Grocery Outlet

Great place to shop, employees are awesome. But watch out for the crazy old lady who verbally assaults customers!

Ugggg, I hate this place, but, if I am in the neighborhood and I am feeling frisky I will drop in and check out the cheese selection, maybe three times a year. In my book that is about all this place is good for. I can get some killer deals on cheese, really good cheese and on occasion a great price on Boursin Cheese, which I like to use in scrambled eggs.
The last time I dropped by I needed some blueberries for a Gallette and it was on my way home. I bought two pints of blueberries and when I got home they were total mush, nearly every berry was mushy and moldy. I should have known better.
I don’t buy much in the frozen food section so I can’t speak for that and there is no way in hell I would buy any meat or dairy there (other than cheese).
It is kind of dirty and gross in general, and the employees look like they are serving a jail term.
Not my favorite place to shop.

Small store, but good selection, produce was above average. Fast in and out, but at a busy intersection

I have been shopping at GO stores in California, as well as here in Portland. I know what I am buying, so I love shopping there. Great service, and great prices. If you are a regular shopper at GO, you will know what to look for, and where too find it in the store. Depending on area, GO stocks its products accordingly. When I lived in Citrus Heights CA, they stocked a
lot of good organic products, and usually had ample supply. The Hall Blvd. store doesn’t stock
nearly as much organic, but their produce is very good. The Harris Ranch beef is priced right,
and the New York Sausage is PRIMO! The cheese selection is a great value. The Monterrey
Farms cheeses are really good. A dozen free range eggs for $ 2.99. They have really thick shells, and are delicious. Retired and on a fixed income, I couldn’t eat this well if it wasn’t for
the great products that GO provide for their customers… Not enough stars too show my appreciation of GROCERY OUTLET… If you go often, as I do, you will save BIG!

The produce here is terrible and like all GOs, a lot of the stuff they sell is close to, if not, expired. Sometimes I feel like I got a good deal; other times, stuff is priced the same as Safeway and other stores. Nothing impressive here. Not sure off of what they price savings… it’s just another grocery store.

Great bargains, friendly staff, and an ever changing stock! Love this place. Delicious 50 cent avocados, a pint of organic grape tomatoes for $ 1.50, and 2 lbs of cuties for $ 1.99. I’m in love!

I’ve been back a few times and I still dig Grocery Outlet, but I want to warn you that the music does sometimes suck. They’re on satellite, so it’s hit or miss.

I like Grocery Outlet. I’ve been shopping their various locations since they were Rainbow Canned Food Outlet many years ago. It was just dented/​salvage canned food back then, and you had to price your own items with a grease pen!
The place is much improved! Now they have fresh fruit and dairy. You still can’t do your «regular» grocery shopping here or use your shopping list because they don’t stock their products that way. They stock clearance items and bargains. Sometimes the package is not in English, but that’s what the pictures are for.
Service is always very good, and checkout is friendly and quick. I’ve never seen the place super crowded. You never know what you will find, and if you find something you like, you probably wont ever find it there again. But the prices are pretty good.

The best thing about Grocery Outlet is the price. The worst thing about Grocery Outlet is that if you see something you want and use, you have to buy it now because it maybe gone in a week.
We have been using it as our first stop on our grocery shopping trips for about a decade now. We get staples and whatever special items they might have currently before heading over to another store to pick up our favorite brands. The fact that they have an organic section now (which is admittedly hit or miss,) is a huge plus.
The differences in food selection is such that when we travel, we’ll actually stop by other Grocery Outlet branches to pickup items that we don’t have at our regular store.
Nothing says obsessed like driving from Northern California with $ 200 of bulk goods from three different Grocery Outlets in the trunk of the car.

This grocery store is really close to my place which is nice.
They have great, cheap groceries for almost or at times half the price then regular stores.
We usuallly buy our frozen food from here and snacks.
Side note: please look at the expiration date before buying.

Darn, I like this Grocery Outlet. Makes my GO seem more like a 3.5 stars. This place is big and clean. Lots of socks, coffee and the wine/​beer sections seems better than average. I didnt see as many «bargain» prices on meat… but they also had stuff set up differently. The produce here looked nicer, fuller, and better kept than does the produce at my St Johns store.

This is the cleanest one I have been too. Friendly staff and the right products stocked.

The only Grocery Outlet I knew of was on Murray and TV Highway next to the KMart. I remember going in there a few times and being turned off because it was kind of old, dimly lit and empty. This place is basically the ‘Big Lots’ or ‘TJ Maxx’ of grocery stores, random shipments and one-​time buys.
When this store opened it took a bit of convincing to get my husband to take a risk and stop in. Now he wants to go every week! This place is a goldmine for people that love great wine deals for low prices (think better than Trader Joe’s 2-​buck chuck for a bit more $). I highly recommend the «Red Truck» brand red wines, they are fantastic for the price. Also, they have some great name brand stuff that they get shipments on, that once it is gone it won’t be back.
Great place to stock up on canned goods, pantry stuff and refrigerated cheeses. We have had really good luck with some tasty goat and specialty cheeses (found an amazing deal on Tillamook vintage white aged cheddar, which is crazy spendy at the grocery store.) Be smart and buy a few extra of something, because you may not get the option to buy it again.
A few things we have learned are hit and miss:
–The meat section is a little low quality and we have learned to avoid that after a few questionable purchases.
–The fresh vegetable and fruit section CAN be good, but be careful about the quality in bulk and check the freshness of individual items closely. You will want to eat what you purchase fairly soon.
Amazing deals to be had here if you put in some effort, its worth it to save some extra money.
A good tip: Be sure to check the mail ad circular (the Red Plum with the pizza and hamburger inserts) as they put out ads weekly, and I have seen a coupon for $ 5 off a $ 15 purchase. Every little bit counts! The money we have saved on coffee and wine alone is worth the trip.
Favorite items that are we are always restocking:
— Red Truck Red Wine
— Frozen chicken breasts
— Refrigerated cheeses
— Canned tomatoes
— Ice Cream
— Pickles
— Boondock brand Coffee (great quality for low price), switched from Sbux
If you are into treasure hunting for low price, quality stuff this is a real diamond in the rough!

