Sweeney's Market — Local services in Town of Owego

Sadly, I can't go back after seeing the state of the meat department on 08/12/22. There were a few sales advertised this week and I thought it would be a great time to bulk buy and freeze. There was quite a bit of pork and beef that had been prepared in July, and had a sell by date of 08/10/22. There was plenty of gray sausages, and meat that had been prepared for sale AFTER the sell by date of what was on display.

For a place that had "Specializes in Meats" on their billboard, to be in that state, I had NO interest in whatever they didn't specialize in, and left immediately. I understand at 6:30pm on a Friday things will be a bit disheveled, but meat on the shelf THAT old, was sickening.

Such a shame, because I've purchased meat from them happily since coming to town this year. It's incredibly sad when a local butcher has given up and can't even check their own expiration dates, for meat they prepared for sale themselves. I wouldn't in good conscience encourage ANYONE to go until there has been a serious retool of their entire...

To all shoppers, please heed my advice: Make sure you check expiration date of EVERY grocery you buy BEFORE you pay, as they will accuse you of robbing the store for dollars and pennies.

It says "google user", but I am a frequent shopper and live at tioga terrace for years now.

I came to get a refund on a expired dairy product they sold, over 2 months beyond expired date.

I didn't even receive an "I'm sorry for selling you the expired product". Only accusation/question I received was "did you eat it?" NO I didn't because I put it in a smoothie for my child to eat and threw away the whole thing because of YOUR EXPIRED PRODUCT.

Only reason why I didn't throw the yogurt at the counter and shouted out was because I will be looked at as the "typical insert race,gender,age here customer".

I am all for small business, but if they sell expired products and ACCUSE ME for stealing them for chump change with not even decency for an apology, I will rather spend my money elsewhere.

What a...

Went there today for the first time in a long time on a friday at 520 PM. Went after a recomendation from a friend for meat curing supplies. Place was not very busy which i mention because the bald manager was abrupt and rude about showing up before 5 for those supplies. I explained that there was no mention of this online or any way to know this before showing up including the call i placed before i traveled with children to go there. The young lady at the meat counter was pleasant and agreed to help me given the situation and was immediately repremanded by this manager following his snippy manner dealing with me. I will find another business to deal with in the future and i do not recommend them as a business as a result. There were better ways to handle this and a simple polite mention of the rules would have sufficed. This was...
