The lengthy title says it all: Sunshine Salvage Amish Discount Grocery & Country Store…read more In the middle of Monte Vista, CO lies this moderate looking store. There could be another sign or two advertising the place, however, Google Maps will lead you strait to it. A very nice Amish woman laughed at my cowboy's jokes and asked me if I was related to another local. To my knowledge, I am not! Lol. The parking lot was gravel with unmarked spaces. A sleepy dog with wavy yellowish-brown hair greeted us gently, but immeditely went back to snoozing. Inside the semi-dusty country store was a surprising amount of everything one could possibly need in a pinch: + dried beans and pastas + nuts and all the baking goods + pie filling + canned goods + household supplies + personal hygiene items + cold drinks and snacks + cat/dog commodities I picked up a jar of locally-made blackberry jam, apple cider vinegar, and drinks for the kids all for under $13. Keep in mind that items like dented canned goods and some smashed packaged items are sold with deep discounts. They do not sell much meat aside from the canned variety. I paid cash for our items, but they do accept plastic. I will definitely be here in the future. TIP The store is open daily except on Sunday 9AM-5PM. Also, their bakery is open only a few days of the week which we sadly missed out on.

Lots of good humor, camaraderie, super cheap prices. We scored 2 books - a Harlen Coben and a Joseph conrad for 50c each. The lady manning the till was super friendly and chatty.

I always thought that buying meat at the butcher is expensive. I was wrong! I always bought beef…read moreshort ribs at Sam's Club (a 5 minute drive from my former house) to make Korean bbq. Since moving to the San Luis Valley, Sam's Club is not accessible to me anymore (unless I drive 2-1/2 hours to Pueblo), so I looked into Valley Meat. The price of their beef short ribs is actually comparable, if not less expensive. I've also bought pork belly, and they cut them to however I want them. Meats that are not available at Walmart, City Market or Safeway, I buy them at the Valley Meat Market. Recently, I bought ox tail there. I have two large German Shepherd dogs. I buy quartered raw femur bones regularly at Valley Meat with prices that do not break the bank. My dogs love them!!! I have to mention that the folks at the meat market are also very nice and friendly. As soon as you walk in, someone will immediately help you. If you do not like to wait, give them a call and place your order. Just let them know when you want to pick up, they'll have your order ready for you. Try them...they have excellent fresh meat!!!

Great selection of meat and this is my go to place when I need to get anything meat related.read more

Here's all the irritatin' s*** about this place: - parking... nobody from the onslaught of Subarus to the ginormous lifted pickup trucks knows how to park between the lines - per usual Walmart fashion, choosing a decently rolling cart is a chore - getting assistance from an employee is less likely than your contracting the plaque - most things my cowboy needs or desires they are out of or in extremely limited supply. Go figure. - loser teenage girls walking around scoffing because "they can't steal something when it's behind the glass." - 9 times out of 10 no one is working the counter in the sporting goods section PROS + lowest prices in town + we love the Asian guy who was working the pharmacy side exit on Father's Day 2023... where is he? Such a nice man.

The employee comes to me after I had started scanning my groceries and said it's 15 items like the sign says. I said sorry I didn't see the sign and said since I've started can I finish she rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders then when I got to 15 items it stopped letting me scan until she came over to scan her badge. She could have handled that so differently! If she would have said to me when I was starting"I'm sorry but it will only let you scan 15 items" I would have said ok and went to another checkout. I just counted my items and checked out 2 more times and finished my scanning. There is a really nice grocery store up the street that I will spend my next 300.00 for groceries!

Each time I have visited this store, it has been tidy and mostly clean. The section that impresses me most is their livestock feed area... it basically has its own room for the multiple pallets of feed sacks. The drawback for me was the lack of price signage. Overall, though, the friendly employees, affordable prices, and rewards program are why I give this place high accolades. Tractor Supply on!

Real thrift stores like this are getting hard to come by. They're all starting to get curated, overpriced, and over-shopped. I found a wooden train set for my preschooler for only ten bucks, and got a bunch of other items for $1 or $2 each: paperback books, kids clothes, glasses, and canning jars. I even got a shirt for myself!

They don't have a public bathroom but did let my 3 yr old niece use their bathroom when we were close to an "uh o" moment. It's a must stop for thrifting in the area.
