I’ve been buying meat and gas here for years… like probably at least 7 or 8 years… my family lives close by and they also buy meat here… up until recently this has been my favorite choice to get meat… the last two times I’ve bought chicken here (I do buy in bulk)… I’ve been super disappointed… if it’s in shelf packaging or bulk packaging… this is now the third time I’ve bought chicken and before the due date I’ve pulled it all out of the fridge to cut and package it up for freezing… I usually buy in bulk bags and get a better deal but one time they didn’t have the bulk bags so I just bought a handful of their shelf packages… it sits in my fridge for a day or two (but still well within the date pictures below)… and immediately upon opening the bag I get hit in the face with sour pungent odor .. I’m leaving this post here today as evidence that it was done before the due date and the next time I walk into this place I’ll update this post to their response… but their closed today so no way to call and voice my frustration… generally I am very understanding and if you make it right I give lots of grace… but it’s over $100 now in chicken that I have to throw away… all because it’s packaged and labeled wrong or it’s not stored properly behind the counter but they put it out anyways and slap a label on it and call it good. I’m about to open up the beef ribeye and I have never had a problem with beef.. I love their hotdogs and again used to love everything about this place… but this is the end of me just throwing it away and hoping it’s different next time… Edit for updated response from staff; Asked for the pictures and was promptly provided with new chicken, technically more than in originally bought. Cut and repacked the chicken the next day and didn’t have any issues. Must have just gotten a bad batch… I appreciate how quick and simple they made the exchange even though I was at a distance and had to work through the phone originally...
Read moreI was so impressed by this particular business, that I didn't really feel like I could have done it the justice that it truly deserved without having the accompanying pictures to go along with my review. So I turned around today and drove right back up there and purchased 4 one inch rib eyes for the Memorial day weekend. Let's begin with the exterior aspect of the business first. Please be careful turning in, as there are 2 gas pumps in front of the business. A little farther down is the LED sign and the mailbox. There is much more room to turn in on that end and there are 4 more gas pumps on this end. Stepping into Shop n Save is akin to having traveled backwards in time when you are looking in one direction and then turning the other way and are confronted by the most modern conveniences that you can expect to see in a store. I spent approximately 1hour there today and around 30 minutes yesterday. And I have got to say that, what makes it all work and pulls everything completely together...is the STAFF. Friendly, polite and professional are just a few of the nouns and adjectives that I can use to describe the staff and their interactions with each and every customer. Did I mention that this business was absolutely immaculate, except for where I drooled on the display cases...only 1/2 kidding. All of the homemade jams, jellies, sauces and rubs. The honey, the abundance of freshly picked fruits and vegetables. Then you have the fantastic display cases, that are filled with seafood, pork, chicken and beef. Every single and/or special orders cut to your exact specifications. It's absolutely worth the drive. And this specific review is perfectly timed for this Memorial Day Weekend. But please remember what Memorial is... A remembrance of all of the Veteran's, both men and women who have paid the ultimate price. "All gave some, some gave all".

Read moreI have been coming to shop and save for over 10 years now. I came for the family owned support and the friendly attitudes and the great customer service. I never bought my meat anywhere else. After today, I will never return. The horrible, unfriendly attitude we received from the young blonde kid behind the meat counter was too much for us to let go. I don't expect cartwheels from doing business there. But when you act like we are bothering you because we came in to buy good cuts of meat, that tells me everything I need to know about what to expect from any future shopping at this business. Teach your employees some manners please. We will never spend another penny here and I will recommend to everyone I can think of to...
