Albertsons

The guy at the meat department is on his game whenever I have any questions on what he thinks the best way to cook cod, or best ways to cook ribeye. Very helpful.
I like Albertsons for different reasons that I like Trader Joes. You can bet theres friendly service here. Alot more variety of selection. Not as trendy music, but o the other hand not so yuppy.

I’m not a regular Albertsons shopper. I frequent Bristol Farms, Whole Foods and Ralph’s instead.
That being said, there are certain items that I do get at this store.
This location is the only place locally that I’m able to find EcoSmart organic insecticide. I pick it up for my friend who uses it for ants — it’s non-​toxic & he doesn’t want chemicals around his cats. And it works.
I spray it around my yard sometimes to keep the neighborhood skunks away! It seems to help.
So Albertsons gets a couple of stars for carrying this great product. (Ralph’s used to, but not any more.)
Albertsons gets another star for their spinach dip & their guacamole, which I’ve bought to take to parties. Guests ate it all… too fast.
One more star for the huge parking lot with two easy exits.
I like this Albertsons much better than the one near Catalina & PCH because of the parking and the exits.
So yeah, apparently I’m a fan…

I’m only rating the meat department. They got new staff a year or so ago. After that the meat department is horrible. Fatty cut of meat including flank. Things seem frozen then out out. There isn’t many cuts of meat to find. Just basics. All steak cuts a thin. I’ve been buying my meats at a different store. But employees are wonderful helpful, etc. it’s just the meat department. Horrible.

Great, great customer service here! Matthew was extremely helpful to my friends and I during our shopping experience, and went above and beyond to make sure that we got everything that we needed. Really impressed!

This is a good store in my area. The produce is good, the dairy has a long span for freshness. I never buy meat here so no comment on that. This is the only deli we ever go to. The people are very nice and helpful. It’s a very small store so they don’t have some things and the floor plan needs an overhaul. Given its limitations it is a well managed store.

I’m a big Albertson’s fan. It’s cheaper then Ralph’s and has a bigger selection. The staff here is friendly, the produce is always fresh, and I really appreciate that. Plenty of parking and it stays open to 11pm.

I’ve really tried with this Albertson’s because of the proximity to home and a few wonderful individuals that work there… but I have to say, it’s really bad. The check out lines are always long, the self service is either closed or never works, the produce is often old, dated store, and they are pricey. It’s all a choice and now I’ve been frequenting VONS and Trader Joes around the corner. Although an extra 5 minutes to park — worth it for a much better shopping experience. In fact, I“m probably saving time and stress by not waiting in the lines and looking for my items.

I often stop at this albertsons to get an item or 2 I couldn’t find elsewhere. It’s never been too crowded and it’s always been easy to find parking! I was amazed the first time I checked out their produce department, all the produce was SO neatly stacked. All the peppers were in tidy little rows. Someone with OCD must be in charge of the produce department because it was the tidiest produce department ever!

Extremely helpful staff and clean and well stocked store. Tonight I got $ 40. cash back from my debit purchase but walked out without it. The clerk came running after me to give me the money. Such honesty!

Here I am in Redondo Beach and where do I go? The grocery store!
I was sent to this store by the concierge of the hotel I was staying at.
I needed some cash, he said the store would give me $$ back on my Credit card.
First of all let me say, that does not happen. Only if you have a Discover card.
I told Lupe, that I wanted cash back on my purchase with my CC. She said, yes, OK no problem.
However, after ringing up my $ 30.00 purchase, and me paying with a visa she told me you can only get $$ back on a Discover card.
Gee, I wish you could of told me that prior.
Anyway, the staff is nice located throughout the store and outside. It is not the fault of the employees that this is how they roll.
All the food I bought was fresh and sale prices were good.
I do not have an Albertsons card, but was able to use someone else’s.
They at least were cool about that. No $$ off for having your own bag. A busy store though.
I don’t know why I just did not go to the bank to get some cash. They have all sorts around there… Guess I did not get enough coffee.

This is one of the smaller markets out of all the other markets in the South Bay.
Today picked up chili peppers and onions.
Profile picture on here needs to be updated, there is no BofA in here. That picture was taken years ago. There used to be a Starbucks in here too.
Like someone said here, there is a nice selection of alcohol here. Yum Yum, Blue Moon.
There is a recycling center here in the parking lot. Turn your cans in and get cash back from the market here.

