Grocery Outlet — Attraction in Davis

One of my favorite shops, maybe even my top favorite. And probably the only grocery store In Davis where you can shop yourself rich.

Recently bought wine, originally priced $65 a bottle (!), Grocery Outlet Bargain Market selling them for $9.99 a bottle. I looked it up, too, original price really is that high. And I tasted the quality too: an extremely pure red wine, not giving headaches in the morn' or discolored lips and tongue. Thanks to GOBM getting a chance to learn more about wines, because they always vary and always have wines that were originally priced at a much higher level!

So very pleased. I do this all the time, and often end up saving over $100 per shopping trip. And yes, this really is a true saving price. But you have to go out exploring, look at their price tags and maybe even keep your cell at hand, to check on Google shopping what...

Worst Grocery Outlet I've ever been to. We moved to Davis about 6 months ago and tried this store a few times. So-so selection of groceries and the checker in aisle 1 is the most rude person ever.

Then she wanted to charge me for plastic bags, even though I'm using EBT. No one else charges for plastic bags with EBT. She was real snotty with my boyfriend and me. The last time we checked out, and we only went in her line because it was empty, she accused me of stealing. Telling me to lift up my jacket off my walker, "to see if I missed anything". The nerve! That was IT! I told my boyfriend I was done, picked up my jacket (nothing was underneath), and walked out. We will NEVER set foot in that...

It took me years to appreciate what grocery outlet is and isn't. Once you learn how to use grocery outlet as your primary grocery store, it's hard to beat.

They have very reasonable prices, and terrific food options as long as you are not looking for a very specific thing. When shopping, you need to have pretty general needs, like you need breakfast cereal, rather than needing fruit loops. Or a nut butter, rather than a specific peanut butter brand.

We've found it's best to pair grocery outlet with a CSA box. Between the two, we seldom need to shop elsewhere, and are able to make and eat extremely healthy and affordable food. If you are looking for produce, you're likely better using the nugget or co-op, as grocery outlet produce can be...
