Grocery Outlet, Bargain Market

To me, it's like everyone should know about Grocery Outlet. I've been shopping there since it first opened up in our neighborhood with my mom. But then I thought, maybe not everyone knows about Grocery Outlet.

Here is a company overview directly from their website:

"Grocery Outlet has been a tradition for bargain-seeking customers since 1946. The company’s reputation as a deep-discount store began when the late Jim Read began purchasing military surplus back in the 1940s and sold it at huge discounts.

Today, Grocery Outlet is a third-generation family run business, recognized as the nation’s largest grocery extreme-value retailer. Headquartered in Berkeley, California, Grocery Outlet currently encompasses 185+ independently operated stores in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Pennsylvania. Grocery Outlets are located in cities large and small and serve all kinds of neighborhoods. Most stores are independently operated by locally-based families. We are truly a family business.

The premise is simple: We offer brand name products at up to 50% off conventional retail prices. Our offering is wide: groceries, frozen, deli & refrigerated, produce, fresh meat, general merchandise — seasonal products, housewares, toys, and gifts — health & beauty, and a most impressive inventory of beer & wine. Our buyers shop the nation and the world by traveling thousands of miles each year just so we can offer the best brand-named products for less than you would pay conventionally. We love to save you money."

I know ours in our city is family ran. You see the same faces, lots of young adults get hired as their first job. They want to make sure that you know your business is important.

I did try couponing for a little bit, but when I compared, for the stuff I need, it made more sense for me to go to Grocery Outlet.

I feel like I won over the big guys when I find the same product at Grocery Outlet for $1.00, when it might be almost $4.00 some where else. I always thought just our locals shopped here, but when I saw people I knew from the more well off cities shopping in our little Grocery Outlet, I thought, "Oh! the secrets out!" But then some people come just for the wine and liquor selection.

So if you haven't checked on out, go in and browse around. Ours was just newly renovated and there is a new one going up in the neighboring city. You know I will be checking that out.

Happy saving all!