Strange layout in this Albertsons, but the staff was polite and offered assistance.

I use to live down the block from here so I was a regular back in the days. The staff here are nice and the store is always in neat condition. I can’t say the same about the restroom but I’m not gonna rate the restroom since it’s not a restaurant type of establishment or is it. LoL. Just came here to get my fix of goodies for my little road trip. Mission accomplished with a smile !! Can’t ask for more since they are blocks from the beach :)

This was a close location to my Mom’s place and I went just a few times to pick up items we needed. Smaller than most, and others have said it can be pricey, but the sale items are worth the trip.
The flowers were quite lovely and the adult beverage section was good considering the size of the store. One nice thing about this location is the size of the isles… A person could have a party. Wide enough for three carts side by side… unusual these days and appreciated.

I got strawberry shortcake bars and stuff to make my tuna wraps. I got a can opener too.
Strawberry shortcake bars bring me back to my childhood.
Secret to my tuna mix– fresh squeezed lemons.
Where are my can openers? I’ve lost them to the monster that also likes my pens. No worries, I got it on sale for $ 5.

There’s a Red Box right in front!

It sucks!
1– Most things here are wayyy more expensive than ralphs/​walmart/​other grocery stores! examples: 4.99 peanut butter? 6dll icecream? and i could go on with a list of all the things this place overcharges for.
2-​Fruits n veggies section is small, but then again so is the store in general.
3-​Bakery isnt fresh.
4-​Only two self scan machines, regular lines have MOST of the times grumpy/​bad mood, not friendly cashiers!
5– Albertons reward card… Hmmmm whats the reward? im paying more to shop here than ralphs.

This Albertsons is smaller than most and is actually pretty expensive overall. Their selection is limited and the store layout leaves a lot to be desired with short offset aisles up front, then long aisles towards the back. So why the three stars? The one thing this Alberston’s does have is very good prices/​deals for meat and seafood. Even though the seafood and meat cases are fairly small they have quality meats and seafood and pretty good prices.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to such a sparkling clean grocery store. Mr. Clean is definitely in the house.

We lived near this Albertsons for 10 years and it was like our little neighborhood grocer. All of the employees knew me and my family members (by face, not name) and were very friendly.
We moved and we were closer to Ralphs, so I started going to Albertsons less and less. After the strike (how many years ago was that??), the store wasn’t the same. A lot of employees never came back and prices sky-​rocketed. They haven’t come back down.
I just went in earlier this month and saw the new remodel… looks like they’re trying to go fancy shmancy. I didn’t recognize any of the employees and they were crazy slow. I don’t think I’ll be back…

Quick & Dirty: I hate Albertsons. Yes Mom, I said HATE!
Long & Disappointed:
I don’t like Albertsons grocery stores… any of them, and here’s why…
Growing up in Lakewood we had a Vons nearby, then when I grew up and moved to Long Beach I shopped at Ralphs. Both of those places seem to understand what a grocery store should be which is easy, fresh, friendly, and clean. Alberstons is none of those and it’s run by a bunch of Monkeys, and not the funny kind that throw poop at people but the kind that rip your face off and eat your hands.
This Alberstons is especially funky and I don’t quite understand the floor plan. It’s like an effen M.C. Escher picture, I can never seem to find exactly what I’m looking for and I must backtrack at least three times to find what I need no matter how familiar I get with this place.
The help here isn’t very friendly at all. No one says «hello!» no one greets you, you barely ever see anyone smiling at all. Not to mention the lighting in here is like an effen operating room. Why so bright?! I mean WOW!
The one thing this store has for it is the Redbox in front. There really is no other reason to shop here, it’s L-​A-​M-​E lame like a retarded horse.
There is a REALLY nice Ralphs down the street as well as a Whole Foods and Bristol Farms. If you’re REALLY ambitious (which I rarely am) there is a farmers market every so often at the Redondo Beach Pier. Speaking of, THATS the place to get really fresh fish!
So skip this stupid store and go somewhere else where the people look happy to work there and you can find what you need!
Would I go here again? Only if I need something quick while I’m visiting the Redbox.
Should you go here? Nope. Go down the street to the nicer stores.
Buh-​bye!
