So Schwegel's is my local small grocery store. They have…read morejust about everything I need and great sales! Just yesterday I got in on their sale of Snow crab legs and my family had a great feast! Their customer service is wonderful and they are so nice every time I come in. Oh I also want to mention their house made sausages. Unbelievably good brats. I particularly like the cherry brats, the cranberry horseradish brats, and the Italian sausage. WONDROUS! So if you live in Alton please utilize this little treasure. It's family owned and it shows in how they treat the customer!

Schwegel's is a fantastic little local grocery store with a top-notch butcher counter. It's a shame…read morethat they don't get the attention they deserve. The customer service is what you'd expect from a small town market, personalized and friendly. They offer monthly meat bundles that are budget friendly. Their brats will put, Johnsonville Brats to shame and Jimmy Dean's sausage cannot hold a candle to their sausage. Proof that buying local is a good thing. Some of their brands are generic, but with today's economy that is a good thing. There are lots of single little coolers around the store, filled with perishable products. Take note of the prepared foods near the butcher counter. You'll find some delicious side dishes for those tasty brats. Another end-cap to check out, is their branded spices. They're just as good as those expensive name brand spices. If you haven't shopped the aisles of Schwegel's, I recommend you correct that ASAP. You just might become a frequent shopper.

Their in house brat selection is top notch and a wide selection of different types. The gummy bear brats are actually quite good. Ozark grillers are a personal favorite of mine along with the beef jerky. They also offer many different types of burgers with various add ins. I've enjoyed almost all of them. As far as meat cuts they have a wide selection and are reasonably priced. Large pork steaks, ribeyes, T-bones, pork chops, various chicken cuts and many others. They also offer some really good made in house sides. Service is always quick and friendly and they offer a decent rewards program.

We've been attending since the beginning, as the Alton Farmer's Market gained in popularity and…read moreoutgrew space after space. Saturday mornings in Alton during market season have something of a magic to them. You get to see friends and family and make new connections. If you're a dog person there is no shortage of dogs to pet. Everyone is so friendly! As the season changes from Mather's Day Market to those late season October markets, the variety of delicious produce and homemade goods also changes. There are no shortage of variety when it comes to vendors. The organizers also incorporate holidays or special events throughout.

I love that this market not serves and promotes local farmers, but also local artisans. It is such…read morea delightful mix of vendors and products. The farmers offer fresh vegetables and some even have refrigerated trucks offering a variety of meats. Vendors that offer freshly made breads, pastries, jams and jellies, can almost be classified in either group. Those who are true artisans, are offering handmade jewelry, candles, cutting boards, canes, dog fashions, clothes for children and original pieces of art. That's just a sampling of what you can find walking up and down all the aisles. When I first started coming to this market it was only one of the parking lots. It has now expanded to another one and the variety of merchandise is mind blowing. It is well worth a visit. When you arrive, stop and get a coffee at Joe's and then start your stroll to shop local.

Then we ordered some beef bologna but was told they didn't have any. We have been but meat from Hansen's for years & the other generation did a better job running & managing store. I just can't believe how bad this store has gotten. This will probably be the last visit to Hansen's

I am a senior citizen, so I really don't like it when things get moved around. I get use to them…read morebeing in a certain spot and don't want to play, Find Waldo when I go shopping. I understand the need to rearrange merchandise, but it still pisses me off. Today when I went into my Schnucks, they had flipped the organization of their shopping carts. The smaller two basket carts use to be on the right side of the corral, as you entered the store. Now they are on the left side, on the far side of the lobby. I understand the change, they want you to take a larger cart in hopes that you purchase more items. Sorry, not happening. I like my small cart. When I entered the store, I was entering with other seniors and we all were taken back of the cart reorganization. We all figured it out and stepped to the left to get the two tier carts. To be honest, I still miss the red hand baskets. For me they were the perfect size for a single person. Some of my favorite departments are the salad bar, seafood, deli and bakery. I like the salad bar because, I can make a delicious salad and take it home. Being single, buying all the ingredients for a salad is not cost effective. So much of it goes to waste. The same is true for the bakery. When I want something sweet, I can buy a single serving instead of baking an entire cake or pie. The seafood and deli are great places for me to grab lunch items when I am working my part-time job. In front of the prepared foods they have already packaged like; Chicken Salad, Cole Slaw, Potato Salad and other prepared side dishes. The seafood department has similar offerings. This Godfrey Schnucks is my hometown grocery store and it's close to my home. I'm easily here 3 times a week, so I'm a familiar face to most cashiers and some floor clerks. Since I usually buy 10 or fewer items, I'm a frequent user of Self Check-Out. When I have items that need to be weighed or I did some serious shopping and bought 11+ items I go through the cashier line. Self or cashier check-out, the staff is always friendly.

I've stopped shopping at Schnucks. Literally everything is overpriced. For example, the items I've…read morecompared with Walmart there is a $3.99 difference with just four items (see pic, this was November 2025). At Walmart, when you schedule a grocery pickup, there are 38 parking spots. Even if it's a peak hour or before a holiday, you will have a place to park for the pick-up. Schnucks uses Instacart, and this location has only four parking spots for grocery pickup. If the store is even somewhat busy, expect some or all four spots used by people shopping in the store. Schnucks does nothing about that. Also, they often screw up the order. Never happened once at Walmart in the last 8 months. My last time in the store was to buy an item from the meat deli. The young butcher was a total jackass from the start. When I have time, I'll drive to Scott AFB's commissary for the only better prices than Walmart that I've found.
