FYI Always watch the prices you are being charged !!! They do not mark the sale or clearance prices . They do not call out prices as they are ringing up items. The receipts are not marked with the item name to I.D. later. I have been overcharged multiple times and yesterday I pissed off the cashier clerk when I told her the peanut butter was $1.00 on clearance per the sign. She said no it's marked $1.48 I told her let me show you the sign and she ignored me and when I got back she then went to look herself . I told her they need to start marking the product, She said they , being a small business could not afford to do that !! after all they were not Publix or Winn Dixie. She was pissed because I told her I am tired of being overcharged !! Do you really expect every cashier to remember the lowered prices when they are not marked !! No not possible !! I did call the mgr. in on this one and his pathetic excuse was the clerk had been on vacation and wasn't familiar with the reduced or sale prices !! So, that only tells me everyone she had rang up that day could have very well been overcharged just as I was . I will find the county or state agency that covers this kind of sloppy work and see if anything can be done , in the meantime I suggest you keep a close eye on this !! I know most of the cashiers do their very best but there is always that one that could not care less and just don't have the good sense to see the repercussions of sloppy work.. I have shopped there many years but you get kind of sick at this blatant disregard for a customer and I will not ever spend another dime there ... I have had to go back for as much a a $6.00 overcharge and it is not an uncommon thing. So !! Just check as you are being totaled out and let them know to very simply " do things right " !! Watch your prices and make them do the job right or get out of...

This place is fun, if you think of it like a garage sale for food. You can find a treasure for a song, or you can pay a little less than what you'd pay in a store.

If they have a lot of something, it will be very cheap. If you want to save money, grab a big box and stock up with sale items.

Whatever doesn't sell well at a regular grocery store, ends up here. So there are odd flavors, gourmet items and old items as well as familiar ones. If it's organic, without preservatives, watch the expiration dates. I find it great for granola bars- packed with sugar, they never truly get old, so paying fifty cents a box for some that are a month too old is fine. They taste the same for a year after "sell by" date. I also find it a great place for crackers, chocolate and cereal.

Don't buy any dented cans!

New products that haven't been picked up yet by the regular grocery stores are often at Sacks as well. Gluten free items came there first, long before they were common at every grocery store. Whole grain products were there first too. You can see which trends are coming to your regular grocery store and which are leaving. Rather than throwing it out, the unsold food is here.

It's a great place if you like Big Lots or flea markets or want to stretch your budget.

If you are squeamish or prissy, stay away.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. It's not like most stores that have one or two friendly employees. The entire staff has a great attitude and the last time I was there, they were playing...

All the lower-star reviewers seem to be out of touch with the purpose of this store, if you want boxes of cereal or pancake mix for ⅓ of grocery store prices, this is your spot! They have most things your local grocer would carry, some deals are crazier than others depending on the current state of the market. As a LIQUIDATOR they may be getting rid of products in damaged (but still safely sealed) packaging, or non-perishable products that are close to or recently passed their "best by" date (but not spoiled). If you're on a budget there's no other store in town that's truly comparable to this place. The frozen meat section has a surprising amount of variety, too. Last time I went my friend scored 10lb of pork for $10. He described it as a "home run". As for the aisles being "messy" or "filled with boxes" the only way for them to provide the best deals is to minimize warehousing and labor costs, by accepting a compact store layout and digging through the surplus bins yourself you're able to get the best deals possible. The employees keep the place clean and organized, I think people just see the "clutter" and think "dirty". Remember, everything is clearance, so most shelves and gaylords have to be shared among a variety of "similar" products.
