Pro tip: download the Raley's app to order groceries for online pickup or delivery; if you order a certain dollar amount; you can get free pickup or delivery-super convenient if you have a busy day! Also keep an open for the Monday $5 deals, which can be found in the weekly ads and the app. Drinks and a few other items that are among the $5 can be found just inside the doors on the right side of the store. They have good deals on staples such as water and I like the personalized deals for Something Extra members. It's usually somewhat easy to find a parking spot and when it's not, I don't mind because I like to get my steps in when I can! One thing I'd suggest is to add a 2nd e-cart pickup space to make it easier on workers when the 1st spot is taken but it's no problem to just text them that I'm parked near the e-cart sport and what make/model car to look for when they come out. Thanks!

UPDATE: The store manager reached out to me and offered a very sincere apology to try to rectify…read morewhat happened, which I appreciated and I feel that it is definitely worth noting that she took the time to try and make things right. - - - I was horrified by my experience at this store yesterday. I have lived in the Carmichael area for 10 years and have never experienced anything like this. I went in to purchase a grocery bag and get cash back. For years, cash back has been available at the self-checkout registers. Apparently, that feature was removed two months ago, but there was no signage indicating this. My transaction completed without giving me a cash-back option, so I was confused and thought I had done something wrong. I was the only paying customer in the self-checkout area. The employee assigned there was behind me having a long conversation with someone who had already finished shopping and appeared to be his friend. When I finally asked for help, both turned toward me as though I was inconveniencing them. I explained what happened. The employee curtly told me cash back had been removed two months ago and said I would have to stand in a regular checkout line. When I questioned this, he responded, "Sorry, I don't make the rules. You don't like that? Go use the ATM in the corner." He then condescendingly told me, "You seem like you're having a bad day." It was Sunday, only two cashier lanes were open, and the lines were nearly down the aisles. Instead of offering any assistance, he continued standing near a register only a few feet away while talking to his friend. I asked to speak with a manager because I did not appreciate how I was being treated. The employee initially told me the manager was not there on weekends. After I asked whether there was seriously no supervisor in the entire store, he called an assistant manager. The assistant manager came downstairs without a name tag, never introduced himself, and never gave me his name. This is where the situation became completely unacceptable. As I moved away from self-checkout to speak privately with the assistant manager, the employee's friend followed me. He positioned himself approximately two feet away, listened to my conversation, smirked, and repeatedly interrupted. I politely asked the assistant manager to have him give me space. Instead, this man began insulting me while I was trying to explain my complaint. He called me a "weirdo" and "crazy," said I had "issues," mocked my jewelry and facial piercings, and said, "Why don't you go get another weird f--ing piercing?" He repeatedly talked over me to tell management that I was the problem and his friend had done nothing wrong. I asked the assistant manager directly, "Are you seriously going to stand here and allow another customer to follow me over here, call me names, and insult my appearance?" He did nothing. The other customer repeatedly mentioned that he personally knew the owner, saying things like, "Let Joyce know it's [name], I've known her for over 20 years." After that, the assistant manager became increasingly hostile toward me, raised his voice, and demanded, "Okay, so at this point, what do you want me to do about it?" When I asked again why he was allowing this person to stand behind me and verbally abuse me, the manager defended him, saying, "He has a right to stand behind you" and claiming I was the one who addressed him. Ironically, while the manager was saying this, the man was behind me calling me a "f--ing weirdo." The assistant manager witnessed none of the original interaction, yet immediately defended his employee and the employee's friend without reviewing cameras or, as far as I could tell, making any effort to determine what actually happened. Whether management agrees with a customer's complaint is beside the point. Allowing another customer--especially someone who appears personally connected to an employee and claims to know the owner--to follow a customer, interfere with a complaint to management, curse at them, call them names, and mock their appearance while management stands by is completely unacceptable. I never cursed at this man or insulted his appearance in return. I was trying to speak with management about an employee interaction and was subjected to personal attacks while the assistant manager refused to intervene. If you are LGBTQ+, goth/metal, have facial piercings, or simply look different, I would think twice about shopping here based on how I was treated. No customer should be mocked or humiliated because of their appearance. I left the store in tears, feeling bullied, humiliated, and embarrassed. After 10 years of living in this community, I never expected to be treated this way at a neighborhood grocery store. I will not spend another dollar at Raley's or Bel Air after this experience.

