Big Saver Foods

Great beer selection and easy parking. I like the location always easy getting in n out fast

Honestly, I’m not very impressed with Big Saver. The girls that work at the bakery are nasty they don’t wash their hands after they touch the money. One of the girls was scratching her arms while she was packing the bread on the plastic boxes.

I had no idea this grocery was in this neighborhood. It’s not facing the street. It’s only visible if you’re driving east on Huntington. Usually I go to the one on Main across from Target. That grocery is a lot smaller and doesn’t have a bakery.
This store had a remodeling and reopening I believe. It looks great! Bright, clean, organized, wide aisles, lots of sales.
I picked up a flan 1.99. It wasn’t too sweet. Tasted like an omelette to be honest with you. Not sweet enough for my tastes. The caramel topping was an afterthought. I did not see any tres leche slices in the cake area. A little disappointed about that.
Went straight to the meat dept. They have marinated and fresh meats. They have white meat marinated chicken breast. They have marinated chuck and marinated flank. The flank was twice as pricey as the other meats. They have marinated hen parts, not a whole marinated hen so I bought two halves. Good enough. They have marinated whole pork chop which looked fantastic and was on sale for 1.99/lb. I can’t wait to try it. They have housemade chorizo but I didn’t pick that up. Next time.
If you’re in a hurry there’s fresh, hot rotisserie chicken 5.99. I like how they have tortillas right there so you can grab what you need on the stop and go.
Ice cream aisle was sparse. I tried a mango with chamoy cup for 4.99. Not worth it. Just go to a local ice cream shop.
Sodas with real sugar in them.check. 1.19 a bottle. Picked up Jarritos, Fanta and Cokes.
Fresh produce was well stocked but not as large as most super markets. I found pink horchata made with corn syrup instead of high fructose corn syrup. It had dairy in it tho. 1.19 ea.
Key limes .99 for 2lbs special. Hello key lime pie! Grabbed a bag. Nopales with the pricklies chopped off, yes please. 2.99 for a bag. I’m set for dinner!
After 5 there’s a great taco truck (El Ranchito) off Huntington around the corner. Great tacos.
If you go in thru the parking lot there’s more space in the back. Off street parking is free and plentiful. Convenient location, good sales, I’lll be back.
Also shout out to the security guard in the front who helped me pull out a cart. Then while I was checking out, my kid threw a tantrum and tossed candy out the cart. He walked out of his way to pick it up. Nice service here.

Loading up on beer and liquor for the concert tonite. Gonna go see War, Tierra and Malo at the Greek.

Great meat department, bakery and excellent craft beer selection at great prices! Must visit!

Honestly, I’m not very impressed with Big Saver. I use to go to the one on Figueroa and Ave 21 and it always smelled like something had died in there. I only go there when they have sales on meats. Other than that, I don’t shop there. Food is over priced, produce is always rotten. Food 4 Less on Fig and 52 is so much better.

This place is small but it has everything you need for a quick dinner fix. My husband and I love their marinated boneless chicken leg meat for the grilling. We also come to send money to my in-​laws and the gentle man that helps us is great!

This is my go to neighborhood store when Im looking for good deals on produce. For a fraction of what Ralph’s is charging I can load up on fruit, veggies, chiles, spices, queso fresco, queso cotija, crema, meat, poultry, etc.
I tend to stick to the outer perimeter of the store. Where the staples are. That’s where the deals are at.

I love lil Mexican-​oriented supermarkets because they greatly remind me of my childhood. Before you even walk through the doors, you have pillars surrounding the perimeter of the store so that you can’t even take the shopping carts out! Haha, I love it! They make good use of the area and my mom often finds good deals on their produce here (I can’t say the same about their aisle items though). You also get to stare at their pinatas and random toys (and Hello Kitty replicas!). I always love shopping at foreign supermarkets because it’s a fresh breath of culture and it’s truly identified with what Los Angeles is all about.
