Albertsons

Great prices on meat, but cheap meat and it shows, also it’s the slowest grocery store you can imagine. Almost to the point where it gets frustrating. Nice staff but short staffed and it really bites them on customer service where they are very weak

The prices are okay but not the best in the area. The alcohol section is large which is useful for a party. I don’t recommend the wing bar, not worth it.

The store closes one hour earlier that its listing time it closes at midnight not 1 a.m.

I had a wonderful experience in the bakery. I ordered my son’s third birthday cake there. They went above and beyond to make him the best cake. Everyone in the bakery was so nice and had great customer service.

This is a very slow location. I really enjoyed their meat sales but that is about it. Now that I have been eating less meat I don’t really see any other reason to shop here anymore. The employees I have encountered in the evening seem like they are bothered to be working. I will take my business to other local places that have friendly cashiers, and decent sales on a variety of foods.

They are very bad about stocking items that are on sale. The last time I shopped, there were no butter, eggs, and chuck roast. Zero! This isn’t the first time but this is the first time so many of the items were left cleaned out. Lame.

This is a nice modern store, clean and well organized. Albertson’s prices are good and I’m usually able to find good deals on meat especially chicken.
Like some of the other reviews mentioned. If you like some eye candy while shopping there seems to be an abundance at this store. Bonus.

I live close by so this is my go-​to grocery store. I always find what I want. No key card necessary because they give everyone «reduced» prices. The guys at the deli counter recognize me and greet me when I arrive.

Went shopping here specifically because they had a couple of meat items on sale that I wanted. Second time trying both times they are out of the sale items. This time talk to the butcher behind the counter and he just shrugged and said if it’s not out we don’t have it. When I asked about a rain check he said they order but if it sells out it’s out. Did get a rain check from the cashier but doubt I will be going back. I will be shopping at my frys and bashas where they know what customer service is and have sale items in stock.
Just wanted to mention most of the reviews I do on Unilocal are positive. I am NOT just a negative poster bashing everyone.

Pretty good selection, variety and quality overall. No VIP cards needed. I’d like to see Albertson’s encourage people bringing reusable bags rather than expecting customers to be supplied plastic bags that are thrown away the next day. Didn’t seem like the cashier liked seeing me bring my own bags, as if it were something political… Oh well. probably not gonna stop be from bringing my own cloth bags or shopping at Albertsons. Cest la vie

Needed flip flops. Bought flip flops. Place is nice but prices are slightly higher. Lots of older people who take too long to check out. For various reasons. We have the «change finders» who have to look in their tiny purses for exact change. We have the motorized wheelchair cart people who get five things but take an hour, and we also have the «so bored that I have to make a conversation out of everything» people. These are the worst because they will not even take their money out of their wallet until they have their conversation. But they have food. They have beer and wine. And flip flops.

This review is only based on dairy products: I usually only shop at Albertsons for their cheap eggs deals and sometimes great Shamrock milk deals. Not sure about any other departments like bakery, seafood, and/​or meat departments as I don’t usually shop here for those things. But I do want to give props to their fast check-​out stands.

A grocery store that eliminates self checkout lanes is pathetic. This chain is going backwards. It apparently wants us to wait in lines behind old ladies who writes checks to make our two item shopping trip that much more fun. I’m boycotting this antique supermarket chain until they return to reality. Idiots there said customers didn’t want them. Meanwhile every other chain has them? It’s 2013 Albertson’s, get a clue.