Glad to have a decent Grocery Outlet on my side of the river; pity it’s quite a bus ride. However, I think it’s worth the hassle to get such low prices on things. They don’t have the same things all the time, being an outlet and all, but I can manage to get much of my shopping done here. The big bag of Foster Farms chicken I got was worth the trip. I’m wary of their fresh meats, but other things are good and cheap if you plan on using them soon or freezing them.
I needed to go to a «regular» store to get some things, but the Outlet is a good place to start your shopping. You never know what savings they’ll have.

Recently, we had our first trip to Grocery Outlet. I heard so many good things about this store, but I didn’t know what to expect. We walked in and we saw cheap prices everywhere. I love to shop with coupons so I asked one of the stock person if they accepted coupons, he said they only accept their coupons but not manufacture coupons. If you are couponers like me and expect to use manufacture coupons here, you should just leave your coupon binders in the car.
Like other reviewers said in their reviews, some of food items here are near expiration dates or they expired that day. By expired meaning, the date on the packaging will say «freeze by such and such date» or «use by such and such date». If it’s freeze by date, I don’t mind that since I can freeze those items. We got Jimmy Dean sausage for 99 cents each and some bacon strips for $ 1.29 per package. Good deal and I know we will consume them soon.
We got some chicken, fruits, and vegetables with really good price. I wish there’s one closer to our home, but the drive to King City on the weekend is not that bad. I’m now a fan of Grocery Outlet. It’s truly a bargain market.

Never the same stuff twice… If you like something stock up because chances are it won’t be there if you return next week.
Double check your expiration dates before putting them in your cart.

This place is close to my work site, so I come here on weekly basis. It helps keep my spending on food budget low, and I love the diverse selections here. I already have everything memorized in Fred Myer, Winco, New Season’s, etc but this place always have something new, as inventory changes depending on what excess products are available.
I always save at least 50% to even 80% here, so I don’t need to feel guilty… except when I buy stuff that was not really necessary (like that night cream that was $ 60 for $ 10 (lol) Cashier’s are nice, store is clean, and my weekly stop is always enjoyable. Oh, and don’t forget the number on receipt to leave feedback and chance for $ 50 shopping spree…

My daughter keep telling me I should shop at Grocery Outlet-​after all it’s about walking distance from the homestead. Today I did, as I was shopping with her.
It’s right next to K-​Mart at Murray and TV Hwy in Beaverton, and I had kind of considered it a K-​Mart version of a grocery store-​and in some ways it it… the prices are very low (example.Benniful Dog Meals-​usually 3 for $ 5 on sale @ Wince are 99 cents each at G.O.). However it’s sort of like Costco in that they might not always have that dog food. Or that shampoo or any specific thing that you crave. When you find something you like, you have to buy it then!
If you aren’t stuck on specific brands for things that are pretty much similar, you can score good deals here. Shower wash for $ 1.50 instead of $ 4, slightly off colors of hair dye, basics like hair brushes and hand lotion and a nice brand of T.P. all at deep discount.
OK I’m now a fan and will have to do what my daughter does-​shop here first with the list then go to the other grocery stores. For many things, they even beat Winco, which in my book is the least expensive store around.

fantastic wine selection! I’ve found a lot of great quality wines here for not very much $$. plus, you can’t beat a policy where you can return ANYTHING (wine, produce, etc.) if you don’t like it.
yes, it’s important to check the expiration dates but really you can run into that issue anywhere (don’t get me started on the year expired Parmesan I found at a Safeway in town).
I think part of why I love coming in here is that you never know what you may find and there can be some fantastic finds (thomas kemper sodas, kettle chips, habanero chicken sausage, herbal teas, chewy nerds, etc, etc).
plus the staff here is super friendly and helpful.
it’s definitely worth popping in, if only for the wine, if you’re in the area.

The Canned-​Food Crack-​House is goin’ strong. Pick up your gift wrap, greeting cards, T.P., shampoo, hair-​styling products and paper towels at insanely cheap prices. Perhaps the package is slightly ripped or the item has older, outdated packaging. In any case the non-​food items are a steal.
I have found BedHead and Redken hair products, and my favorite 100% cotton Tampax tampons (which they don’t manufacture anymore). Those were 50 cents per box… I couldn’t eff-​ing believe it!
Do NOT buy the frozen food. Most of it is expired, and sometimes it’s been thawed in transit and then re-​frozen at the store. Gross. I would also stay away from the cheese, milk and other perishable items unless you carefully check the expiration dates.
Baking supplies: yes. go for it. Real vanilla extract and other expensive flavorings/​spices for cheap cheap cheap.
They even have wine tastings!
