It was deserted so early in the morning, and while I did not find a bathing suit, I did find some work out garments that would perfectly suit the occasion (hot tub therapy), for only $15.00! Lots of kids clothing and basic apparel here, at excellent discount prices!

I put it on and double-checked with the lady in the front of the store as to the price and she said $24.99, the clerk will know. He rang up on my receipt an item I didn't purchase for $1.99 so the total for the sweatshirt was $26.98 minus the tax. Really shitty of the dude to do that just because it was cool out. Two dollars is not a lot of money but I hate being ripped off for any reason. BTY... their phone number goes to a fax machine.

I still come here to buy cheap stuff, and I don't expect it to last forever. On a Monday, I dropped by to shop for drain stoppers. This store has a little bit of everything. Way in the back they have a small grocery area with coolers, freezers, and sacks of rice. They have aisles of canned foods, HABA (health and beauty), stationery, and cheap hardware. Up front, they have a huge selection of balloon designs. Also, incense and candles. Why 3-stars? Narrow aisles and the smell of urine. Your aisles are narrow. Then some are made very narrow by having merchandise boxes stacked on the floor. Someone in a wheelchair will have a problem. Also, your store isn't clean. The checkout area smells like someone used it for a bathroom. Who the heck pees on the floor in a store? But if you're looking for something at a low price, come try Discount City.

The total costs are usually cheaper than many of the grocery stores around (even with delivery/service charges). While I always enjoy the thrill of never knowing what I'll find at Grocery Outlet when I go in person, getting delivery from this particular Grocery Outlet has been particularly helpful. It gives me a preview of what they have in stock beforehand, it prevents impulse purchases (I am OFTEN very guilty of this), and since I don't have a car in the city, it prevents me from having to lug a number of heavy items across the city. If you have yet to check out a Grocery Outlet - I highly suggest you remedying that and heading over in person waaaaysap. And if you're already a Grocery Outlet regular/fan and are nervous about grabbing a plethora of 'additional items' while shopping - you may want to look into doing some Grocery Outlet delivery... Trust.

Consistently lower priced items than grocery stores are the breads (same expiration timelines). Also, I have scored great prices on various packs of Ritter chocolates ($2.99), including white and milk chocolate varieties. My latest find was a box of chai tea for $1.99. So, here's the catch-prices are better here due to the Best by or used by dates and sometimes, over production, and/or unpopular/unfamiliar items. The true secret to shopping here is their extensive spice collection. You can buy Costco sized containers without having to leave your neighborhood or pay for a membership. PRO-TIP~ -check out their pet (dogs/cats) sections; they're always changing variations of food/treats-yet, they always have staples like Temptations, Milk Bones, and litter. -be compulsive in checking the Best By/Use By dates. This is key in getting a "good deal" -always~look, smell, and taste test (if any doubts-throw it out) ***Each location has its own unique twist on what they carry. Happy hunting ...***

They get a lot of pallet items from big box stores and Amazon, so inventory is always changing. Plenty of stuff under MSRP, lots of tools, and a good mix of new in box and sealed items. It's honestly just fun to browse and see what turns up. Be warned though, it is quite messy inside so be ready to dig. Some items are returns, which is expected with pallet goods, but they do inspect things before putting them out. They missed something once on an item I bought that it didn't work out for me, but they honored the exchange without any hassle. Overall, fun place to browse and see what turns up.

BUYER BEWARE!!! I…read morepurchased a RIDGID wet tile saw here for $250 and was clearly told it was new. The owner said I could "check it out," so I lifted the top of the box in the store, saw tags attached, and trusted their representation that it was new and complete. I purchased the saw well in advance of the beginning of my project because it seemed like a good deal. Almost two months later, when I fully unpacked it to start my project, I discovered multiple essential parts were missing. The saw is completely unusable. When I contacted the store, they refused any refund and blamed me for not fully unpacking and inventorying every component at the counter. That expectation is unreasonable. This is a large saw with many tightly packed components. Once fully unpacked, it's nearly impossible to repack it exactly as it was. The store is extremely cluttered with little open space, making it impractical to lay out and inspect every part of a large piece of equipment on-site. At the end of the day, I trusted their advertisement and verbal assurance that I was purchasing a new, complete product. Instead, I was left with an unusable saw and zero accountability from the seller. I am now out $250 and forced to replace it. If you shop here, assume you are taking on all risk. Inspect every component before paying -- because if something is wrong, you will be told it's your fault. Also, the pictures provided above by this store are not what it looks like inside. Items are scattered everywhere. DO NOT TRUST THIS BUSINESS!!!
