Overpriced pumpkins
Shauna G.

Not smart to shop here and the only thing extra here are their prices. We were turned off by the over priced pumpkins at the door and their "fresh" flower section where 95% of it was all wilted or beyond dead. All the employees here at this location look completely miserable and long lines with only one register open. Would not return, this was our first visit and we were completely disappointed! Went to the 99 cents store and got a pumpkin for half the price of this store as well as cute potted flowers for 1/3 the price of your dead flowers.

in Murrieta, CA. This small warehouse-type store is a good alternative for the big ones. Albeit, items will cost a few cents more here than at the big Whse stores, but if you factor in your gas, your time, the ease of parking, it may be worthwhile. You will find just about anything you are looking for from produce to bakery, wine/spirits. It is always clean, even the restrooms, and that means a lot these covid days. I'm even attaching a photo of the restroom for verification. Lines are short, service good.

The Easter Aisle at Albertsons (Spring, No. 2026)…read more The automatic doors sigh open like the first warm breath of April, and suddenly you've stepped into a pastel wonderland. There, beneath the fluorescent skies of your neighborhood Albertsons, Easter has quietly arrived in all its glorious, sugar-dusted splendor. Towers of chocolate bunnies stand at attention like tiny confectionery sentinels. Bright foil-wrapped eggs glisten in woven baskets, each one a small promise of hidden delight. Jelly beans in every shade the rainbow ever dreamed of, marshmallow Peeps in cheerful rebellion, and glorious spiral-cut hams resting in their Sunday best, ready for the long family table. The flower section bursts with fragrant hyacinths and tender lilies, their perfume mingling with the distant scent of fresh-baked hot cross buns. Plastic grass spills from every display like spring itself has escaped the garden and taken up residence in Aisle 7. One pauses here, basket in hand, among the dyed eggs and chocolate treasures, and remembers simpler times--when Easter morning meant baskets, sticky fingers, and the quiet thrill of discovery. Albertsons has bottled that feeling and placed it neatly between the produce and the dairy case. It's not just groceries. It's Easter. And for a brief, shining moment, the supermarket becomes something almost sacred. A small resurrection, right next to the checkout. Price: A modest $29.99 for a fully loaded Easter basket worthy of the occasion (or $49 for the deluxe version with the spiral ham and fresh lilies). Far less than the memories it creates.

I'm officially done buying meat from Albertsons. This is not the first time I've had an issue with…read moretheir meat department, but today was the final straw. I purchased meat today that was packaged on October 18th and labeled as good until October 24th. Yet somehow, the meat was already gray, disgusting, and looked completely spoiled. And this was sitting on their shelves being sold to customers. I spoke with someone in the butcher department, and their explanation was basically that sometimes bad meat gets through because of "human error." I'm sorry, but that's not an acceptable excuse when you're selling food that people are going to take home and feed their families. What's even worse is that this has happened to me more than once. You really have to inspect their meat carefully because it might look fine sitting in the package, but once you get home and flip it over, you'll discover the entire underside is gray. I've even cut into meat from here only to find the center gray as well. And here's what really gets me: I shop at Sprouts, too, and I've NEVER had this problem with their meat. Not once. So clearly, it's possible to maintain better quality standards. I'm tired of wasting my time and money on meat that I can't even trust. Customers shouldn't have to play detective every time they buy a steak. If you're shopping here, I strongly recommend taking a VERY close look at their meat before purchasing it. From now on, Sprouts will be getting my business when it comes to meat. Albertsons has lost my trust completely. Ambiance Terrible. The bottom of that steak was worse than the top btw

This location is clean and seems to be stocked nicely! I love that they have some great deals once…read morein a while! Today, I got the zebra popcorn for 6$!!!!! This is a 20$ item typically. What an impressive price! Ive only seen this type of madness at grocery outlet! I also got 24 cupcakes for only 3$!!!! Omg! The cashiers here are super friendly and we were agreeing they have cheaper energy drinks and other items. I really liked that when it got busy, they opened up a couple of more registers. That was nice!

