Save Mart

I live down the street from Safe mart but I will drive as far as I have to, and pay more money rather than go to these these pieces of you know what, prices are ridiculous, the service, oh boy don’t start me on that. Last time I went in there, the fat cashiers rings me up and I’m telling her that the advertised price is less than this and she’s looking at me and talking to me like I’m lying and then she wants me to go back and bring the proof from where I got the product. Never again will I go there, wish could give then negative star. I am a very busy person but imagine how much they have pissed me off that I’m sitting here and writing this so other people realize what kind of pieces of turd they’re dealing with. You want good prices and courteous people try Food Maxx on the corner of 11^th and Corral Hollow. I know I swear I do not work for them I have nothing to do with those guys I’m just very happy with their food and service better than Costco or any other places that I been to

As far as neighborhood grocery stores go, save mart is a good blend of quality and prices. While the meat selection isn’t as nice as Raley’s it’s markedly cheaper as well. Overall it’s a cheaper Safeway without the big chain bella and whistles.

Tell Gabe the checker he should not be wiping his snotty nose while he is checking groceries. He is a rude guy without a personality. So gross. I am done with Savemart!

Stopped in to pick up some fish filets but arrived at 9a. Female employee had fish in plastic bags on a rolling rack. No Ice just sitting on the cart. When I arrived the shellfish and maybe salmon was in the case on ice. Well she was yapping away with every employee who came her way, needless to say, 25 minutes went by and everything was still the way as it was when I walked in 25min prior. I picked up everything I needed except the fish as it probably warmed up to unsafe levels. I ended up driving to Raley’s for the fish. It is not hard to see why so many people are getting sick these days from unsafe foods. People are simply not trained on how to handle meat, fish, dairy and veggies anymore or they just don’t care? Sad really!

Why can’t the pack produce with like items? Tomatoes do not go in the same bag with canned items and bottles… shouldn’t they know this. Every week it’s the same thing and I have to tell them No don’t do that.
It’s so frustrating

Got some awesome cheesecake from here with tons of slices for only 13.99 sounds great
Just tried it and it was delicious
Savemart has good deals and the staff are helpful
Cheap alternative to Raleys or Safeway

Everyone BUT SABRINA is nice here — Sabrina needs to find a job where she doesn’t have to deal with people — terrible unhappy person who yells at people and tells them they don’t deserve respect. Not only that she calls people liars. I’m so disgusted

Well, I shop at Save Mart almost daily. I find the staff to be helpful and the bakery and deli are pretty good. However, I had not had much luck with the seafood. Twice I have purchased seafood (red snapper and small shrimp) and it smelled funny when I got it home. The shrimp actually made me a little sick — thank God I only ate a couple pieces. All in all, it’s a good market but avoid the seafood.
This is a rating for the Grass Valley store, BTW.

Nice staff. Always asking if I’ve found everything ok and with a smile on their face. You can’t find that kind of customer service at Winco.

produce are always well stocked. Prices are pretty reasonable for your budget and the people who works here are very friendly and is always willing to help out with your needs

The only reason I’m giving two stars is because the workers are very nice.
I live across the street from this savemart and unless I am desperate I don’t shop here anymore. The check out lines are so long and during peak hours there is usually only one check out lane open. If your lucky the cashier will call for another clerk to open a check stand but by the time a backup checker gets there the cashier that initially called for back up has finished helping all the customers.
I have also had an issue with getting expired food here. I purchased 10 vegetable trays for a luncheon. When I opened the first veggie tray everyone’s toenails curled because the stench that engulfed the room was nearly toxic! No big deal right, I mean I have 9 other trays. So I opened the second one and it smelt worse then the first. So then I notice all the trays have expired.
So I take all the trays back with my receipt and they only reimbursed me for 8 trays because the other two had been opened! The cashier nearly clothe pinning his nose just to handle the return transaction and he couldn’t give me a full refund on obviously expired food?!! I have been burned. Never again, never again.

Clean store with fresh products and the prices are fine compared to other grocery stores. I saw a couple of reviews in here with people saying that they have gotten expired product and I agree with them 100% because I purchased a pack of Energizer Hearing Aid Batteries size 10 for my mother in law and paid over $ 14 for one pack, the next day she tried several and noticed none of them were working so I checked the pack and it had expired on March 2014, that’s six months ago. I went to the store the next day to check on the rest of Energizer Hearing Aid Batteries size 10, same as the one I purchased, and all of the packages had the same Exp. Date of March, 2014
Now the question is:
Why do they let this to happen?
Is there somebody responsable in checking these batteries before putting them on the shelf?
I talked to the Manager and his response was that he tought batteries last for a long time before they expired. Well, he’s correct, they do last a long time, but they probably got an old box from the vendor, that’s why it is important to do everything they can to avoid old/​expired products and make sure that they will not hit the shelves.
Now I’m out of $ 14 and ended up with a bunch of old, good for nothing batteries and I won’t get my $$ back because I don’t have the receipt and no way to prove I purchased from them because I paid in cash, my lost. their gain.
Oh well, next time I will remember to check the Exp. Date on each and every product (food or non-​food) before I put them in my basket. Just don’t trust this store anymore.