The main reason I like shopping at Albertsons — The meat counter. When its on sale, I can get 93% fat free ground beef… at times for less than $ 3 a lb (when purchasing more than 3 lbs).
I also love the deli counter and bakery. Can and box prices are a little more expensive than your Frys and definitely Walmart. So I try to just stick to the meat, deli, and bakery counters here.
This Albertsons is right on the way home from work, and by the daycare, so I can swing by here and grab what I need and then go pick up Baby C. :)

Pharmacist is SO FUNNY! He always brightens my day and brings comedic relief to a dull task (picking up prescriptions).
I don’t do much of my grocery shopping at Albertson’s since I try and purchase mostly sustainable foods, but their french bread is DELICIOUS! I could seriously eat a whole loaf in one sitting. The management is accommodating. I did once get hit on and stalked throughout the store by one of their creepy bag people. I think he might have been a little «out there» though, so it was more humorous than anything.

their produces and meats are above-​average!
their seasoned bonless, skinless chicken breasts are great for grilling! get them when they go on sale for $ 2 – 3 a pound!
the deli case workers are so sweet!

Wow this is funny… Like Julia, this is my neighborhood Albertsons and I totally concur, the best looking shoppers ever.
I was simply going to write «Stripper Central» till I read the rest.
That being said… THE WORST PARKING LOT EVER (1 star penalty). What is with the huge dip off Thomas Road by Ace, think you can fix that? Definitely rule out heading South on Scottsdale when you are done and good luck even turning right. My favorite parking spot is actually by the barber shop on the South side… enter off Scottsdale between the oil shop and the shopping center. Bonus if you can get a shade spot by Einstein’s.
This place usually does have killer deals like 2 bottles of Black swan for 9 bucks and king crab legs for as low as $ 7.99/lb. Now that’s exciting.
They also have Gonesh incense, one of my faves. Get em back there by the eggs… the number 8 and 12 are the best!
Oh and if you are a Bacon fan, get the cuts in the case at the butchery. You will never go back.

Number 1: I wish this store were on the north side of Thomas because I find it hard to get in and out of. waaaah.
Number 2: I had not read the reviews about hot chicks shopping here before going to Albertson’s but clearly that’s why i was drawn there… clearly.
Has anyone else noticed that the Albertson’s parking lot has spaces big enough for Hummers? I saw a Chevy Durango that didn’t fill up its space and I had five-​foot clearance on either side of my car. That is kind of weird but also really great.
Prices are average and the produce looks crisy and fresh. i went in not knowing what i wanted and coming out with a pretty healthy selection. Oh and I have to say that the Albertson’s brand Mild salsa sold in the cases on the right in the produce area is actually really spicy. I usually take a Medium heat salsa but this mild is tasty. Maybe this is just my first experience with southwest food in the southwest.

OK, this is my neighborhood grocery store, so why does it always look like the casting call for The Young and the Restless? The guys have written about all the hot girls, and they are right, I swear when I was leaving there yesterday a supermodel was walking in. There is also a huge contingency of tragically cute couples, and a lot of hot guys.
What is going on here people? Is this store part of some secret reality show that they pack with good looking people? I have a hard time getting through my shopping trip. I am constantly being distracted by the hot dudes!
What sucks about this is, I feel like I am a total slob if I have to run up to the store in sweats or any working around the house gear. Also, when I had the flu, and had to sit at the Pharmacy for 20 min looking pathetic after throwing up all night, I really didn’t want to run into any hot guys.
The funny thing is, I do not see any pick ups going on. I don’t think anyone knows how to do that in a grocery store. Maybe everyone is too sober, or maybe they are just more interested in groceries?
Oh yeah, it is clean and overall a pretty decent grocery store too. Although, I still buy more of my produce at Sunflower.

I thought I was sooooo clever writing about this place and being all useful but Max A. already beat me to the punch.
Shop here any time of the day or night for groceries and you will be assaulted with the highest concentration on eye candy in the known Phoenix-​Metro area. It’s better than the Safeway near ASU. It’s completely rad. I’ve never successfully picked up a lady in a grocery store because, frankly, I don’t look very wholesome and that’s a place where it seems like you need to be to be successful, but if you’re a guy in a suit or work out clothes going to or coming from the LA Fitness up the road you might have a chance.
It’s usually clean and well stocked too, but who really cares, aren’t most grocery stores?
Don’t pretend like you don’t like staring at hot people…
