The Good - Overall lower prices than supers on most items - Great selection of wines and beer at discounted prices - Good selection of organic/healthy items - Breads, milk, and house brand items are really good deals The bad - Many items have short best buy and expiration dates - Small in size and variety compared to their larger stores i.e. Irvine and Costa Mesa I've always thought this was the Marshall's of the grocery business. Many of the items that he supers don't want end up here. Nothing wrong with that but it means that there is not the consistency of items You can't count on some of the items you're buying today will be there tomorrow. On the good part is that it's often at a great prices. For example, I just bought a bottle of antibacterial Dawn Dish liquid for $3.99 bit is $6.99 at the supers. They had an extra large bag (1.5#) of Lindt Dark Chocolate truffles for $9.99, retail is $17.99 but I first noticed it in on the shelves 30 days before the best buy date. So I ended up at Costco and bought the same product for $12.99 with a BB date over a year later. (But it's a major hassle to shop at Costco unless you're buying other items!). Their Simply products are new and great, I've had their pasta and sauces and eggs. Their bread selection is fairly fresh, and the Sourdough Bread fro San Luis is $5.00, over a dollar more at the supers. I like their Orowheat Keto bread, and artisan breads for much cheaper than supers. Milk products which include lactose free milk are all fresh but some of the yogurt, cream cheese, cottage cheese may have short (less than 1 week) expiration dates. Fruits and vegetables are hit and miss. While plantain bananas are a cheap 99 cents a pound, many of their produce items are not so fresh. But some deals are great, like $2.00 for a cantaloupe or mini watermelon when in season. They have the usual veggies including bagged salads which are fresh and a little cheaper than supers. Meats are also hit and miss but many items are cheaper than supers. However, most of their steaks are not graded (i.s. Choice cuts) and marbling on the steaks are rarely good except for the tougher cuts like tri tip steaks. (brine these in salt overnight and they're good the next day). Lots of chicken, including whole chicken and pork. One thing you'll notice is that it's a rarity that their cashiers - who are mostly young - have the happy chatty cashiers like at Trader Joe's. That's a minor detail They had a management change earlier this year and overall the stocks are much better filled and the store is cleaner. read more

GO provides a variety of discounted grocery items. If you eat many different foods and like to mix up your menus, you'll benefit from finding name brands and some lesser known brands at lower prices. I often find a new and tasty snack item! read more

I liked Trader Joe's they have unique products. I don't really think that the prices are low and you couldn't really do a whole family shopping there in my opinion on my budget however, I really wish that they would make a large size flavored yogurts not a little teeny tiny 4 ounce that's just not enough And I would like to see more specials sale items. Thank you. I do love the chocolate gummy bears for sure.!!! read more

This place can really save you money! The downside is that some products are not always available. Other than that, great place

Stopped by here for some snacks and some stuffs are cheaper than outside but some are not...and remember this is not a typical supermarket; it's a discounted store...so you might not find everything here...they might not have certain items or brands... Over all, I had a good experience and got some new snacks and able to find some of our favorite snacks as well. read more

This place is hit or miss but if you are in a budget, they have decent items for a lower price. You never know so it's worth stopping in and taking a browse. I'm pleasantly surprised to find better for you items as well for a reduced price. You can't beat it, Stop on by. read more

March 26th., A pound 16 Oz. of ground pork grind discounted too 2 dollars. I used it to make a huge family size pot of chili. Wow so good in this cold drizzle weather. Thank You, read more

This is my bargain grocery shopping go to. You can find some great deals and it's rarely crowded with long lines unlike Aldi. Recently we checked out and had already paid, the cashier noticed they forgot to apply the coupon discounts on the food packages. They proactively stopped us and apologized and REFUNDED US! That type of honesty, integrity, and customer service is so appreciated and why we'll keep coming back. read more

This is such a great grocery store for finding products that your every day grocery store won't carry. The prices are great and they have a good variety.It doesn't get too busy here, the checkout line was short and the service very friendly. Their items were fresh and the shelves well stocked. Good option for the area! read more

This grocery outlet is well stocked and often Carries goodies from Whole Foods. I found some good vegan banana muffins here and dips. Almond & soy milk can be found for $2 here which is a steal. Staff is always friendly and hard at work read more

