Foodland IGA — Attraction in Juneau

I came in here this past Tuesday( Later on in the day.) and noticed that the yogurt that I wanted to purchase was about to expire in 4 days. Yet there was NOTHING to warn buyers of this. NOT on the product OR on the shelf anywhere! THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL. I brought this to the attention of the cashier. I can't remember his name. He was a heavyset guy with a low haircut( fade) and glasses, working the first registered to your left when you come into the store. He didn't seem to care at all and couldn't answer my question as to why was this on the shelf and why isn't there anything to let people know that it's about to expire! I also asked him if there were anyone here that was in charge of stocking that area and he said that he was only one there. So my question to management is WHY does this individual NOT know about the section that he is in charge of stocking? And why doesn't he care that there is food over there that's about to expire and no one would know about it when buying unless they read the labels like I do!?

*This same employee couldn't tell me a week or so ago why is it that my phone number attached to my discount card isn't working even though it was used the first day I got it( and DIDN'T bother trying to find out.) and it's now been probably at least 3 weeks since I first used my card. People like this don't deserve to have a job and sadly there usually picked over people who do!

Also, I noticed that the small freezer section you have of seafood that's supposed to be "fresh" not the ready to eat products is COMPLETELY COVERED in FROST BITE! There's NOOOO WAY that's okay to sale! And it's BEYOND DISGUSTING!😷😷😷😷

This store is TOO EXPENSIVE to be having these sort of issues and I will NOT be...

Updated 2025.01.08 Foodland IGA located downtown, a smaller supermarket chain is more expensive than Fred Meyer out by Mendenhall area. One of the main attractions is their salad bar, currently at USD 9.99 per pound, along with two soups daily for the lunch crowd. If you like a fresh salad, but don't want the hassle of buying, preparing all the things that goes into making up a salad, their salad bar makes it convenient, for a price.

There's also a deli for hot and cold items, such as sandwiches, sushi, fried chicken, though the chicken tends to be overcooked and dry, especially when left by the heat lamps. There are fresh breads, croissants. Cyrus O'Leary Pies are available.

The prices of groceries keeps going up. Best to plan ahead of what you need to get, buy items with minimum processing as you pay more for items that are more processed. Buy bulk potatoes as opposed to packaged food products. Buying raw eggs are cheaper than meats. Buy steel cut oatmeal instead of packaged cereals. Buy fresh fruits as opposed to processed desserts. Buy just enough to consume in a reasonable time without it going bad. Eat healthy, eat...
