    Rotten corn
    Michelle O.

    Most of the time produce looks good but just the other day... all the veggies looked like they were wilting.... Bought stuff for camping Went to bbq the corn on the cob I bought... taking out of the package... it felt slimy.... It was moldy Was pretty upset Almost cooked for my family

    I like coming here and finding some good deals on items that I cannot find at Trader Joe's. Also there is always some type of Kombucha or pre made coffee drink here that is a fraction of the price of what it would be at Whole Foods. They also have good deals on Keurig coffee pods from Dunkin Donuts which I like but check the date before purchasing. Some stuff is close to expiring.

    Local Eval: Balloon filled grand opening! We definitely do appreciate another Grocery Outlet that is closer to the 5 Cities/Pismo Beach area. It & a fitness center occupy the former K-mart site, which really did not see too much business. As opposed to some of the other major nearby supermarkets, such as Von's or Cal-fresh, it does generally has better prices. It does complement nearby Smart & Final [bulk bargains], Trade Joes [gourmet/specialty], Aldi's [some German eats & bargains], & other various groceries, bakeries, butcher shops, & more. As for now, it is spanking new and clean, and is stocked full of all the mainstream items, that one sees in the other three local Grocery Outlets that are in SLO, Atascadero, or Los Osos. I did notice, that they seemed to out of sanitary wipes for carts, and most carts were stacked at the far end of the parking lot. People either snagged carts from checking out customers, or used hand totes. This defeats efforts to curb the spread of flu, cold, viruses, & other pathogens. Our local city governments should step up ASAP to require that large markets do their part in good hygiene at this time. Especially when it is busy, they should not only have someone bring a cart back to the store, but to at least wipe down the handle with either a bleach or Lysol cleaner that is approved to kill at least 99+% of pathogens. Obviously, they had a ton of new customers that may not have ever been to one of them, based on a few conversations. As each G.O. is a bit different, and may have different bargains, or "closeout" items, an "experienced" customer, can quickly scan through the various selections to see what may be more unique, or a super-deal. Since they are new, I only saw a few unique items, that I do not recall seeing at nearby stores. Also since they are new, items that get discounted when close to, or at their expiration date, are not yet evident, but hopefully will be available in the future [as they "age"]. Since we already had stocked up on several large bags of Quinoa at the SLO location a few months back, which was one of the true bargains here, we did not need that, nor other stuff we had already stocked up at their other locations. We were also on a mission to stock up on lots of bulk dried goods in case of an emergency of a possible epidemic & a run on stores, which we heard is happening to some areas in the SF Bay area, now that there is likely community transmission. We now have enough Quinoa, Rice, Beans, Bran, Tylenol, cleaning products, & more to last for quite awhile. For some reason, Costco is no longer the go to place for many bulk items, especially if you do not want to pay the "organic" premium. Regardless of emergencies, it is always wise to buy things that have a long shelf life when you find a great discount, as with Grocery Outlet's Canadian Quinoa. It seemed that the meat/poultry selection appeared quite fresh and nice, while the dairy was a bit "pricey" in respect to Yogurt. A large container of Fage can be now found in a number of places at the same price. While I did not spend too much time checking out the wine selection, I did not notice as many local, Moscato, or German wines, as another location. Since they are brand new, they will need time to adjust to the area, and I do hope that they will eventually offer more of the outlet bargains that we have come to love at their other locations. In terms of location, proximity to the 101, and ease of parking, they are in an ideal location. Welcome to the neighborhood, but please up your game with providing wipes and clean carts.

    The Grocery Outlet store that know of is a store that will try and have what other grocery stores have... groceries.. at a low price. I know that when I go in I won't be looking for high quality name brand products. Today I was on my normal travels and I had to get some fruit, so I see the Grocery Outlet and I stop and knowing what I'm here for go inside. Right off the bat in front of the store I see a nice bag of lemons, so I grab them. I then proceed to the back and find my Fuji apples, and I see a nice pack of tomatoes and I pick them up. I was only there for the apples but the presentation of the lemons and tomatoes was a an impact buy. Customer service was excellent, I don't know how the associate that was helping me could be in such a great mood especially with a mask on, but at these times its something we all have to get used to. Good job Grocery Outlet.

