Albertsons

This place is closed now?! Awww… I’m gonna miss this place. It was a great place to buy meat for the crock pot because of their buy-​one, get-​two-​free specials,

This place is now Minyard sun fresh market. Went in for the first time since Minyard bought them. Everything there is twice as expensive as Kroger or sprouts. Too bad, because I live close by

I was open to new ownership & name change… however I think the standards are not as high as what it was with Albertsons. Cashiers eating at the register while checking out my items? Not a fan. I’ll give it another shot assuming this was just a 1 time occurrence.

This has been my family’s grocery store every since we moved into this house over 25 years ago! It is clean, well-​staffed, and has what I need for a good price. Not über fancy but totally gets the job done and it is not at a crowded intersection. I really love this grocer. Has a pharmacy too!
~Carpe Diem~

I love the pharmacy team here! I’ve been using them for years now. I feel like I can really talk to all of the team members and ask them anything. Wait time is usually about 20 minutes on any prescription. No big deal!
My husband really loves the meat department.

They are always helpful at this location. It is probably the closest Albertson’s by our house so when they are having a good sale, this is location we head to. They are friendly and the store is clean. For the most part we have no problem locating what we need to find. Overall, this is one of my favorite grocery stores! :-)

For high quality, Albertson’s has the very best tasting chicken. The chicken I buy has the bone-​in breasts with ribs from Sanderson Farms. None of the off taste I find with many of the other chicken bought from other stores in the area including some of my favorite stores. They also carry gulf shrimp that is very good. And, I like their extra lean ground meat in the meat case. All three items generally go on sale every month or two. I go to other stores for local produce but the quality of the produce is usually good here. I also shop the large wholesale store and this chicken is far superior. The store needs updating, however, the one they updated near another site looks great, does a ton more business but with the update came higher prices.

Friendly people which makes it my fav place to shop for groceries

I always say I’m never coming back here but it’s the only grocery store on hillcrest when I drive home from work.
The store is old and dated, always long lines, and it feels depressing every time I am in here. Staff is nice but never enough of them are working.

There’s not much to like about this place, except that now they at least carry beer and wine. They did finally install a large automatic sliding glass door though (until march 2012, they had several automatic 3ft wide individual doors marked specifically for enter/​exit). See how interesting this place is? I’m writing about their new door… We buy most of our groceries at sprouts or central market, but Albertson’s is closer and has more convenient hours which is nice when you just need to get one or two items in a hurry…

It’s weird to come back to the store you used to shop at as a kid. My family’s been shopping here since it was Skagg’s. Even now, I’ll accidentally tell my dad I’m stopping off at Skagg’s on the way to his house, does he need anything?
That said, I’ve really been waffling between three and four stars. It’s tough because I’ve been shopping here since the dawn of time so I know where EVERYTHING IS. Even if I haven’t stopped in to this store in 5 years, I can still lead you directly to where you need to go. Because by and large, the layout hasn’t changed much.
I’ve had some excellent luck with amazing produce at this Albertsons. WAY better than the Albertsons near where I live now (Keller Springs/​Josey). Seriously, I got a peach the size of a grapefruit and it was absolutely one of the best store-​bought peaches I’d ever eaten. They have decent deals on produce, too. I got fresh, whole ears of corn for super cheap (3 for $ 2, I think) and they were delicious after we put them on the grill for a bit (even tasty after one accidentally caught fire).
But another time, I couldn’t find a popular brand’s dip in the refrigerated section. Let’s face it: Dean’s french onion dip is the best. They were completely out and had stocked Ranch dip in its place. I had to buy the Kraft brand which just isn’t as good to me, and for some reason was 75 cents more expensive than the sold-​out Dean’s brand.
Since they did away with their Rewards card, you won’t find the same crazy deals here as you might find occasionally at Tom Thumb… but by and large, their prices are cheaper than Tom Thumb, and it’s more even pricing. Not $ 1 on Tuesday then $ 9 on Sunday.
Yeah, this Albertsons might not look like much, but it really does have a good selection at good prices. Not an amazing selection and not great prices… I think its price-​point is situated somewhere between WalMart and Tom Thumb.
I know that I can probably find whatever grocery item I need here. I even found Amy’s frozen Mac n Cheese (it was a mac n cheese winter, last winter, folks) for $ 1.50 each once. That was awesome. I bought like 10. I’d never seen it that cheap before.
It’s a good store, and I’d rather come here than going to WalMart. If I still lived near here, I’d probably be here more often. I do remember when it was 24 hours though. Not anymore… they close at midnight or 1am now.

It’s got everything you could need.

Albertsons is a great grocery store if you need you basics; eggs, milk, and bread. You could even get a little fancier, and get some cheese or flowers.
If you are expecting an organic selection or wine/​beer, you will have better luck else where. This Albertsons, is not able to sell wine or beer because of the proximately to the Shelton School. But if you need you basics, you are in luck and have a great selection.
A quirky note, is that they will ask you if you play Yahtzee. Umm.‘yes I have played Yahtzee as a child, why?’ To answer my question, they have a promo of a scratch off ‘Yahtzee’. I lost each time I played, sad.