You know this place has some decent bargains. If your shopping on a budget and don't mind checking dates. Cause sometimes they are close to expiration. It's not shabby at all. The meat dept is ok. Veggies are fresh. Just have to pick thru them. But the deals are in peanut butter, jams. Honey. Toothpaste. Lots of the little things. Even protein powder. And flour. They have a lot of gluten free options as well. read more

This is probably one of the worst locations of this grocery chain. And I love grocery outlets. The selection here is extremely limited and much smaller than other locations. Many of the items found in other stores are not found here, like flaxseed milk or coconut milk. The produce was also distinctively not fresh. The manager on site that day gave me major attitude about the cart which was completely uncalled for. Not ever shopping here again! read more

This feels like a treasure hunt every time I come in, which I have for the last 3 years...there's lots of name brand products (hardly any generics) in here for more than 50% off. Just watch for expiration dates as they might come up pretty quickly. Great snacks for school lunches, class parties, and sports snacks. Lots of cookware that rival Bed Bath and Beyond, bath products that are stocked at Homegoods, and lots of finds that are more than double at Whole Foods. Don't forget Wine Wednesdays, where their already low prices are discounted another 10% for a case of 12 mix and match bottles. Today, I scored two Barolos in the case for $18 each ($19.99 discounted from $32.99 retail) that my wine connoisseur husband approved, although I never told him where I got them from! The spacious aisles, ample parking, and clean interiors make for an enjoyable shopping experience! read more

I've been to a few Grocery Outlet's and this one seems smaller but it's organized. Grocery Outlet's are weird and I haven't figured it out yet. I was here looking for a cheap Halloween Costume but there were none (I'd seen some last year in Huntington Beach). Grocery Outlet's are hit and miss and not all are the same. One item I found that I've never seen before was a Brawny Project Mat. read more

I have been coming to this location since it opened. Conveniently located and plenty of parking, its easy to shop and find some great deals here! On a weekly basis, they offer amazing deals. $1.99 lb skinless and boneless chicken breast. Aisles of cans, condiments, cereals (brand names) for much less. Be sure to check expiration dates. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I've been here over 30+ times and have never had a bad experience. Definitely support, saved quite a bit of money and will continue to shop here! read more

Buyer Beware! As others have mentioned, this location does not require masks during COVID-19. The customer before me had a mask on below his nose and covering only his mouth, that is not enough! They are also a small location compared to others and do not accept returns from other stores. I think if Grocery Outlet was going to operate independently on their policies, it should be stated in the store as well as on the receipt. When I informed the manager the receipt did not indicate returns needed to be made with the same store, only within 30 days and it had been 2 weeks, he proceeded to let me know they used to accept returns from others, but no longer. Given that I was not returning perishable goods or even near expiration product (both new, unopened), he could have made an exception to make another sale and customer, instead he lost a customer for life at that store and possibly all Grocery Outlets! read more

Grocery Outlet - a receipt for a restaurant - Grocery Near Me - Tustin, California

Racial Profiling at this Location We normally shop at the Orange location and have no complaints. Everyone that works there is friendly and provides good customer service. I cannot say the same thing about this particular location. A few weeks ago I was shopping with my brother and he pointed out that one of the employees was following him throughout the store. I didn't notice and thought that he was being paranoid. He called the employee out on this and point blank asked why he was being followed. The employee claimed he was looking for his manager. Right. I guess he doesn't know where his manager normally works within the store and thought he MIGHT just happen to be in every single aisle my brother walked down. When we went to check out, my brother was inexplicably asked very loudly and very rudely by the checker (male, white or possibly biracial, 20's) "will you be using any food stamps today?". WTF?? My jaw literally dropped. Noticeably, the white couple buying cases of wine just before us was NOT asked this question. In fact, I have never heard a checker ask that type of question to a customer at ANY store I have ever visited. This was beyond inappropriate and very clearly based on my brother's color/race. To make it even more obvious that this was the case, I (who have lighter skin and am often mistaken for white, esp by ignorant white people), was also NOT asked if I would be using food stamps. Only my brother was asked this question. So they cannot lie and say they ask all of their customers this. Clearly, they do not. My brother works for a living. He is clean cut and well dressed. He has never been a recipient of food stamps in his entire life. He was buying healthy food like grass fed beef, nut milk, etc. and this moron thinks it was appropriate to ask if he would be using food stamps simply because of the color of his skin? That idiot should be fired. For whatever reason, everyone who works at this particular location is a white male under 30, all of whom reek of prejudice and have zero customer service skills. I have never felt anything remotely like that at the Orange location. Despite having more in stock in Tustin, I will never shop there again. Edit: I just searched some reviews and found ANOTHER shopper who had the exact same experience with the SAME checker. See for yourself. https://www.yelp.com/biz/grocery-outlet-bargain-market-tustin?hrid=iHW7ZRzHcXkWBLp2DaBLGA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) read more