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience at Four Season Market in Sacramento, CA was upsetting…read moreand honestly concerning as a parent. I purchased clearance food items that I later realized -- without even opening them -- were clearly not fresh and not safe to eat. This is especially serious to me because I have children, and I rely on stores to sell food that is safe for families. What makes this worse is that I was told in the store that these products were "safe" and that employees buy them themselves. When I returned to request a refund, one associate initially said it would be accepted. However, the same employee who originally reassured me suddenly refused, became visibly upset, and told me "it's the law" that they cannot take the items back. That statement is misleading -- stores cannot avoid responsibility for selling food that is not safe for consumption. On top of that, during the same visit I was overcharged for other items compared to the posted prices, which added to my frustration and concern about how this business operates. This was not just poor customer service -- it raises serious concerns about food safety and consumer rights. I strongly recommend that others carefully inspect any items before purchasing here and double-check prices at checkout.

Bravo, Smart & Final, you've won back my business! About three months ago I posted a review and…read moreshared that the loitering in the parking lot made me feel unsafe. I shopped here again yesterday and was pleased to see a clean and safe parking lot. THANK YOU! I'm such a fan of your stores and brand, so am really excited to be able to use my local store again. I shopped on a super hot Saturday afternoon, so had the store to myself. I completed my weekly shopping trip and found everything I was looking for. The grocery costs were significantly lower than the local competition I've been shopping with this past year. I did purchase many of the Smart & Final brands. The really exciting price coup? The San Merican Tomatoes were on sale for only $2.49 a can (buy 4). That's $4 less per can than my normal grocery and $3.51 cheaper than a global delivery company. Of course I had to stock up on this NYT Wirecutter best tasting canned tomato. As usual, the store was tidy, displays easy to access and the cashier's so friendly. Smart & Final - glad to have you back as my regular grocery store!

FoodMaxx -- The Prices Had Me Confused…read more I'm not too familiar with FoodMaxx and honestly haven't shopped here too many times, so maybe I'm just not familiar with how they do things. I always had the impression that FoodMaxx was supposed to be one of those low-price grocery stores, kinda like WinCo. But walking through this location, I started feeling like the prices were backwards somehow. Some things that are normally expensive were actually pretty cheap, while some things that I would expect to be inexpensive were surprisingly expensive. I'm standing there looking at the shelves like, "Wait... am I reading this right?" For example, Atkins Strong Bars are normally $10+ around here, but they were noticeably cheaper at this location. Definitely not complaining about that one! Then I see a small bottle of Crystal hot sauce for like $3-$4, while the large bottle was $1.99. Again, I'm NOT complaining about the large bottle being cheaper! But it definitely had me questioning the pricing strategy. Overall, the store was fine and I found what I needed. I just expected the prices to be more consistently on the lower end based on what I've heard about FoodMaxx. Maybe I caught some weird pricing on the day I went, or maybe that's just how they roll. I'll probably stop in again and give it another shot. Maybe next time the grocery-price universe will make a little more sense.

It was impressive to see how efficiently they handled it without making the customer feel embarrassed. Great customer service, clean store, and genuinely friendly employees.

The only downside is you will become addicted to some staples that are only found at Trader Joe's. Don't say I didn't warn ya.

Love the layout of this Trader Joe's!…read more As usual there were a lot of shoppers in Trader Joe's. But it did not feel crowded even though I visited on a popular shopping day and time. If I were at my Folsom, Trader Joe's, I would be shoulder to shoulder with shoppers :-). The store was well stocked. Except for cottage cheese. I have found Folsom Trader Joe's to routinely be out of cottage cheese also. It is the best tasting cottage cheese I have ever had. I guess a lot of people feel the same. Additionally, this area, like Folsom and surrounding nearby areas, is experiencing a large population explosion. And I am sure it is a challenge to keep shelves filled. When I checked out, I asked about the seemingly different layout of this particular TJ and the chronic cottage cheese shortage. The checker said that cottage cheese disappears so fast they're only allowed to put out one pallet a day. And he confirmed that the layout is different than most Trader Joe's because they have a very creative, awesome manager who is really good at those type of things! Like my TJs in Folsom... customer service is wonderful here. And parking sucks:).

Ice Blocks, Arden and Watt, the one by Sac State, and the one in Fair Oaks. They all fry them up the same. I pick the bigger pieces because they are just juicier... with that crisp coat. Not too salty. Seasoned great. The Nashville Hot is mild but still has a nice spice-heat. The Fair Oaks Safeway in Dewey doesn't have a Chinese food section. I normally get a side of chow mein to go-with. This time I paired the tenders with hamburger buns/cheese/cucumber/jalapeno: a lemony angel hair pasta and egg salad from the Safeway deli. Oh,and a honey mustard-mayo dip. The deli people are so nice about letting you pick out the pieces you want. The regular price is $9.99/lb. Because it was a $5 Friday we got 6 huge pieces for a little over $7. One of the best deals in town. Mark your calendars and hit up your local Safeway.
