Save Mart

I love going to this store because it is close to my job and work. I am always treated well by the workers. I should not shop here though because it is too expensive. I save so much money going to Winco. I just get tired of bagging up my groceries and get lazy. They often don’t carry what I am looking for.

Rude. Rude. Rude. I came with my boyfriend, his bro and cousin (all Mexicans) to get beer and some meat to BBQ. We were literally FOLLOWED us around the store, from the beer section to the meat section. They were peeking back n forth at us like we wouldn’t notice any of them looking. They acted like we were going to steal their products! I’m sorry, but every one of us has a job and enough to pay for your high priced products. It was so uncomfortable! Never in my life has that ever happened to me or my bf. When we went to the cashier and paid, she was rude.
The only thing nice about this store is the person who bagged our things!

This is my go to neighborhood store. The staff here are the best and are really friendly. They get to know you after a few times. I agree that the bakery and seafood section might not be the best around but I go elsewhere for that.

Maybe it was the time of the day that I came, but it’s pretty empty here if you want to come do your grocery shopping in peace here lol. The store itself is pretty big and has a variety of things, but don’t get lost like me when you come here for the first time because it can get confusing. They are very organizing with the stockings. You will find a big aisle just for Asian and Mexican food so, it’s not a hassle having to go to an actual Asian/​Mexican market. I usually can’t find some things at other food stores so Save Mart it is.
The staffs are friendly here and are great with their customer service skills. They are quick to open a line for you if you see any line empty. Very helpful with bagging and offering to take your things to the car with you.
The parking isn’t bad here at all. There is plenty of parking although there are many stores around. Cvs is just down the other side if you need more essentials. There are a lot of other small shops and food stores around if you are hungry (Foster Freeze, Taco Bell, Pizza, Deli Delicious, ect). You pretty much can get everything in this little plaza.

love this store the staff always nice the prices arnt the cheapest but they sometimes have great sales like the 5 for $ 5 a good selection of meats for $ 5 a pack. the deli is good as well and the pharmacy is on point! linda is awesome at what she does!

I’m not entirely sure as to what’s happened with this location as of late, but the overall feeling I get when I walk in is unhappiness. This used to be my neighborhood grocery store, and I didn’t mind that they weren’t as cheap as some of the other bigger grocery stores because they always had a good selection and the people were friendly. Well… there’s only one employee left there who has been at all helpful and friendly to me in the last year, and he works in their deli. I honestly wish I could bottle his enthusiasm because he’s genuinely a good employee and eager to help.
As for the rest of the employees, I’ve noticed that a lot of the friendly faces that used to help me are no longer there, and the cashiers that are left have no personalities and are borderline rude. I even saw one lady cashier recently scold the woman in front of me for having to pay with two credit cards. I’ve also had an issue using my debit card one time when I went to key in my PIN, and noticed what looked to be snot gobbed all over the number pad. I disgustedly informed them after I punched in the first number and got the shit on my finger, and asked them if they had any wipes or sanitizer. The cashier actually told me that they sold both in the pharmacy or on aisle 10 with the baby stuff. So, I’m sitting there with some stranger’s snot on my finger, and they don’t care enough to so much as offer to run and get a wipe (and what kind of person handling money DOESN’T keep sanitizer at their station?). Thankfully the woman behind me had some tissue in her purse, so I told the cashier to cancel my order because I wasn’t about to continue pushing numbers on the soiled keypad. The cashier seemed inconvenienced that he had to cancel my order. I couldn’t get out to my car to grab some sanitizer fast enough. For the record, the nice lady behind me moved to the other checkout lane…
Aside from that episode, the last few times I’ve gone in to grab things, I’ve noticed their selection getting smaller. They don’t carry things like prosciutto or bread flour anymore, and even their produce selection has shrunk. They used to carry a good selection of potatoes, but now they only seem to have two types — red and russet. Heirloom tomatoes are gone too. When I’ve brought things to the attention of the produce manager, his standard response is always «Out of season.» Yukon gold potatoes are out of season? Really?
This location used to be a great store, and was my go-​to store for pretty much all my groceries because it’s close to my house, but anymore I find myself either making the trek to the Winco on Ashlan, or stopping at Walmart. Winco always has great prices and really friendly people, and at least Walmart has everything at good prices. If this store keeps going down this path, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re the next closing door for their corporation.

