Grocery Outlet — Local services in The Dalles

I have been shopping exclusively at Grocery Outlet for the last 7 years. I occasionally can't get a particular item, but all the basics are always available. And it's an adventure each trip with all the new brands and items that come in, some very exotic, and all at such an affordable price. With careful shopping, I often end up with as much savings as I spent on actual groceries! That's $200 worth of groceries for around $100. The staff gets to know you over time and you feel like you're part of a special "community" when you shop there. The owners are frequently out on the floor engaged in the day-to-day operations at the store. They have recently expanded their produce department to include LOTS of the new "power greens" and more exotic fruits; also a lot of organics, not only in the produce, but there are whole aisles of "NOSH" products for those of you who are into clean eating.

I swear by Grocery Outlet. I eat way better than my budget would allow if I were shopping at Fred Meyer or Safeway. And the quality is always reliable.

I'm no longer a wine drinker, but for those of you who enjoy your wine they have FANTASTIC deals on some VERY good wines, also.

I can't say enough good stuff about this store. There are Grocery Outlets all over, and I've shopped at many of them at one time or another, but The Dalles Grocery Outlet is really a 5-star store -- because the owners see to it that it...

I LOVE The Dalles Grocery Outlet Store. This store is a really awesome place & the store manager is very nice & helpfull. You can get great deals on meats, vegetables, cheeses, breads, wines, eggs, medicines & vitamins, clothes, shoes, household items, pots & pans, soups, electronic items, gardening items, bathroom items, dog & cat foods, noodles & baking items, plus more specials that come into the store. It is a great place to go to for unique deals. The people there are friendly & helpfull. The bathroom is very helpful when you are shopping for long periods of time or have small children. The bathrooms have changing tables for babies & handicapped bathroom stalls for disabled people, which is very helpful. You can also take your recycling cans into Grocery Outlet Store & they will hand count all of them for you. They give you a ticket of how much you get paid for your cans & you can go thru the check stand to get paid for your cans. Also there is 3 chairs by the front door you can sit at to wait for your pick up from the Link bus or taxi service. It is awesome, so important, & helpfull when you can't stand very long. This is a great place to shop at & save money on your food budget for big families. Great deals, great bargains, great people, & great prices on many different items & selections. New...

I usually stop here if I have time, on my way from Hermiston to Portland. They can have some phenomenal deals, sometimes, if you're not obsessed with "expiration dates". They may have something about to expire or already expired by a day or two, but the product is STILL GOOD and they will mark it down AMAZINGLY!

For example, the last time I stopped, they had full size bags of Takis 3/$.97. My grandson LOVES those!! They also had bags of "Muddy Buddy" pretzels 3/$.99. These may have been past their expiration date by a couple of days.

We ALL know (or SHOULD) things aren't ONLY good UNTIL the expiration date and then they go IMMEDIATELY BAD!!! LOL!! There's ALMOST ALWAYS a leeway of a few days/weeks/months, etc., depending in the product.

I bought a Victor's box of 80 count seasonal coffee k-cups for $16.99. It had four different seasonal flavors. THAT'S A GOOD BUY and it WASN'T something past it's expiration date. It was good to 2023.

I've been stopping here for YEARS and MOST of the time I find...
