The Incinerator snacks/bfast to go! Great prices..
Jennifer O.

It's the deals. Green juice, protein drinks, Blue Buffalo cat food, Foster Farms whole chicken, T-bone steaks and everything's 50-70% off? You heed the call, especially when you're feeding a teenage boy. You can do a complete grocery shopping. Produce is plentiful and fresh, fish and meat from wild caught salmon, chicken, pork, lamb chops, ground beef/pork/lamb/turkey and more. Grocery Outlet has all the grocery items you regularly buy and you'll save serious coin. This location has a good cheese and wine selection and cases of frozen convenience food from burritos to pierogi and pizza. This Grocery Outlet's been open since December 2020; they do a great job. Plentiful parking in this plaza centrally located in San Rafael. Shop here once and you'll be a fan!

OMG!! I never even heard of this store and now I will look for it everywhere I go. I made a stir fry a few night's ago and wanted to make it again. I saw this store while making a different stop. I was very impressed with the prices. For organics too. I think I paid $15 less for the same items I got at a Safeway. This is including some organics. The young lady at the register was pleasant and professional. I was on a time restraint but I will return just to wander the aisles and see all that they have.

I enjoy checking out different Grocery Outlets as each store is a franchise and though they have common products, there are items that are unique to each store. Since we were in the area, we stopped by this store since we were in the area. Located in the Marin Square shopping center, parking was plentiful. This store is modern and was spacious with wider aisles compared to typical stores. The meat, deli and produce section are in the back right and frozen sections are in the middle of the store. The store was well stocked and they do a good job doing it as there were pallets of inventory ready for stocking. The store carries a lot of inventory in each category, so you get a lot of option here. We got some Oakland Coffee by rock band, Green Day here. This is one of the better stores that I've shopped. A good store choice for you Grocery Outlet shoppers.

Sampling of buys from various G.O's. $5 off valid with $25 minimum purchase, good for only 2 weeks..

Grocery Outlet has been around for decades. it's business model has evolved from selling slightly dented cans to selling products near it's sell by date, overstocked products from other sources, products that aren't selling.... stores are owned individually by a pairing of partners. no person owns more than 1 G.O. not all G.O's sell the same item. pricing may vary between different stores. I stopped shopping at G.O. for awhile. started again after I developed a plan: don't expect to find anything I want. just buying a few items cheaply to see how they taste. (beats paying regular price for something that's so so) seldom buy vegetables, meats, liquors cuz I seldom cook. I only boil, steam, microwave, and baked in convection ovens. each store caters to a certain demographic. stores near high income area will have high end products. etc. most G.O.'s cater to middle income earners. nonetheless, expect most products to have high amounts of fats, sugars, salt, additives. some will carry vegan food. was asked politely if I wanted to donate $5. which I could get deducted from my next shopping tab. It wasn't disclosed to me I couldn't use it for 7 days, $25 minimum purchase needed . valid for only 2 weeks... no more donations!

