Lack consistency. I liked the sandwich tray I ordered a while ago so I reordered it. End up with different bread that made the sandwich so plain. It was like a chore eating it. I could only eat one piece each meal. Will never order this tray again since I won't know what I end up with. read more

Albertsons - $50 for 18 pieces that range from 2-4 inches. Taste good but not worth it - Grocery Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

See all

I like this store. Glad it's still around. It's quick and convenient for me and all staff is usually very pleasant

The old Albertsons is all right. For me the problem areas are the meat section and check out. I prefer to go to the newer Albertson's on south end of town as the meat at the Albertsons at the north end of town does not usually look good. Most of the time there is meat out that has discoloration see attached photo of ground beef expiration date June 09. Photo was taken June 9. I understand that beef can have discoloration at times but I see this problem more often at Thai store, with other meat as-well. Personally it's gross so I just go to the other store. The biggest problem is checking out with an Alta One bank account. The system for some reason declines my card Every other time I go to Albertsons, today it was declined six times, even after I entered my pin, and it appeared to process three times. I confirmed my account has more then enough funds for my purchase. I am grateful that I am able to have an alternate bank account, to pay for my groceries. I have never had this problem at any other store but Albertsons. read more

Albertsons - Ground beef. Photo was taken June 09 - Grocery Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

If you put the store into perspective-- it's obviously an older, smaller store, and in a desert community-- it's not so bad. There is a newer, larger Albertsons on the other end of town. Overall, the prices are high here at this smaller, older Albertsons, but there are bargains if you look for sale items. Last time I shopped here, last week, there was a shopping cart full of white wine with a label from a good California winery and at 50% discount. I bought a bottle since I liked that winery and it turned out to be good wine. Nothing wrong with it. I don't know why it was 50% off. Some pricing on select items goes like this-- a certain brand of ice cream in a certain size is regularly $7+ here at this Albertsons but today is ON SALE for $3.87. But the exact same ice cream is always $3.87 at Walmart. I guess if you live near this Albertsons and don't want to drive to Walmart you will pay the higher regular prices or buy sale items. The clerk was very nice and a real person when I checked out. I read some reviews here that said Stater Brothers store is cheaper. I disagree. Stater Brothers has very high prices, often double what the exact item costs at Walmart. For example, bakery items such as cupcakes in a package are $7 which twice the price for the exact same thing at Walmart. Once I went into Stater Brothers in the early morning and there were shopping carts filled with loaves of packaged bread priced at .25 cents each. The store has high overall prices with extreme bargains. Also the check out clerks at Stater Brothers are nasty and mean if you are not a regular customer or if you just buy a couple of items. read more

Albertsons is a decent grocery store. Usually clean and orderly. The staff are normally friendly. The parking lot normally has plenty of parking near the door. However, the prices are very high. You can buy the same groceries at Stater Brothers for a fraction of the price. If I only have a couple things to grab and short on time I'll stop here to save a few minutes. Otherwise I shop at Stater Brothers to save the money $$. read more

Bring your coupons! They really do have great deals. Make sure you use your preferred card because you might get a discount on gas at their location by College Heights. Plus - at the end of the day, the flowers are marked down...an economical way to add a nice pop of color to your home. Considering everything in Ridgecrest is so brown, my mom likes to keep our home filled with flowers. Albertsons has a decent selection. read more

Standard well stocked, clean, friendly, supermarket. Nothing amazing, but nothing terribly wrong with it. Things are reasonably priced, or maybe just a tad above average I think, but it's all pretty much worth it. Small but comprehensive selection of Latin and Asian products. Seafood department is what you'd expect in the middle of the desert, everything's pre-frozen except for maybe live clams. The only thing I don't like is the strangely configured and worn out parking lot. The inside configuration is a little weird too, there's a little out of the way part of the store between the checkout stands and the breads, that has some very essential things like batteries, and since it's sort of after the checkout lines, anyone who comes in from the side entrance would miss it. The carousel type checkout is a rare sight these days, maybe having the conveyor belt type would be a little more efficient, but this does not detract from the overall experience of shopping at Albertsons. read more

My daughter went to Albertsons grocery store . And she had food stamps . Well she was shopping and all of a sudden there was this guy trying to get her to sell our food stamps to him . And my daughter said no I don't do that he kept following her trying to get her to do it and finally she went to the front of the store where you check out at .she told them that he was following her and all the said was he's not following you now and that's all they did .they didn't even go look for that man and he was in the store when they said quote (he's not following you now of course not she went up there to tell yall and yell acted like you didn't event care what is wrong with you people I wouldn't want someone working for me that can't take care of customers in the store and make sure there's not a stalker in your store watching and waiting for the right moment to strike what if it was someone you love dearly and the same thing happened to your loved one would you say they are not following you now or would you go look for that stalker person read more

My Albertsons family :) love you guys! This store may not be the biggest of its kind, but it has the biggest hearts serving you every day!

Their service has fallen off lately, especially if you need lobby service. They'll leave you standing, unacknowledged, then finally tell you to come through the line after several other people have got into it with carts full of groceries. I have worked retail and this is unacceptable once, let alone the last few times I've been there. I can go to Staters or new Albertsons. This time, I just left, rather than waste my time and money. Get with it, people! read more

Paul, what you did for me worked great for a short time, but, sorry to say it is back to what it was before, 30 packs(which I am not able to handle) and nothing but Coors light. I am afraid you have lost me this time, but thank you for the time it worked, Respect fully, Gordon T. Foster read more
