The lengthy title says it all: Sunshine Salvage Amish Discount Grocery & Country Store…read more In the middle of Monte Vista, CO lies this moderate looking store. There could be another sign or two advertising the place, however, Google Maps will lead you strait to it. A very nice Amish woman laughed at my cowboy's jokes and asked me if I was related to another local. To my knowledge, I am not! Lol. The parking lot was gravel with unmarked spaces. A sleepy dog with wavy yellowish-brown hair greeted us gently, but immeditely went back to snoozing. Inside the semi-dusty country store was a surprising amount of everything one could possibly need in a pinch: + dried beans and pastas + nuts and all the baking goods + pie filling + canned goods + household supplies + personal hygiene items + cold drinks and snacks + cat/dog commodities I picked up a jar of locally-made blackberry jam, apple cider vinegar, and drinks for the kids all for under $13. Keep in mind that items like dented canned goods and some smashed packaged items are sold with deep discounts. They do not sell much meat aside from the canned variety. I paid cash for our items, but they do accept plastic. I will definitely be here in the future. TIP The store is open daily except on Sunday 9AM-5PM. Also, their bakery is open only a few days of the week which we sadly missed out on.

The second I walk into this place I loose my appetite. At least it helps me save money because I…read morehardly buy anything. The added fried food deli is the absolute worst to info they could have done. You can smell it outside before the doors even open. Smells like they don't change the oil often and burn a lot of stuff. I try to avoid going to this store now unless I absolutely need to because every time I leave feeling sick to my stomach.

I always thought that buying meat at the butcher is expensive. I was wrong! I always bought beef…read moreshort ribs at Sam's Club (a 5 minute drive from my former house) to make Korean bbq. Since moving to the San Luis Valley, Sam's Club is not accessible to me anymore (unless I drive 2-1/2 hours to Pueblo), so I looked into Valley Meat. The price of their beef short ribs is actually comparable, if not less expensive. I've also bought pork belly, and they cut them to however I want them. Meats that are not available at Walmart, City Market or Safeway, I buy them at the Valley Meat Market. Recently, I bought ox tail there. I have two large German Shepherd dogs. I buy quartered raw femur bones regularly at Valley Meat with prices that do not break the bank. My dogs love them!!! I have to mention that the folks at the meat market are also very nice and friendly. As soon as you walk in, someone will immediately help you. If you do not like to wait, give them a call and place your order. Just let them know when you want to pick up, they'll have your order ready for you. Try them...they have excellent fresh meat!!!

Great selection of meat and this is my go to place when I need to get anything meat related.read more

If you're thinking about Walmart Supercenter in Alamosa, CO, you better Ala-WHOA-sa on those…read moreexpectations, y'all. So perhaps I'm being too critical. Then again, I don't think I am. Here's all the irritatin' s*** about this place: - parking... nobody from the onslaught of Subarus to the ginormous lifted pickup trucks knows how to park between the lines - per usual Walmart fashion, choosing a decently rolling cart is a chore - getting assistance from an employee is less likely than your contracting the plaque - most things my cowboy needs or desires they are out of or in extremely limited supply. Go figure. - loser teenage girls walking around scoffing because "they can't steal something when it's behind the glass." - 9 times out of 10 no one is working the counter in the sporting goods section PROS + lowest prices in town + we love the Asian guy who was working the pharmacy side exit on Father's Day 2023... where is he? Such a nice man.

Their customer service. The girl at the self check out had no idea about customer service. There…read morewas no sign posted at the entrance of the self checkout that it was limited to 15 items and the sign at the register itself was above my head and I didn't see it. The employee comes to me after I had started scanning my groceries and said it's 15 items like the sign says. I said sorry I didn't see the sign and said since I've started can I finish she rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders then when I got to 15 items it stopped letting me scan until she came over to scan her badge. She could have handled that so differently! If she would have said to me when I was starting"I'm sorry but it will only let you scan 15 items" I would have said ok and went to another checkout. I just counted my items and checked out 2 more times and finished my scanning. There is a really nice grocery store up the street that I will spend my next 300.00 for groceries!

Rainbow Grocery is one of my favorite places in South Fork because my parents used to stop here…read morebefore we headed to our yearly, favorite camping spot which I will never disclose for their peace and respect. It's near the cutoff on the way to Creede on Highway 160 which had some gnarly potholes as of August 9, 2024. I thought CDOT was supposed to have those repaired this summer?! Lol. This place has really nice staff members. My favorite buys: + fuel + ice + last-minute groceries + fishing licenses + fishing gear / bait + some hunting gear / tools It's still got the same old rainbow sign. Nostalgia is cool when it reminds me of my family trips when I got to skip school for two weeks. Perks of being an 80s baby.

Jack's Market is the go-to grocery store with most of the locals in La Jara, CO…read more My first visit ever was on 9/3/2023. While I wasn't blown away by this smallish place, it was a nice store. Not bizarrely expensive. Here's a few items we bought: - Butter pecan ice cream tub $4.59 - Russet potatoes (3-lbs) $1.99 - Bbq sauce $1.59 The lady who checked us out was friendly and funny. Large, "seedless" watermelons were on sale $4.98 each. They and the rest of the produce looked decent. I was able to slake my thirst that warm afternoon with some good bottles sweet tea out of Amarillo, TX, called Panhandle Pure ($1.09). Western Union is available here. There used to be a lady who would sell her homemade tamales here out of her car. I sure wish she would come back!

Overall I was pleasantly surprised to find Jack's, seeing as I'd completely -- with the exception…read moreof one package of strawberries -- forgotten to pack any of the groceries we bought for the camping trip. I couldn't explain it, I think I had my priorities totally wrong (or right, depending on your perspective), because I packed every last can of beer in the house. Food? Who needed food? As a general note, the little town of Antonito is located somewhere in the middle of nowhere, and Jack's is the best or only grocery store, anywhere. What we discovered: - A decent selection of produce - The occasional organic option, like milk and butter - Friendly and slightly spooky employees - More beer, and other adult drinks, there's a connected liquor store - Hunting and fishing licenses and gear - Firewood, nature's beer buddy - A public restroom (campers, rejoice!) - DVD rentals, because of course - Chile roasting, yes, it was Labor Day weekend Also, there's a "Nite Club" across the street. Someday, I want to spend a nite there.
