Grocery Advantage — Local services in Pensacola

This one is very small and they try to have everything, therefore the selections are limited and it's generally dirty. It was literally freezing in the store. IT'S JANUARY PEOPLE. TURN OFF THE A/C. The freezer section was warmer than the rest of the store. My fingers were getting numb by the time I checked out.

Also, some of the prices are definitely not cost +10%. They are more than at Publix (the higher-end grocery store in town) on their shelves. This means they are marking products up before they put them out to sell. They are NOT at cost. If Publix can make a profit on Jumbo Eggs at $4 and change, what does that say about this store's "at cost +10%" policy? Read down.

Example: 1 doz Jumbo Eggs were 6$ and change for here. I compared this to Publix on the same day. I refused to pay 6$ and change for 1 doz eggs. Publix had the same "store brand" eggs at full retail sale for 4$ and change. Still expensive, but this post-COVID-19 world we live in takes advantage of the rapidly increasing number of the less fortunate, and apparently, people who like eggs too.

They do have the 5 for $22.95 deal. Up from $19.99 just 6 months ago. The selection there is very small but they do include some meat. Don't look for beef of any kind, even ground, among their offerings. Also, they are scattered around in the meat department showcases to get you to browse. Do that! Browse. In some cases, you can get better prices and more quantity if you choose outside the pick 5 deal. I did.

Sometimes, at any Grocery Advantage I've been to, their Pick 5 Deal meats are bad on the shelf. Be VERY CAREFUL with any chicken and any pork. Food Poisoning is real and it hurts. As all sales are final, it's a waste of money.

Steer clear of this Grocery Advantage which is located at 1612 N Pace Blvd, Pensacola, FL 32505

While a good many of their prices are what they say, the basic staples such as: eggs, milk, bread, cheese, and coffee, are significantly more expensive than advertised.

Some of the people there are amazing. That goes a long way. But the majority of the employees are condescending or worse, ignore you.

Warning: If you choose to shop here be careful. Know your prices or this Grocery Advantage will take...

Never in my life have I had an EMPLOYEE FOLLIOW ME INTO THE PARKING LOT in FULL UNIFORM and try to PHYSICALLY ASSAULT ME!!! I understand this store isn't in the best area but people like that SHOULD NOT HAVE JOBS. Not only are you making yourself look terrible, um HELLO!? Did you forget you were at work? Did you forget you were being paid by a company to represent them? Did you forget YOU WERE BLASTING THEIR COMPANY LOGO ALL OVER THE PLACE ALONG WITH SHOWING YOUR BEHIND. I had a good friend who was a good person loose their job because they accidently posted a picture in company uniform on social media... but People who make decisions like that should be let go there are plenty of people without jobs that would never do something so air headed as well as dangerous. I know from personal experience as a clerk just following someone out of a store is grounds for termination even if they did something to warrant it.. like steal which i did not. There was 4 employees in the store and 6 people in line with 1 register open so I walked out and was complaing to my friend who was waiting for me outside and this 300 hundred pound lady comes running out the door and gets so close to my face I can smell her breath.. I am diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses and have a very severe form of ptsd so I had to remove myself from the situation however I am super disappointed with GROCCERY ADVANTAGE for having their employees behave this way the clerk ringing up was literally not ringing up everything and POCKETING PEOPLES MONEY I have never seen a business run like this in my life IS THERE NO MANAGEMENT HERE OR ARE THEY JUST AS CROOKED AS THE HELP??Please hire some...

Updating my original review. I bought a "bucket of chicken" pack here the other day. It included 4 thigh, 4 wing and 4 legs. Grilled the chicken, let it cook until it waa falling off the bone. The next day i woke up trembling, vomiting and fighting what i assumed was food poisoning from this chicken as i hadnt consumed anything else. Fast forward 4 days and im still sick but getting better. These 4 days have been the worst ive had in a long time. I have been unable to eat anything since and cant hold down liquid either. Id be really careful with products from here right now. I shop here regularly and never had any problems until now but like i said i consumed nothing else but this chicken. The food here is affordable bit i dont know if its worth getting as...
