Grocery Outlet

Always a great selection of discounted foods. Nice organic section. Always check the expiration dates though, that is the reason for some of the discounts :)

I spend allot of time working and traveling. During these working hours I spend hours everyday inside grocery stores, super centers and chain stores.
Grocery Outlet is an interesting concept. California is a tough market, remember Haggen?, Freah and Easy, numerous Walmart Locations that closed?.
Anyway, this chain is like the rest. But, the selection is very limited and the prices? Exactly the same as Walmart.
In the end, Walmart has the ultimate buying power, period. They can sell for less, lose money, and still stay in business.
Once Aldi arrives, Walmart expands, it may be tough for the little guys like Grocery Outlet.

A true discount grocery place without having to rummage through dented cans or worse yet sifting through cans with missing labels. Great deals can be found here, but you have to check the expiration dates of every item you select. Remember with lowered prices comes the chance of getting stuck with food past the expiration date.

I love Grocery Outlet! Don’t go if you are looking for particular products because you won’t find them. However what they usually do have is awesome. A piece of advice is if you find something you really like, stock up on it (after checking the expiration date) because they might not have it the next day. When they were selling «Rice Krispy Treat Cereal» I bought at least 4 boxes every time I went in (until they ran out.)
Take your time and enjoy «frugal» deals. You might encounter some crazy people but let them do their own thing and enjoy the cheap deals. I highly recommend checking out their booze section, Grocery Outlet is my number one place to buy cheap wine.
Cashiers Deonne (spelling name wrong) and Justin are awesome! Everyone who works there makes it a pleasure to come in… especially when the check out lines aren’t crazy long.

It has it’s perks with prices. Most of the staff is pretty friendly. I think it’s the customers who can get on your nerves but that’s what you get with such low prices.

Grocery outlet had really great deals, from cheese, spices, and dairy. I got creamer for 1.49 and cereal there is less then 3 bucks. If you need groceries and are going to use it right away, I would recommend going there.

I love this place and hope that it comes into my neighborhood when Fresh a& Easy leaves! The prices are incredible; I have to be careful not to over shop when I’m here because everything is so incredibly priced.
AND, they have everything here! I bought my living room rugs here (6′ X 8′), and I’ve picked up toiletries, plants, great wine…
As I said, I hope they replace F&E in Mira Mesa!

I love this place !!! I go here at least once a week for anything I need to stock up on from blankets, plants, food they have it all! Not to mention wine is very very reasonably priced!
BUT! Every time I go, this one woman working the check out stand is so unhappy with her job! She won’t say a single word, not even a hello nor tell me the total! She just stares at me like I’m the one that shouldn’t be there. EVERYTIME! It makes me leave very irritated because I’m excited about all of my bargain shopping then you have to deal with Debbie downer on the way out!
I’ll still shop here no doubt, but management should pay a little more attention to the customer service being given!

I happened to be in the area so I decided to check out Grocery Outlet. The prices are pretty low but the selection can be limited. For example they didn’t have purple onion in the produce section. The ceral isle had limited choices. I needed to buy mayonnaise but the expiration date was 20 days away. Even though the price was very reasonable there was no way I would finish all that mayo before the expiration date. I think this store has a decent selection but you just can’t go in looking for a specific item or brand. I wouldn’t go out of my way to shop here but if I’m in the area and not looking for any specific items I would shop here again.

A few hints for «Grossout» newbies:
— Check expiration dates and freshness
— Check shelf pricing. Often doesn’t match the product. That’s just a keeping up with SKUs issue
— GO’s don’t replace normal grocery stores. If you are a brand shopper, this is not your joint.

Lots of stuff in this store. But never exactly what you are looking for. As long as you go in with an open mind and a lot of time you can save more than you spend and have all the things you like to eat and drink. Parking lot is always packed but I always seem to find a spot. People that work there are all cool and fast at the register. It helps them out a lot if you bag your own stuff. Especially when you have a cart as full as mine. I walk out of here weekly with $ 200 worth of groceries for only $ 100. Love this place.

There are few things I love as much as inexpensive groceries, which may make me a bit of a weirdo, but whatever.
This Grocery Outlet (or «GO») is much better than the one I used to frequent in Oregon. You don’t have to purchase in bulk, and they have a great variety. I find their produce and meat to be of high quality, and they always have staples that you need. Most of their products are brands you’d recognize, not weird off-​brand items. I find this allows me to easily mentally check the prices from other retailers. For example, they have Chobani yogurts for $ 0.59. That’s at least $ 0.40 less than the best prices I’ve seen elsewhere.
While they may not have absolutely everything all of the time (today, for instance, they had no canned black beans), they have most things most of the time, and I usually save about 20% on my grocery bill. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and I am always pleased with the total at the checkout line.

