Grocery Outlet — Local services in Ontario

Exhilarating, I sat in the truck with my dog, while the wife went in. I've been inside a time or two it's a good deal and good employees. They got rid of the only sour puss employee who didn't have time to answer a product location question. 8/8/23 update - We go every two weeks, this is the fifth time in a row we have walked out with basically nothing. Their stock is reliant on overstocks and near expiration dates of products so things we may want won't be there consistently, the only down side. 12/8/23 called store on the 7th of Dec. about an item to be on sale according to the on-line flyer. (which really doesn't fly but that's another story) The employee on the phine said the item would be in on Friday the 8th and available. So we go in, in the PM on Friday the 8th and after browsing a couple other items we make our way to the canned seafood aisle to pick up some of the sardines listed for $0.48 a can. The aisle is crammed with boxes yet there is no display for said sardines. We asked an employee that was still stocking the aisle, he says they must be sold out. We don't say anything but the evidence is clear that the product never showed up or worse. Why would a store advertise a product at a sale price without having it physically present somewhere in the store? Fittingly we didn't find the other two products we previously looked for nor did a parusal of the aisles produce a sale in our case. My wife has emailed management and we await the verdict, I suspect Covid 19, voter registration, extended vehicle warranties or the Chinese are suspect for the short coming. Update 2/13/24 - Another trip today, found the previously missing product in good supply and bought some. They have upgtaded their check out stands, very nice upgrade. As always the checkout...

I had a nice experience at Grocery Outlet Bargain Market on SW 4th Avenue in Ontario. Several months ago I bought a juice drink that was new to me called AloeVita. It is delicious, satisfying has zero calories and no fat. Back when I was battling Hepatitis C I added 15 or 20 pounds of weight in case I got sick and needed it to sustain me through recovery. Now it is just fat in the wrong place and I am shedding it. Changing my eating habits has been a problem. I am a Continental cook and if it ain't got sauce it is wrong. I still make that stuff but now eat very modest portions. But, no more bowls of candy, milkshakes, gooey pastries whenever I felt like it. But I needed something wonderful to make up for my deprivation and the AloeVita drinks fill the bill perfectly. I like shopping at the Grocery Outlet any way but their service in special ordering my nutritious treat was kind as well as good business. They do a good job and is family run with support of a very good staff. I recommend that my local friends shop there and help them to...

5 Stars – The Treasure Hunt of Groceries

Grocery Outlet is like the Vegas of grocery shopping—you walk in with no idea what you’re gonna find, but you leave feeling like you hit the jackpot.

One day, it’s name-brand snacks at wild discounts. The next, it’s some fancy imported cheese you’ve never heard of but now can’t live without. And don’t even get me started on the random-but-amazing finds—gourmet ice cream for half price? A whole case of protein bars I didn’t know I needed? 100 Grand ice cream bars?! Yeah, it’s that kind of store.

Sure, the inventory changes all the time, but that’s part of the thrill. And the prices? So good it feels illegal.

Bottom line: If you love bargains, surprises, and the occasional impulse buy you’ll definitely justify later, Grocery Outlet is the place to be. 5 stars—long live the...
