Albertsons

This Albertsons is always very clean, with a decent selection of food at good prices. I especially love the deli and the buy one get two free steak sale. I feel that I have saved a lot of money at this store. The staff are friendly and kind. Really like this store.

Went to Albertsons Pharmacy last evening. Waited at the counter for a while. When the pharmacist disappeared I walked away in frustration only to see her in the open doorway locked in embrace with a fella. Thought it was high school again.

I interviewed a lot of florists on Bainbridge Island and Poulsbo for my wedding. I found Albertsons to be the most affordable and by far exceeded my expectations. I had Stacy from Albertsons do the flowers for my wedding, they were just stunning and so romantic. I can’t say enough good things about working with her and how accommodating she was. We even forgot to pick something from floral up and she hand delivered it during my wedding day to the venue. She was also very knowledgeable with what was in season and different options. I highly recommend working with her.

Overall I like this particular Albertsons. I’ve shopped at the one in Poulsbo and its always been pretty lackluster because the staff is unfriendly and their store is always out of something. The Albertsons in Kingston has very friendly staff who know where everything is and is always willing to take you to where the item is rather than point toward and aisle and tell you it should be down there. My one major issue is their produce. First off the selection is minimal at best and it is ALWAYS under ripe or too ripe. Its so frustrating to have to dig through every single piece of produce to find something that you can use in maybe a week. I get my basic necessities here but when I am shopping for produce or looking for something unique, I head to Central Market.

At the time they were remodeling so things were a little disheveled. Not a big deal. Not a great selection of fake meats or vegetarian stuff. Good thing I eat meat or I’d be a little screwed. There was a very tiny section for the Gluten free. If you have any of those special diets, I’d suggest bringing your own food.
But they have the normal staples of food. Some items seemed seemed a bit overpriced but what can you say when there are hardly anything for miles around.

The Kingston Albertson’s, at George’s Corner where I do the majority of my grocery shopping. Not because I’m particularly in love with Albertson’s, but it’s just nearest my house. The store is newer, and recently they’ve cut the amount of lights they use inside by half, so it’s not nearly as bright as it used to be, which is a good thing in my opinion.
They have an in-​store Starbucks coffee bar (not a «Starbucks» but they close enough if that’s your thing.) They quit renting movies, but offer the Red-​Box DVD thing and there is a video store in the same shopping center.
This location features a small but adequate bakery, deli, meat counter and fresh produce. The Sav-​On pharmacy within Albertsons is priced competitively and until Rite Aid offered the only pharmacy service in Kingston. Not a lot of turnover in this store, so it’s easy to get to know the employees.
The cashiers are experienced and efficient, and the baggers pay attention and know how to properly bag groceries, both of which make for a pleasant shopping experience.
There is also an Albertson’s Mini-​mart gas station in the parking lot if you just can’t do the whole grocery shopping thing.
