United Grocery Outlet — Local services in Alcoa

Went in to see what's available here as grocery prices are still climbing. They have a large selection of items. Brand names as well as localized brands from other areas of the country. For example I seen Fannie May candies and Jay's potato chips from Chicago. They have produce, meats, dairy, snacks, cereal, drug store items, laundry stuff, shampoo & soap, frozen items, TP & paper towels, stationary items, and pretty much everything you'd find in a big grocery store.

I was not even sure if this was the manager, I had to ask as she did not have proper uniform on nor a name tag. LeAnn was no help and belittles her customers and did not even want to talk about it. It was a...

I shop here regularly, watch expiration dates, but I can buy (almost) enough healthy food for a family of 6 for about $150 to last all week.

I need to go to other places and spend a small amount more for things like Very Vanilla Soy milk, NonDairy Ice Cream and personal toiletries, also their cereal prices are often really high for a discount store, but over all it's an inexpensive and friendly place to shop in Alcoa and one of my favorite grocery stores.

Be warned, the building is old and hardly looks like a Publix, Kroger or Ingles but, it's worth the sacrifice on luxury shopping and saves me an average of about $50-100 on my...