My neighborhood store. I am in here several times a week. It’s nice to be treated well and have my daughter treated special.
The cashiers are always kind, helpful and quick.
The deli is clean, quick and the food has always been quality.
Produce is always clean and fresh.
Meats are good variety.
I love the 99¢ veggies in the back corner in the afternoons-​I get to buy veggies, fruits or other items that would expire in a day or two at a great deal.
I couldn’t find a single serving ice cream one day, but other than that I have always gotten what a came for.

Love savemart super convienent. Prices are ok but the lines are always short and the staff are really nice. I hate that the deli closes so early though.

Almost impossible to get someone to ring up groceries in the early hours. All that is open is self check-​out. I am not going to use that because some items can’t be purchased using that method. Meat and seafood selection has really gone down hill. I’ve given up trying any of it.

We went there a few times only be ause Safeway was so crowded. Twice we bought meat that was bad, it did not show expired. When we opened the package after freezing definitely rotten.

This SaveMart is a pretty standard neighborhood grocery store. They have a great selection but are a little pricey. I’m more of a low price Winco kind of gal myself, but if I can’t make it to Winco, I’ll come here.
Overall, SaveMart is a clean store with fresh products. I saw a couple reviews with people saying that they have gotten expired things, but I myself have not had that problem. It’s always safe to check the dates on the stuff you buy either way. I will say that their produce, while not as fresh as Safeway, is fresher than Winco. Of course, with a significant price difference. The other parts of the store are comparable to their competitors.
SaveMart has a friendly staff for the most part. The night crew can be a little dismissive and I have experienced this a few times. I generally try to come during the day to get my shopping done because that’s when there is a better selection and friendlier service.
Good solid store at the end of the day but if you want something fancier, try Safeway/​Raleys or if you want something cheaper, try Winco.

NIGHT STAFF IS SO RUDE!!! I went here at 11:45 pm right, my wife and I are looking for some coffee beans, milk, and a late night sweet snack to eat. 5 minutes later we hear this lady over the intercom talking saying that the store is closing in 15 mins please bring your purchases to the checkout. so 10 minute announcement past then the final closing announcement. so we are walking towards the check out when we see something we like in another lane we stopped to look at it. Then we are walking to the check out stand, I forgot to grab the milk so I start walking to the back if the store when BAM! Another announcement she says «sir you in the blue shirt, we are closed now! You need to bring your cart here and leave!» She Said this over the entire store intercom!!! I was so pissed!
so when we are getting checked out the lady is ringing up our items and she’s rushing all crazy and shoving our stuff in the plastic bags then BAM! she stops in the middle of everything and as we are about to hand her the money she decides to give keys to a co worker and then starts taking about a party or something that she’s going after work while we are standing there with money in our hand ready to pay with our stuff in bags and in the cart ready to go… umm hello she was the one that was rushing us in the first place and she has time to talk to her workers and goof off!
I am Never Ever coming here ever again! everything is way over priced and staff is really really really REALLY RUDE!!!

A typical neighborhood grocery store, overall. Save Mart offers a broad selection of the products you might expect at a few-​pennies under Safeway and Raley’s prices. It is notably higher than WinCo.
I didn’t find the meat counter as impressive as the competition in terms of service or quality. Most grocery stores seem to sell meat packaged for fresh sale that is or was hard frozen but this seems more standard at this Save Mart. In contrast, I’d describe the produce section as well managed. Produce is kept well stocked, there is pretty good variety, and I’ve never found wilted or spoiled product on the shelf.
There is a reasonably good selection of beer and wines at this store but far fewer than the Raley’s at Tracy Blvd. & Valpico Road. Don’t look for a coffee shop. There isn’t one. The deli is OK but, I much prefer the variety and quality of Raley’s for deli items.
Save Mart has loss leaders each day and keeps sale papers by the doors so shoppers can easily check the weekly ad and get in-​store coupons.
The staff is approachable but convey a sense of tiredness or resignation. This is in contrast to Safeway where you can’t walk down an aisle without being greeted and asked if you need assistance or Raley’s where everyone is absolutely bubbly.
Overall, we use Save Mart primarily to stock up on sale items and for quick stop shopping when we need soy milk or a recipe ingredient.

They constantly have expired food on their shelves… Milk yogurt etc… BEWARE!!!
you can tell the clerk, but they really don’t respond?
their produce is also nasty, I only buy goods from them that have a very long shelf life… i go to Raleys for my produce
I am too scared to buy anything that they make in their bakery /​deli…
