Randy's BiLo — Local services in Windber

Randy's has ready-cooked items, which saves some time cooking. Great rotisserie and fried chicken. If you're in Windber, ready for fishing or a long ride to another area, it's really helpful. The fruits are excellent. Regular grocery shopping can be done as well. The bakery is great! The variety of breads in the bakery is really a high variety for such a small store. The other baked items, what can I say? It's so easy to buy a few items, put them on a platter and you have a tray for a business meeting. The little secret in this store are the spices. Their prices are the lowest, they make some of their own combos, which are great. The spice section with the large containers is just great if you cook something frequently at home or church dinners. As long as they keep those prices and the quantity in stock, you walk out feeling like you won a small lottery. There is clearly marked parking for van and wheelchair accessibility. You can ask anyone for help and they do it with a smile. There is an emergency restroom, but not wheelchair accessible. They don't really have a customer restroom, but in an emergency, they allow you to use the employees. It's just a kindness they can provide. It's pretty easy to find most items and walk out pretty quickly. Randy's also helps the elderly in our community. It's easy for them to get in and out, the aisles are nice and wide and they offer a senior discount on Wednesdays. Without this little nearby store, those who take the senior can or walk would have a more difficult time...

I won't be shopping this store anymore because I am not smart or careful enough. I am tired of being taken by their 'tricky' advertising. Not deceitful, but "tricky". The latest episode: Prego pasta sauce 3 for $7. I know the ad says "select varieties". I saw that. So I bought 3 jars. 2 Italian Sausage and Garlic and one Sweet Sausage and Roasted Peppers. Wouldn't you know that the Sweet Sausage and Roasted Peppers jar was not one of the "select varieties", even though it was shelved right next to the Italian Sausage and Garlic. So I was charged $3.79 and my so called savings went out the window. THis is what I call tricky advertising, This is four times now in as many months this has happened to me. I know it's MY fault. I guess I should have asked at the service desk first or looked more closely at the exact sale sticker for the precise name of the sauce on sale, but you know what? That's borderline tedious. I want to support the local store, but I think I will shop stores where ALL Prego, Libbys, San Georgio, Frito Lay, etc., or any brand is on sale, not...

I am sorry but the quality is not up to par. Produce ugh. Carrots soft after a few days. Frozen items taste like frozen over and over. Meat is is not great unless you buy their top of the line. Chicken wings taste like roasting chicken not frying. Had a special on green beans in cans. Cans were dented and very hard to open. Damaged. They are like the Ollie's of food. The deli is always good. The meat is sometimes good hit and miss. Produce is always 2nd class but good enough if you are going to use it the same day or next. Canned food is fine. Walmart is actually way better. Sorry Randy's. Your employees are awesome however. Some of them. You are better than the other buy low groceries in this area. I will give you that. I will not buy Produce from you unless its an...
