Edwards Cash Saver — Local services in North Little Rock

This location was organized, neat, and clean. It was refreshing to find items sold here that you wouldn’t normally find in other grocery stores. Their selection of fresh fruit and vegetables was also a bonus. Prices are amazing on some items and a little bit pricey on others (so make sure to do your research first). The pick 5 meats for $19.99 is great, especially for family on a budget or in general in this economy. However, my last visit proved disappointing. The meat section for the pick 5 deal looked old and not safe to eat. The chicken thighs had an in unknown substance on almost everyone. They were also browning and discolored like they were way past the sell/use by date. The chicken breast cuts included a lot of fat and veins. All the steak products were so small and thinly sliced. In the “non-sale” meat section, they had frozen ribs wrapped in plastic that was ripped in places, exposing the meat to whoever, or whatever touched. While picking up a package of meat, it was filled with blood that had dripped all over me and the area it was sitting in. Regardless of me taking the effort to double bag it, so it wouldn’t leak while I finished shopping, at checkout the blood spilled all over the conveyer belt. The only thing that made that situation tolerable was the sweet cashier who was checking me out. She was so nice and polite about the blood being everywhere, which made me want to make sure I left her register cleaner than when I got there. I’ve never experienced an employee here that wasn’t helpful or polite. I will be going back but probably to a different location to see if I have better luck elsewhere. Overall, it is a decent grocery store for most...

If you would have asked me to rate Edwards a couple weeks ago not only would I have gave it five stars but would go on about Edward's commitment to feeding the working man and his family. How Edwards only place around that offers meat by bulk, beef and swine. Its not ground beef either but steak and brisket. Two fat ( pork ) butts in one pack and ribs by the two for the one money. Been spreading the word of Edwards good deeds. As with all good things must come to an end. Some weeks back noticed the cuts changed. This is not sliced as is the way I want it, one large chunk. Now It appears ( steaks ) to be machine cut. Now buying bulk is one large sum but cost less per pound. When went last week shopping could not believe may eyes when the price per pack had been raised by $30. That's right for around seven pounds went from $70 to $100. There was not a single pack for less than $102 and it was a very thin pack. The one I ended up getting was $125 for 7.27 pounds in which when I cut it up I got 15 - 3/4 inch ribeye steaks. Im not singing their praises so much now.

• EDIT* Edwards must have read my review along with the thousand folks because the last two times in their store the prices on the bulk meat has dropped back down somewhat. As the weight of the meat is different it is hard to say that back to the same but much less that was at time of original post. Thank...

I don't know why they started this 10% interest stuff, but I really wish they would get rid of it. They have you thinking that your getting a discount on your food, but that's a lie I spent $150 on just meat alone and ended up having to pay $170 once I slid my card to pay for my food. See they got slick on us they used to let you see the 10% interest after they total up your food, but now it pops up once you pay for the food, and that's not fair. If the machine says 150 then it should be just that n if they gonna add the 10 then you should see it once your order is total out not when you get the receipt. I did a price comparison at another food store of the same name, but they don't do the 10% interest and I made sure that I bought the same thing at that store and when I left that store I paid just what I was supposed to $150. It's a shame I have to go all the way to Southwest now just to shop at a cheaper store for meat. I wouldn't dare go to Walmart or Kroger's for meat they're just to high when it comes to that, but everything else I would n do. So until they take that extra 10% off my ratings for this store is definitely gonna...
