so if you are a bargain shopper, this helps.
They have a good selection of most of the stuff I like, so that works for me. The lack of crowds really makes me happy as they do have a pretty small parking lot layout. I have found some organic foods as well as almond milk, which is a plus as well.
For a good deal on groceries, and less stress, this is the place.

I’m not a huge fan of this (or any) Walmart, but they have White Cloud Toilet Paper so I’m forced to come here. That being said, when I go shopping at this location, there is always someone in the door selling something right inside the door in the building. Additionally, I feel like their produce is less than quality.
Getting any help if you are trying to find something is impossible. Look around at other local grocery stores if I were you, you’ll thank me.

If I can I give this crapy ass Walmart no stars they suck as he’ll they didn’t help that much all they do is talk to the coworkers and they are pice of shit

This store is brand new and fully stocked! Almost no line to check out! I love it!

So many business’ have been of this building, but I have a feeling Walmart Neighborhood Market is its forever home.
It’s HUGE, I have a feeling it’s bigger than the Walmart around the corner. It really is a great grocery store. Although it would have been better with a full bakery and full meat department. Their pricing is comparable to the lower price stores.
They would get 5 stars if this was solely based on their products, however it is not. Sadly customer service comes in play.
The first few times I let their poor customer service slide. They are a new store, with that comes many people that are under trained, stressed, some with first jobs. There’s really no excuse now. There has been many, may times when I have walked past several employees, including managers and I don’t get acknowledged. Not a hello, not a welcome, not a can I help you.
The check out process is really hit or miss, so if there’s a self check out available take advantage of that instead.
So, although they need to work on customer service I will return. They have a few smiling faces that sometimes make all the difference. Sometimes.

I have gone to this store many times. Every time I have been there the employee’s have been the most helpful, courteous and friendly. I am so grateful to this staff. They treat me like I am a friend. I am in awe! Thank you to the wonderfully awesome employees!

Grocery only store.
This «Market» version of Walmart was split off from the full Warmart across the street because of non-​complete rules.
The prices are pretty good across the board. Selection was also more than adequate, even for those people that like to chose between 20 brands of bottled salsa. This neighborhood Walmart doesn’t have much of an organic footprint, but this store and the clientele are probably looking for cheap rather than healthy.
Positives
— Less crowded than a super Walmart.
— Pretty diverse selection of produce. (Though a lot of it was bagged produce).
— They have a bin of $ 5 crappy DVDs, just like the full Walmart stores.
Negatives
— Lacking freshly baked breads.
— Deli was very small.
Best Find
A full line of Watkins extracts.
Unique Find
— Pretzel covered Pickle chips (Frozen).

Five stars. One word. GLORIOUS! The produce department is amazing. Organics. Non-​organics. Good prices. It is absolutely the most beautiful Walmart imaginable. It’s everything I wanted. Oh and the carts glide like a dream! Take one for a test drive. The associates all seem happy and helpful. I really cannot think of one negative thing to say or even one suggestion for improvement. My only disappointment is I don’t have a bigger freezer at home so I could stock up more. OH AND CHECK THIS OUT. Important note to vegetarians (pescatarians actually) that are on Weight Watchers. They had a Smart Ones I’ve never seen before. It was Fish & Chips. BOMB! Previously the Walmart on College & 78 was the best. This one blows it away.
