Everyday Deals Extreme

It’s always an adventure shopping here and the bargains can be amazing! Don’t come wanting a specific item– because that’s not how it works. They receive random grocery items-​which they may or may not ever have again. It’s fun to try new things without busting the budget and every trip here is a new experience. Produce is so reasonable here people can actually afford to eat healthy regardless of the season. Be brave –close dated or outdated food is good well beyond the best by date.

I simply LOVE these stores! Let me tell you why:
Pros
–I can feed a lot of people for very little money
–there are new items daily
–prices CAN be up to 75% off retail
–sometimes I can get produce & meat as well as grocery shelf stable items
–Organic/​Gluten free items
–Outdated items don’t bother me. They have always been safe & rarely have I had to throw anything out. Got rancid popcorn & crackers a couple times but I go here multiple times a week. So I’d say that’s pretty good
–Owners & staff are really great!
Cons:
–inventory in inconsistent &
Sometimes so low it feels like a wasted trip.
–larger items like #10 cans are more often than not MARKED UP & cost more than Costco or Cash and Carry
–know your prices because frozen items are sometimes MARKED UP as well.

I agree with what all the other reviews said: awesome, sketchy, great finds, cheap.
However, the people who work here really don’t have a sense of how to be professional. I understand they are probably underpaid and badly treated by their customers and their boss who always seems to be there and yelling at them. One time my cashier was so sick that she was almost falling over and the boss was right there, making her work. Is that really the person you want handling your food?
Today I had a cart that would not turn easily so I parked it discreetly away from the line of traffic and went around the store getting things and putting them in my cart. As I was grabbing my oatmeal bars, I heard screaming in the store. I mean loud screaming. I couldn’t understand it but when I got back to my cart my food was there but my bags were gone. Someone took my bags! Oh yeah, did I mention that if you don’t have a bag you are out of luck? I took my cart up to the cashier and a clerk came up to me and started yelling at me for leaving my food unattended. She said that she screamed for me to come get my cart but that I never came so she took my bags. She was mad that I had refrigerated items that would go bad.
I had left my cart for only a few minutes and I told her it was really hard to push and it wouldn’t go around corners very well. I felt like a child that she was scolding. Really lady, this is not a way to treat customers.
I always feel like when I shop at cheap places I’m getting a discount for being mistreated.
When I worked in retail one of our training missions was to go around to posh retail shops and observe customer service. Even though I worked at a discount place, we could still offer good service. I would encourage this owner to do the same. People don’t like to be scolded when they shop.

This place is pretty awesome. They stock a ton of food that I assume is the left-​overs from bigger chain grocery stores in the area. This means that there are often pallets of a certain product that have been heavily discounted. But, you also have to consider that there is a reason why it all ends up here… Whether that reason comes in the form of expiration or beautification — that is a product is at or beyond its expiration, or it’s lacking the good condition to stay on the bigger chain’s shelves (i.e. dents/​tears).
Most of what I find is anywhere from 3/​$ 1 ($ 0.39 each) to 2.79. I don’t think I’ve seen a whole lot (at least in the grocery section) that reaches past that upper price. This place is also a utopia for snack food. I’ve found some good stuff in the produce/​dairy section (like a dozen organic eggs for two bucks, what?!) but it’s definitely overshadowed by the aisles upon aisles of snack foods/​non-​perishables. I haven’t attempted to try any of the meats, but they’ve got those too if you’re in the market. There is also a pretty large section for household goods (cleaners, aspirin, etc.), and super cheap (in price at least) wine!
If you don’t mind a little bit of traffic in the store — it can get pretty busy — and don’t mind eating food that’s at or a little past the «best by» date, then this store is definitely worth checking out.

This place is CHEAP… and just a bit sketchy. I have found some wonderful gems here: $ 1 boxes of quality tea, variety of Tillamook ice cream (always odd, but yummy flavors) also for $ 1. If you’re into flavored coffee creamer they often have the out of season varieties for a buck. Other random stuff: canned coconut water, lots of mixed bag snack foods or gum. Be prepared for an adventure, as the people watching is priceless and you may have to dig for things to find what you really want. Remember to check expiration dates, some things are fine and others are way past the date. Some visits I load up a bag or 2, others I am grasping at the idea of why some people spend so much time here.