I am writing this review to praise the customer service at this location. Grocery shopping isn’t rocket science for me, but I walked into there unhappy and left happy. I want to thank Dana, one of the cashiers, for her helpfulness and kindness. She not only helped me save money that I was not aware of, but also took part in a selfless good deed on my behalf. I am a homeless, employed, college student and it meant the world to me.

If your looking for a deal when it comes to grocery shopping this is your place. The prices are super cheap. However, make sure you check the packaging and expiration dates! I have bought multiple items without looking that have been very, very close to the expiration date and I have bought a damaged tub of ice cream. The bottom was ripped open but I didn’t notice because the ice was frozen to it and made it look closed. Kinda gross. The fridge and freezer section is where its at here! So many good deals! The staff here is decently young and for the most part nice but not overly friendly. They give military a discount card for $ 3 off a $ 35 purchase. It’s not a lot but the bigger name grocery stores don’t do that and savings is savings so kudos!

This place is amazing. I thought it would be all store brand items, but they have a tonnnn of name brand products and for sooo cheap. They don’t have everything you need on a typical grocery shopping trip, but you can get some serious every day goods for dirt cheap. Had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I first went.
You know at the bottom of your receipt that will say like, «You saved $ 1.50 using your X card!»?? Well with NO special savings card, your receipt at Grocery Outlet will say, «You saved $ 56!» No joke! Believe it!

This location is the worst in San Diego. Cashier attitude lacks any decency. Product selection is miserable and pricing is wrong on shelved items. One and only time I shop here.

I have no idea how this place has 4.5 stars.
There are so many issues with this place. I don’t even know where to begin.
1. Lack of selection. I could barely find anything that I wanted and specifically looked for.
2. Their customer service is horrid. None of the employee’s there are kind or helpful. Why are you working a customer service job, if you’re not going to do your job? One of the employee’s there was discriminating giant my mom and I because we were Caucasian. I kid you not. We were headed to check out and the lady was like «I’ll take you over here.» Not in a kind, happy, or polite voice. She said nothing to us, except for when she read the total. Another customer walked in, and the lady obviously knew here. She saw her and was like «Oh hey girl! How are you doing?» She completely happy and polite to the other customer, who was the same race as her. Quite strange and rude.
3. Their produce and food is close to outdated. That’s why things here are so cheap. We bought some food that was disgusting and had to throw out. Total waste of money.
4. The other customers here are rude. I suppose that’s anywhere you go, but it’s the strangest environment here.
Don’t waste your time and money here.

Grocery outlet. Bargain market!
I LOVE this place! I will fully admit to being somewhat of a food snob — I like Trader Joes, Whole Food, etc. and try to have as much of my diet be as natural as possible. I thought I would be disappointed but boy was I wrong! They have a HUGE selection of organic and «natural» foods and toiletries (Amys, Annies, Toms) Better yet, they are all less than 2 dollars. ALWAYS. The other day I got two large boxes of Annie’s graham bunnies for $ 1.50. They also have tons of vegan, gluten free, etc options…
It’s fun that they have those options as well as the larger brands (Cheetos, DiGiorno etc.). There are a lot of smaller but very high quality brands that must be just getting started — for example an amazing frozen yogurt that is actually just that, nothing extra or funny added.
Their produce is averagely priced and nothing special, but it works in a pinch. The only other downfall is that the stock is constantly revolving, so stock up if you find something you really love because you don’t know when/​if it will be back. For the most part I’ve noticed that it does come back, though.
Lastly, wine is really cheap and the staff is friendly. I also got a $ 3 off $ 30 coupon the other time I went.

I love this place! You never know what you may find when you walk in the door. The employees are all friendly, it’s clean, and there are amazing deals down every aisle. Word of advice, if they have something you love, buy it all. You never know when they might have it again! Don’t worry, you’re saving a ton here!
I go in at least once a week. I’ve found some awesome deals on gluten free stuff. Anyone who buys gf foods knows how expensive they are. They have brand name products with huge discounts.
Check them out if you haven’t already.

I love grocery outlet!
It’s like the Ross or marshals of grocery stores to me. Always a good find, not a lot of the same stuff, but if you look you will find pure gold.
Probably my favorite thing about grocery outlet is how awesome their gluten free section is and how adorable it is! Again, I love grocery outlet!
