This place is big so you have good selection but the layout leaves me constantly wandering around as the aisles are long and split down the middle. Produce can be spotty and it seems like a good day to go is Monday when things are fresh. My main complaint here is price. I think that Safeway gives you a better bang for your buck especially if you are using their online coupons. There are never a lot of lanes open so you end up using self checkout which inevitably leaves you asking for a managers help– annoying.

I noticed this place is pricey and that 98% of what they sell are regular, full retail prices. No value, no nothing. Not doing me any favors.

Just came here to get some beer for a BBQ party at my friends house. Was impressed with the selection they had in the corner of the store

This is one of the classier Save Marts I’ve visited. I dropped by with a couple family members on Thanksgiving morning. We were looking for a large-enough pan to hold the gigantic turkey we were going to cook later that evening. We were surprised to find a gigantic aisle with all sorts of cooking utensils. The entire store is super clean, and the produce looked decent. I don’t live in the area, but if I did I’d likely come here for groceries!

Today I tried the Sandwiches from the Save Mart deli section. What I enjoyed about the sandwich was how much food they give for the price. It is definitely a fantastic choice if you are on the go and need a quick sandwich.

I live closer to Safeway, but sometimes it’s a little more convenient to come over to this Save Mart if I happen to be shopping at Target or Petsmart. The deli crew here is very friendly. They’re happy to provide you with a sample of anything they have in the deli case. My main issue is with the checkers here. There are a few who are very friendly, but the overall vibe I get whenever I shop there is that everyone is miserable and they all hate their jobs. It just makes me uncomfortable. I really don’t like the way the store is laid out. I’ve been here dozens of times, but it seems like I can never find what I need. Rather than having aisles that run the entire length of the store, the aisles are split in half, so the signage only indicates what’s on part of the aisle. Like I said, sometimes it’s just more convenient to stop here than Safeway, but I really wish I could find a supermarket with stellar customer service in the area.

This store has a great location, near target and costco. Nice and convinent. I usually go to safeway, but I recently started going here due to the convinence. They have great prices and its usually a quick in and out shopping experience. The lines are not long and they have self check out stations for those who only have a few items. The store is clean and well kept. Staff is friendly! They have great sales.

I’d rather shop at Safeway but if I’m running errands at Costco and Target then this Save Mart can be convenient.

I’m not a big fan of this store for several reasons: 1) There are never any hand baskets by the door to pick up on your way in. 2) The shopping carts always have trash and debris in them. 3) The lines are almost always backed up. 4) The prices are EXPENSIVE. Especially on produce. You would assume because it is a large store the prices would be reasonable –not so at all. 5) Their breads are usually expired or nearing expiration. Unless you plan on eating your entire loaf of bread in 2 days then you shouldn’t get it here. 6) Their produce is downright terrible. I’ve never gotten any peaches that were edible or oranges that didn’t require a laser-guided missile to peel.

All Purpose Market! Nice variety of goods at reasonable prices. Great location in Sand City, next to highway #1 with a huge parking lot. Nice deli and bakery, however my favorite is the seafood counter. They have cooked Maine lobsters at $ 10.00/lb and cooked crab. Sounds like a picnic at the beach is forming. =) Happy 4th of July!
