The fact that the store allows them to be out there whether they own the lot or not is a problem. Prices in the store are what you would normally find at a grocery outlet but these flock cameras, supersede any pennies and nickels you can save selling off your and your kids and families images to large AI corporations and military government, and we all know the evil that they have been doing.

Review #866 2025-038…read more I first discovered Grocery Outlet about a decade ago in Fresno, & was attracted to the unusual finds at a "grocery store," such as an Olaf bike helmet, Curious George: Discovery Beach Game, etc. The first S. Bay store opened 6 years ago in Redondo Beach, just before COVID-19; it's a bit out of way to shop there. And about a year ago, they took over the former Big Lots location in Lomita. What is Grocery Outlet? They're a discount grocery chain that sells name brand groceries & fresh produce for 40% - 70% less than conventional grocery stores. How? By buying overstocked, seasonal, closeout, & discontinued items from various suppliers. This "opportunistic buying" allows them to acquire items at significant discounts, which are passed on to us. My 14 YO daughter's swim team does this away meet "gift" (junk) exchange where they create a goody bag filled with their fav snacks & drinks. They're kids so it's obviously junk foods & sodas, except for the handful who treat each meet with consideration of this bag o' treats may hinder their performance. I'm grateful for the less expensive options at Grocery Outlet. Since I don't agree with their choices, I started creating my own carbo-load sustenance (fresh fruits, granola bars, nuts, etc.) on competition days. Grocery Outlet offer pretty great deals on fresh fruits, I especially loved the 2-lb. strawberry pack that my husband got recently... so fresh, juicy, & sweet! I got some red cherries (at $2.99/lb.) that were sweet too! Not all produce offer better quality & prices, I'd say it's more like 50-50. Another recent find was A-Sha Spicy Seaweed (only 99¢) & Keroppi Mandarin Noodles with Silly Spicy Sauce (60% discount). Store hours are 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM daily, just a couple hours shorter than the traditional stores. Wide aisles are well-stocked & organized, but you may not always find the same products at your next shopping trip due to opportunistic buying, & what may be priced that day may be priced differently the next day (e.g. Quaker Chewy Limited Edition Valentine Minis: Chocolate Chip with Sprinkles was 99¢, & 2 days later it was $3.99). Also, it's important to check the expiration dates for those too-good-to-be-true deals, they usually have a short expiration dates or are already expired. Yikes! There's usually only 1 register opened even when there's a line, I wish they would opened another register, but the cashiers are typically quick that sometimes I have to load my own bags.

I hardly ever go inside stores anymore since moving to California (obviously, I'm not originally…read morefrom here ), but whenever I order online through their website for pickup, it is genuinely one of the easiest and BEST things ever. My orders are always ready on time, they've never messed up an order, and if something needs to be substituted, they're quick to communicate with me beforehand so there are no surprises when I arrive. I've probably ordered from here 40+ times at this point (could be more, could be less -- I honestly have no idea, but I order A LOT), and I can confidently say that the employees have ALWAYS been pleasant, helpful, and efficient. I can only remember one occasion where my order took a little longer than usual, but I could literally see ALL OF THE CARS in the parking lot, so I obviously wasn't expecting them to magically have my order ready immediately. Even then, they still kept me updated and communicated with me, which I really appreciated. Personally, I HATE going inside stores. I have very little patience for slow walkers, people who stop in the middle of an aisle, or entire families somehow managing to take up the ENTIRE aisle while completely unaware that other people are trying to get through. I have genuinely had to remind myself to breathe in situations like that. So yes, online ordering and pickup is absolutely my preferred method because it saves me from testing the limits of my patience. That being said, every employee I've encountered here has been beyond helpful, communicative, and kind. I truly appreciate the consistency and the effort they put into making pickup so easy. And just to be clear, I'm NOT saying that going inside the store is a bad experience. The few times I have gone in, the employees have been friendly, and the store itself has always been clean and well-maintained. I simply have ADHD and, personally, slow walkers and people with zero situational awareness in a crowded store will be the death of me. So I can't really speak for the customers -- because, respectfully, I have absolutely no patience for them. ‍ But the STAFF? Always great. The pickup service? Excellent. The communication? Consistent. And after ordering here this many times, I genuinely have nothing but good things to say about the people who work here, and the store itself!

This Whole Foods is packed with employees! They were so kind and helpful!…read more Whole Foods has a special every day of the week and I came here on a Friday for their oysters, pizza, and sushi! I went straight to the seafood counter and was helped by a guy (I wish I got his name) but he explained to me the different type of oysters they had and what they're known for. I settled for 2 different kinds and got 6 of each for a total of 12 for $12! He asked to give him some time while he shuck them so I went to do more shopping. I went to the pizza counter where they have a whole 1 topping pizza for $12 but it was a 40 min wait since I had a few customers in front of me. I didn't have the time to wait so I went to the sushi counter and grabbed 2 packaged sushi rolls. Each was $11.99 but it was buy 1, get 1 50% off so it was a good deal! I will definitely be back for more oysters! They were fresh and great deal!

My favorite section there is the flower and plant area. When I go with my daughter she always gets me flowers or plants. This time she bought this beautiful, colorful plant with a stunning vase.

But besides those small things it's a solid grocery store. They have a great variety of meat and produce that doesn't go bad like other stores. I love their mark downs when I come on Sunday as well.