Don't shop here if safety matters. Although it's been a mandate in OC for a whole month, they don't require masks. All three employees who were there when I walked in confirmed this. They make their own rules, apparently. Whoever owns this store doesn't care about the safety of their customers or employees. Though I've been shopping here since this location opened, they've lost a customer. read more

This place is a hidden gem. It's located where Trader Joe's used to be in a tiny shopping mall off of Irvine and Newport. They had to move across the street to accommodate more parking and GOB moved in. I really didn't know what this place was and might not have tried it had a girlfriend of mine not told me she shopped there often. One reason I was skeptical about it is because the parking lot went from impacted to empty. I don't know that one would buy ALL of their groceries there but they have great deals on produce (not a huge selection but you will find stuff) and they have amazing prices on health food items. No, this stuff is not expired or close to expiration. It's literally an outlet for groceries. I've paid minimal dollars for items that I normally forgo due to my budget...things like Pellegrino and Perrier Sparkling Water, an entire box of Quest bars for less than $1.00/ea. They even sell things like goji berries and sweet potato flour. Oh and I've even see Essie Nail Polish on sale there. It depends on what kind of items they can get but I'm often amazed. The employees are also pretty friendly. They don't have a huge staff during any particular shift but they will welcome you when you walk in and sometimes they will even give you a coupon towards your next purchase. read more

I was told this place is a hit or miss. You need to come often to see what items they have. The store is small so they don't have the selection like larger markets. The prices of items they do have are very good. The store is clean. They practice social distancing, and require masks. During busy hours parking can be a problem. The lot is rather small for all the businesses in the complex. Shop early before everything opens to insure you find parking. read more

I found a lot of stuff here that is 50% cheaper than even amazon. Definitely recommend! read more

This is my go-to store. It is always my first stop. I am often unimpressed with the produce. Sometimes it isn't in the best shape and sometimes it is wicked expensive. I love the non-dairy items - cheese and yogurt - and they often have gluten-free offerings as well. read more

Newport Avenue, Tustin. Today was my last day shopping there. It always feels unfriendly toward people of color but I kind of let it go. Once there was a nice lady and I haven't seen her ever since. Other times, there are young males (mostly Caucasian) with no manners to begin with. Often no Hello nothing while saying hello to White people. Today was the last straw. A young unfriendly, impolite Caucasian male was at the cash register. Didn't look at me, didn't say hello (I said Hi with a smile) and I told him politely that I would need a bag. He didn't pay any attention. Then I told him I had 3 water bottles. He seemed like clearly elsewhere. When he finished scanning, he asked me if I needed a bag which I had already told him before. The time was around 2:30 p.m. (Saturday Feb 2, 2025). He wore a black hoodie and was busy texting. He could hardly wait to get rid of me by simply shoving the receipt. Have a good day or thank you. Nothing. I don't know what kind of parents are raising these children but the store should've taught him some basic manners. Finally, I went to my favorite place Aldi and what a change! They were so busy yet the young man helped me find some nice and fresh cucumbers that I was looking for. I ended up buying a whole lot of things there. I am a middle aged woman of brown skin. Grocery Outlets surely have no respect for the elderlies of the people of color. What a shame. Good luck staying in business. Strong competitions out there. Amazon Fresh has eggs so much cheaper among other things. read more