I am a BIG fan of the grocery outlet stores. I have been shopping at all the bay area stores for some time, the prices are unbeatable. I'm a single income parent, therefore...these prices are undeniably great!! I have shopped in many several occasions to this location, and all, but one of my visits was great. I was here on 12/31/23 and I encountered a cashier who made a mistake on the receipt. I came back to the register to indicate there was a mistake and she quickly acknowledged the error. She handed me the amount back but shorted me my change and only gave me the dollar bills. I realized she had shorted me so, I had to notify her before walking out and ended up waiting because she had assisted someone else in line. I did not gripe about having to wait, it was the fact she felt shorting me of my change was okay. She did not apologize for the error or inconvenience. Customer service comes a looooong way. Plus, I wasn't being rude or demanding, I just simply wanted my money back for being overcharged for an item I did not purchase. I left the store, and quicky realized I had to come back inside before leaving the parking lot. When I returned I made a quick dash to the produce section which was very neat and the product looked very good and fresh. It was nicely arranged and everything about it looked appetizing. I grabbed the produce I needed and returned back to the line. I didn't have the same clerk as the first checkout when I was there minutes earlier. I had a younger girl who was EXTREMELY RUDE!!! She was a younger Hispanic girl named, Debahni and her attitude was trash! She was annoyed that the receipt was not printing and began cursing at their receipt dispenser. She never apologized or indicated a single remark for some common courtesy regarding the inconvenience. She actually indicated it was not her fault the machine was not printing and that the receipt printer was jammed. She spoke both languages to me, but she continued to curse at the machine and tap it while saying "bi***". I heard her do this action twice and call the machine "bi***" twice in my presence. I was shocked at her behavior, but more shocked at the lack of common courtesy and the disregard for any type of attentiveness or friendliness that one expects from store clerks. She asked if I needed my receipt and I told her that I did, especially after the initial time when I was overcharged. I was legitimately entitled to my receipt. I'm an individual that saves my receipts and scans them on a system I have at home for my records. She seemed very annoyed with my request, and I told her that customer service comes a long way and that her poor negative attitude was not necessary. It was NYE, but not only that I as a customer deserved better treatment. I was not being demanding or rude, I simply wanted my receipt. Very small task, but she was extremely disturbed. This young girl needs to be taught a BIG lesson in respect and manners, but especially customer service. She will never get far in life with that poor attitude in the work force. She needs a switch in jobs, especially if her attitude is going to remain like this. Marin County will not tolerate this type of hostility from any employee, especially a young girl... people will begin to flood yelp or call the manager regarding her very poor attitude. It left me speechless, and I was disappointed my kids had to witness her disrespect. Another lady approached the register, since Debahni indicated to her I wanted my receipt, this woman too did not apologize, and I expressed to her that the last girl was being extremely rude and had an attitude. I also told her that she had been expressing herself with curse words. I don't expect top notch customer service, but I didn't even get minimal average customer service. I also got the same feeling, the Debahni girl was hostile and the other girl who took over after her could not even offer an apology for the inconvenience or the wait time for having to re-boot the computer a few times for my receipt. They were all speaking Spanish at the register, I can understand, but for others it can be perceived as rude. Because of this negative encounter and experience, I will refrain from this store until they can hire friendly clerks who have empathy and can at least be slightly kind on a customer service level.

Banh mi Ba was closed today because they aren't open on Tuesday so I decided to get a sandwich from the Good Earth deli. It was meant to be a tofu banh mi -- It was on sourdough baguette with a pair of massive slabs of baked tofu. I give them credit for the delicious Japanese style pickle, but there simply wasn't enough of it and the scanty slices of daikon were OK, but ultimately this was better as a salad without the bread and added vinaigrette myself. Those chunks of tofu were undeniably tofu, but it was just not a great sandwich experience. The funny thing is, I had asked a couple of men dining outside the grocery store. If there was anything they recommended at the deli. They both told me what they had ordered and suggested requesting extra barbecue sauce for the brisket because it's quite dry. I was not expecting my tofu sandwich to be so dry but also soggy. I'll stick with Banh mi Ba for my banh mi -- and try other things at good earth going forward. Also, I just want to note that last November on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, my tire was vandalized by somebody who stuck a knife into it twice in on purpose purposes of the sidewall. They do not have cameras on the parking lot and even Fairfax police said "oh well we can't take reports for things that happened on private property" which honestly makes me wonder what they do when somebody breaks into a house or does something on "private" property. Does that mean laws are not enforced on private property in Fairfax? Stay tuned.

Not knowing anyone in the area and living in a 2 bedroom apartment we decided to outsource thanksgiving to Woodlands Market in Kentfield. We had shopped a few times at Kentfield and were very pleased with our experience so figured this was the ideal place to try takeout Thanksgiving. The pickup process was very convenient, they had a tent outside with multiple people helping customers. They walked through the order list show each item on the order list to make sure there wasn't anything missing, also they helped load items into the car. They even had snacks to offer, they made the atmosphere for pickup very nice ! We did their small turkey and assorted sides with desert option as we wanted some left overs. We were very happy with our choice !!! The sides were packed in aluminum containers which made re-heating very easy, the turkey was pre cooked so just needed to reheat. They provided instructions on how to reheat everything. Only thing I would change was I would of foiled the turkey top 1/2 through the reheat. The funny thing is when I went to throw out the box that the meal came in there was 2 boxes in the dumpster from others in the same dumpster from the apartment complex. Clearly we weren't the only ones overall this was a great experience and am going to order through them for Christmas as well.