    Store Front, with plenty of parking available.

    Grocery Outlet Bargain Market is the newest Food Retailer in Arroyo Grande. Unlike their Grand Opening, the store had nary a sole in it, as we checked out all the different departments. I am not a particular fan of this Chain Market, due to the fact that I can not find a product I may enjoy and have purchased in the store previously, with any consistency. What is there one week, may not be there the next or for that matter ever again! I happen to need a couple of heads of Cauliflower to roast this evening and since I had not patronized this location yet...thought we could go in and give it a try. The store had adequate square footage, yet the departments like Deli, Meat and Produce (all normally "premier" departments on the "Cake Walk" or perimeter of the store) were all disappointingly small. The "presentation" of the products offered was fine (fresh and appealing), but the "bargains" were, well...not here! Cauliflower was priced quite a bit higher than at the Kroger Store I normally buy from. I quickly scanned the shelves for my normal "shopping items" and was disappointed in the "general" grocery isles for lack of selection...and again, surprised at the generally higher pricing. The Store Associates did not disappoint, however, in their Customer Service and trying to be as helpful as possible. Unfortunately, this was not enough to make the grocery shopping experience as fulfilling as what we had hoped for. Because of this, in this Yelper's opinion...the Grocery Outlet Bargain Market in Arroyo Grande, has only earned a 3 Star "average" review.

    The selection is often on sometimes they have it sometimes they don't. Great wine selection, and great customer service.

    Prices are great, clean. My only complaint/recommendation is that ALL their employees should be wearing a mask, especially the checkers!

    I'm giving this Food 4 Less five stars, no question. I didn't even come here planning to do a full…read moregrocery run. It was supposed to be a quick stop, more of a grab a snack and get out situation, and somehow I ended up just walking around impressed. This is hands down one of the nicest and largest Food 4 Less locations I've ever been to. Everything felt open, well stocked, and surprisingly calm. Coming from LA, this location felt like it was kind of in the middle of nowhere compared to what I'm used to, but that actually made the experience better. It felt less chaotic, less rushed, and honestly refreshing. I kept thinking how lucky the people who live nearby are to have this as their go to grocery store. The aisles were wide, the layout made sense, and nothing felt picked over or messy. It's one of those places where you don't feel stressed shopping, which says a lot for a grocery store. What really got me was how what started as a quick errand turned into an easy snack run plus browsing. It was clean, organized, and just overall a pleasant place to be. Sometimes you forget how much environment matters until you walk into a store like this and realize how smooth everything feels. If this were closer to me, I'd absolutely come here more often. Easily five stars for being efficient, spacious, and unexpectedly impressive.

    HOLE-IN-THE-WALL with a dirt parking lot…read more hides fermented liquid gems! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Normally, I would never stop at place like this, but several months ago, I was desperately, a hard to find local wine (Fossil Point- Pinot- which I found out by Goggling is likely made by a name brand local vineyard under another brand name for far less money, and so as not to undercut their "premium" selection. Anyway, I walked in, turned the corner, and almost immediately I spied the local wine, among a whole bunch of other local wines at decent prices. So, I talk to one the young fellows who work their & I placed an order for two cases... I was afraid that it would be discontinued.... but now, several months later I still see it there and now at Haggen. It is kind of cramped in there, and the first time I went there & turned around, I accidently knocked a bottle that was randomly sit on a box along side a windex bottle. I felt like an idiot bull in a china shop. Anyway, the owners were very cool, and they apologized...which was gracious. I was like holy crap, I am so sorry...but it only a White Wine anyway :) In this cramped space they somehow manage to pack lots of local wines, but you really need to look up, down, & bend down to see all of the selection. They also have an extensive beer selection, but few imports. Behind the counter they have the usual harder stuff & have some good vodkas. It could be that you can find something here rather than at Haggen, Von's, or Cal Fresh. Anyway, sometimes you can find gems in dirt! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