Old, smelly, rip off prices, & 99% of people who work there are rude as hell! Go to Walmart right across the street towards folwer. Walmart prices are half of what rip off save mart is.

I ordered a cake here for my daughter’s birthday. Whoever decorated this cake did a great job! I asked for pink, purple and yellow. It even had 2 shades of pink, light pink and bright pink. Seems like little thing but someone took time to do that. The flowers were beautiful!
This cake looked more like it came from a fancy bakery instead of a grocery store bakery. Also it was delicious! Both people who helped me when I ordered and also when I picked up the cake were very friendly, helpful. Great bakery here!

Today I went to buy beer and groceries with my two cousins visiting from Mexico and the cashier did not allow my cousin to pay for the beer using his govt issued identification and rudely said after I accepted to pay for the groceries, «Sorry! When I go to Mexico… I follow the rules.» A completely unsolicited/​unnecessary comment. As we were walking away… she began to joke around with the following customer and the bagging attendant that she spoke Spanish and continued to ridicule the situation that had just occurred laughing about how she put us in our place. This was the last straw… we immediately walked back and asked to speak to the manager. I explained to the manager what was upsetting about the situation… how her comment about «following the rules in Mexico» was untrue and unjustified. First of all… when this idiot cashier goes to Mexico and consumes alcohol I’m certain the identification she presents is a California ID and not a Mexican issued one… yet she expects a visitor to our wonderful country to somehow have one upon request when all he is required to have is a government issued ID from his country (which has been sufficient the entire trip this far in San Francisco and Tahoe). We asked to speak to the manager and he was very apologetic… it’s unfortunate that he had to cleanup after this person because her lack of professionalism has just cost them a customer and international ones who will take their business elsewhere.

Very disappointed in the bakery.
Ordered a cake and when I came to pick it up, the cake was not what was ordered. Ok, so they offered to remake the cake… I said ok. I waited about 15 mins and they presented another cake. The outside of the cake was pretty close to to what I originally wanted but the filling was overfilled and the cake had to be returned because it had broken in half due to over filling of it. The 3^rd attempt was just to exchange the cake with something pre made that was in the display case.
Will never use them again
As far as the other items in the store are concerned… Why does the staff ask you when you are going through the check out…“did you find everything alright”? After repeatedly telling the staff…“No, I did not find what I was looking for” you don’t have…
Mi Rancho Tortillas
40oz size of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter LITE
Fat Free American Cheese
Either stock these items or get out of my way.
Very happy to see that Walmart Neighborhood Market has opened at Fowler and Shaw, it fills my needs. They carry all of these items.

My family and I have been shopping at this savemart for over 20 years. Recent experiences have lead me away and to winco and Von’s. I know savemarts prices are on the high side, I am paying for the convenience of a having a grocery store 2 minutes from my house. Well for me it’s not worth it anymore. In this economy there is no excuse for bad customer service from them rudely telling my husband he needs to bring in cash next time, no how about you fix your credit/​debit card reader?! Or to the checker flipping over a case of cupcakes then giving me grief when I didn’t want to pay for the ruined product. No thanks. Some of those long time employees need a serious attitude adjustment or need to be replaced by the baggers who at least have some customer service skills. So long savemart!

One of the best grocery stores ever. Clean, well organized, and a very friendly staff.

My favorite people at this store, are the boxboys/​girls. They are all absolutely sweet, friendly and smile.
Only buy items on sale, everything else will be pricey. But isn’t that every grocery store???

I live down the street from here. This store carries what I need when I don’t want to go to the food4less or whatever they call it. Just take note that they are busy from 5−7pm when people are getting off of work. So for you dumb asses out there who try and a pull a women I would recommend doing it at later time. Take note that during the times of 8 – 5 the people from the DMV and High School Frequent this are. Parking is great but some people love to drive monster trucks and take up more than one spot. Overall I am pleased with the store you just need to take note when to go the store.
