Grocery Outlet — Local services in Visalia

As a professional shopper, LOL I can say that this is my favorite supermarket to go heavy shopping!! The stores are always well stocked very clean and comfortable to shopping compared to others. I personally like many people I know like the different cheese selections available. I appreciate on shopping where I know I am saving money!! I think the only thing that they lack is a great produce department. It's not bad, it's just not as good as the major supermarkets. But everything else is most excellent in my opinion. And I love seeing how much I saved on the receipt, it's not always exactly accurate but it's exactly a lot!!!! A variety of items suits me well. It may not be that way for others but I actually look forward to shopping at grocery outlet each month if they were closer to my residence I would probably visit more often! They are truly the Bargain...

They source their inventory based on what is overstocked locally. Say Campbell's sends a truck to Visalia full of chicken soup. Food 4 Less buys some and so does save mart but there is still ¼of a truckload left over. Either Campbell's can pay the truck to bring it back. Costing them money. Or they can sell it at a reduced rate to get rid of it. Costing them their profits but at least they recoup the cost of making the stuff. Grocery outlet Specializes in finding those kind of situations, so It's the same food as any other store. Nothing wrong with it whatsoever, it's just oversupply, that's how grocery outlet can offer much lower prices than others. The downside being that your never sure what they will have because not everything stays overstocked every time. Btw find GREAT deals on booze here often. Like, half price...

Very disappointed with the attitude of the cashier and another employee. I was told that all the employees were busy and couldn’t do a cart run (there were no carts in front of the store and as far as the eye could see). I got one from a lady who was emptying her cart. Secondly, I’m use to friendly cashiers and I got a non verbal grumpy person who didn’t even bother to tell me my savings, so I told her what they were….lol. Maybe it’s the weather…maybe it’s something going on personally with the employees. Who knows. Gone are the days of good...
