Food Bazaar Supermarket

I wish Unilocal had minus stars. I went in to food bazaar last Thursday afternoon. First let me start with the fact that I live 40 minutes away but am willing to travel because of this store prices! Not so much the case this time. They had corn advertised for 7corn for $ 2.00. Right beside where the corn was displayed was a trash can. Now I have food shopped in numerous other establishments and its always the same you clean your corn and bag it up! Well once I finished with my shopping $ 215.00 later as the cashier rang up the corn she pointed to a sign that was by the register that said 7 corn for $ 2. If you clean your corn the corn is 3 corn for $ 2!!! Outrageous right? Well I told her that I should be charged according to what was advertised in the circular. Its false advertising so I asked to speak to a manager. The produce Dept. Manager appeared and told me the same thing that the sign was by the corn and at the register. I went ahead and told him that I don’t go around looking for in store signs I look at the circular. He then said that its in the fine print at the bottom of the circular! Funny because any shopper knows what is stated at the bottom of any circular. I asked to speak to the store manager and the cashier just turned around And walked away. After 5 minutes I started walking out I noticed an Asian man on the store phone. I waited for him to finish and asked him for the store managers name. He bluntly refused to give me the persons name saying that the sign was by the corn and those were the store rules!!! I left furious!!! store rules??? Wtf what’s the point of have a circular with weekly sales if you are going to place whatever bogus sign in store??? I will never shop at this location again! Where is the customer service??? I have already emailed corporate let’s see if the respond! I will be reporting this store to the BBB!!!

If I could do zero stars I would. I stopped at Food Bazaar yesterday for shopping from their fish department. BAD MISTAKE.
I picked up a couple of whole fishes and asked the staff if they could weight it for me. The staff accidentally dropped both fishes on the dirty floor. Well accidents happen. However instead of grabbing a clean one, he picked up the dirty fish and tried to give it to me.
I refused to take it and asked for a clean one. He cursed me in Spanish and gave me another fish. Guess where he put the dirty fish? Back inside the display case!!! It was completely disgusting and the staff’s entire attitude was unacceptable. I guess he thought I can’t understand what he was saying in Spanish.
I took the fishes and went to customer service. I tried to explain to them the situation. They just took the fish and ignored my problem.
I had my worst grocery store experience so far. Avoid shopping at Food Bazaar at all costs.

I’m completely disgusted with this place. I recently moved to the area and have been exploring grocery stores in the area and I must say THERE IS NOTHOING LIKE SHOPRITE. They have a good selection of ethnic foods but when it comes to perishables, this is where I had a problem, Actually two. The first and last time i went to this store among the things I about were Flank steak and Arepas (colombian corn griddles cakes). When I opened the «arepas» the next morning for breakfast, they were moldy! There went my breakfast, I went to the store and returned them.
A couple days later I went to use the Flank steak for dinner, and it was moldy and turning black. The sell by date was 08÷15÷15 and this was 08÷12÷15. Totally disgusted.
Aside from this, some of the people there are rude.
WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE AND WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE.

Food Bazaar is a staple in WNY. You can find just about anything you need for your culinary adventures. I personally feel that the produce fresh & prices are great. The best part is the selection of multi cultural products on the shelves. However, the meat department is disgusting. It stinks. Revolting even. I don’t breath just run right past it.
I NEVER EVER buy meat there.

Food Bazaar, keeps it real. You walk in the grocery store and pay reasonable prices for produce and meats. The best part is they have all the Latin, Caribbean, and central America brands. I enjoy the variety and simplistic local vibe. P. S. If you enjoy music, they play salsa, merengue, and bachata in the background. :-D
Tip: Its crowded in the weekends, so just plan accordingly.

The best choice in West New York for 1 – 10 items if no vehicle. I wouldn’t recommend taking items off shelf and throwing them in the cart without checking dates in any market near by and this place is no different.
Many items are pricier than Whole Foods.
If you don’t go to a known chain you will wind up spending twice as much money assuming that is an issue for rotting, expiring food.
I do recommend this store over Freshco however for neighborhood shopping.

I’m new WNY (as in just moved in yesterday), so I was thrilled to find a pretty normal grocery store in walking distance.
Things are priced way more than I’m used to, $ 1.79 for pasta sides that cost only $ 1 where I’m from. Mark up isn’t as bad on other items, but definitely not what I’m used to.
Selection is good enough for a college student, but I was only shopping for the cheapest goods I could get.
Didn’t have any problems.

Decent price for the area. The produce is not fresh full of dirt, and limp. Everything else is just ok.

Thank God for this place! finally a «normal» grocery store to go to, that has absolutely everything you need! I’m soo sick and tired of bodegas that have such a limited amount of absolutely nothing. This store should win some kind of fantastic /​amazing award for selection, prices and service, way to go Food Bazaar!

Have to let everyone know this place is not all that great. It is big, but doesn’t have that great a selection of dry goods. And some basic things can be really over priced. First rule of Food Bazzar, never buy anything frozen. I do not think they follow standard supermarket stocking procedures, because everything I have ever bought frozen here either had freezer burn or tasted funny, like ice cream with a weird consistency that taste a little funny. Yeah, it was pretty gross. They do have a decent fish and meat department, but again, if they are leaving the ice cream out and then refreezing it, what are they doing with the chicken? Produce section is ok, dairy department is small. Lines do not move very fast and checkout employees are not very civil.

They have the freshest produce in the area and their prices are great infact the best in the neighborhood. Its always packed. They are well stocked always and the staff is very friendly although they speak limited english. Its much bigger than typical latino stores and most important its clean. They have a huge fresh sea food section too. Definitely stop by if you are in the area.