4.5 stars rounded to 5 stars for great deals on Organic and Regular Groceries! Soft Opening today! I recently learned about Grocery Outlet through friends and family members and stores seem to be opening up constantly. I was at Peet's Coffee yesterday and saw the sign for the grand opening so decided to visit today. Grocery Outlet Buys in bulk discount from suppliers who might have over stock of items so shopping at Grocery Outlet is always a treasure hunt you never know what you'll find at what kind of a deal. What you can bank on is finding a lot of name brand items at a lower price than you may find at other retailers. You will find everything from fresh produce and meat, packaged goods as well as household items, basically everything you would find in a normal grocery store. I saved about $11 by buying some Crystal Geyser and Pellegrino Sparkling Waters, and even some Heinz Organic yellow mustard for .$.99 cents. The store is clean the parking lot is somewhat tight but it's worth a visit if you like to bargain hunt and save money! read more

I always shop at sprouts but I had a bad experience yesterday. I purchased some discounted meat that had a yellow sticker. I got it home and stated to open the package and wham it smelled really bad. Stay away from discounted meat. I returned it with no problem. read more

I shopped at around 8AM on Tuesday (Nov. 9th) and there were about half a dozen customers during that time. Everyone who worked there were wonderful - kind, cheerful and helpful. One individual in particular was especially so, helping my mom and I at the produce area. I was in a rush and forgot to ask for her name to compliment her to the management, so I'm sorry to be able to give only a very basic description: she was a black lady. She made us feel like valued customers, and we truly appreciated her kindness. The only point of improvement I would suggest is to require masking while inside the store. We were grateful that all the employees wore masks, but many of the customers did not. read more

Although it's been a mandate in OC and CA they don't require masks. My husband who is a senior citizen saw customers shopping with no masks and not asked by staff to wear one I called the Manager who was on duty and she confirmed this. She stated a sign was on the door stating the mask requirement but does not require employees to ensure compliance. They do not care about their customer's or employees safety and make their own rules, apparently. My health or life is not worth saving a few bucks. Integrity and common good in business counts. Whoever owns this store doesn't care about the safety of their customers or employees. Now I will go to Smart & Final or Trader Joe's right across the street. Though I've been shopping here since this location opened, they've lost a customer. read more

I love shopping at grocery store outlet. I make a lot of charcuterie boards and they have thin cheeses and meats for less but one thing you want to make sure of is checking the expiration date they're never expired but they don't have a lot of time left which is fine if you're going to be making something right away. I'm always surprised when I find awesome alcohol choices too. Sometimes I wanna go back and get the same thing and they don't have it anymore so if you see it and you want it, get it. The checker that I get intestine is always super nice and joyful! I can't member his name but he has brown hair really pretty like goldish eyes. read more

Love this place. Nice people work here, and it is a small business. We need to support the moms and pops in our community

The MANANGER Kim is a total idiot the ad had and on line price and he was trying to tell me while supply's last I had the product in my hand and he wouldn't honored the price . I told him it's right here . Don't go there this place is a joke . I would give minus stars . Never shop there again. Tustin don't need idiots like this . read more

In total love! Amazing organic selection at rock bottom prices! I seriously asked the produce guy if the stole the stuff! Clean beautiful store, and fabulous staff! Above and beyond service and smiles! Spent 390, saved a whopping 382! read more

We shop a lot in this store and no complain there really good deals on healthy items, but today I felt we were profiled. There was a blond lady infront on me and a Asain man behind me. As it was my turn to checkout. The cashier with the afro tells me if I have food stamp??? Im like no and do you ask everyone the question. He said bascially yeah. OK so I finish my checkout . I stood around so to see if he tell the asain man if he has food stamp. He didnt say squat! So he didnt say anyting non hispanic if they had food stamp. Let me say I have never been ask this question before in this store. I got so upset I was going to have a fit but my hubby just said let it go. Should I.......would you? read more

Checked out the new Grocery Outlet. Located where the old Trader Joe's was. Ample parking. The store opens at 8 so that works great for me. I do food shopping before work so I can head straight home after. The store is big but not too big to overwhelm. Clean. Well stocked. They offer fresh vegetables, pre packaged meat. Pricing is good. They send out coupons in the mail. I used $5 off $15 purchase and I appreciated that. You may not find all of what you need but you'll find most. The employees are cheerful and helpful. I will be back and will definitely tell my friends about this store. Hi Marlon! read more