Let me start by saying Grocery Outlet is kind of a hobby for my husband and I. We stop at them…read morewhere ever we find them. I visited one in Portland where my son lives. UNTIL last night I visited this location which I often frequent. Without going into ALL the horrific details....... Last night the checkout experience was soooo very horrific because I must of bought too much grocery for one clerk to bag. We had a very negative exchange and a manager came over to ask " if everything was okay ". The clerk lied and said that " I didn't give her the bags so she couldn't bag everything " ‍WHAT!!!!! To make a long story short, I returned EVERYTHING and that process took longer than the checkout. The poor manager couldn't process the refund. So the owner had to actually come in and do it for him. Which was a good thing because she had a chance to find out why her store just lost $265 which contributes to the clerk's paycheck but now she has to pay people to put all this stuff back on the shelves. If I owned a Grocery Outlet, I would never hire people like the woman worked checkout last night. The owner apologized repeatedly. She asked for me to remain a valued customer. I really appreciated that. I think it's sad that sometimes we entrust the wrong people to protect a business reputation and the people who work for you have the power to bring your business down or even cause a lawsuit. I have to also mention that there some really cool people that work there whom I've had a friendly rapport with. So, I've decided not to throw the baby out with the bath water. I'll only shop there if this person isn't working.

When you're wrong, you're wrong and I think I was. Yes, there was a crushed package of tostadas, but stuff happens. Overall, this is a nice store, as I did state. It's always clean, just as one would want from a grocery store.

I love the food court area - Taco Tuesdays are the best if you don't mind the wait in line (I included a pic of 2 dogs waiting in a truck parked out front on Taco Tuesday). I also tried their piña colada smoothie at Café Cardenas and it's huge, it tastes great for a great deal. My only complaint is the unclear pricing/self-checkout attendant for the mandarins. So one day I was here and wanted to get manadrins. There wasn't a price posted, so I sent a guy there to ask for me. He told me $1.29/lb. When I rang it up at self-checkout, it came up as $1.99/lb and when I told the self-checkout attendant there that it should be $1.29 - she said the guy I asked had asked her and it's $1.99, it's what the system says. Other places with good customer service like Ralph's Murrieta would apologize, trust my word, and adjust it. Bad customer service from Cardenas - and the only reason they got 3 instead of 4 stars here.

Thanks to her I was able to get my early Thanksgiving groceries for under $25! A turkey, gravy, orange cranberry relish and mashed potatoes. Thanks again Darlene for your help!

After seeing this store while driving on the highway, hubby and I decided to go and check it out…read more Upon entering the store, we noticed there were two different types of shopping carts for customers to use which were orange or green as well as a dash cart option. Hubby asked employee for more details about the different shopping options and the employee told him customers could shop the "normal way they" pay via self checkout or with a cashier or do the "dash cart" option. Hubby was told that the "dash cart" option was for Amazon Prime members who had their account connected to their bank account. After hubby confirmed his Amazon Prime bank account information, he was given a special cart which allowed him to scan our I'm while shopping for a completely contact-free experience As we walked down the aisles at Amazon Fresh Murrieta, I noticed that some of my favorite items cost substantially more there than elsewhere (e.g Veganaise is $9.99 at store I usually shop but was $11.57 at Amazon Fresh.) Hubby loved scanning his items while shopping and hearing the "ding" sound to signal that the scan was a success. When arriving at the salad bar and hot bar, I was pleasantly surprised to see allergen listed above the hot and salad bar food, I was disappointed by the small amount of vegan friendly bar options which consisted of ingredients to make a salad, vegetable stir fry, an Asian inspired chopped salad, and dolmas. I will admit that there was a bit of a learning curve when using the dash cart for salad bar items but luckily, an employee was nearby to walk us through the process. During our shopping trip, we learned that whenever you plan to purchase an item from the "salad bar," you have to select "add food or code," type in "salad bar," place your box in the back of the cart to have it automatically weighed, then place the box of food in your cart. Though this technology is cool, there we're times when the cart gave an error that we didn't put the item in the cart but this was easily fixed by pressing a button confirming all items weee in the cart. The ambience in the store was pleasant with several employees stocking the shelves, clear digital signage in the aisles, and wide aisles to accommodate several shoppers. My main pet peeve at Amazon Fresh Murrieta was that the store grouped vegan frozen food mixed with non vegan food. I personally would prefer to have vegan frozen food separate but understand that this might not be possible due to freezer space constraints. As hubby prepared to pay for our groceries, he was extremely pleased when he walked through the dash lane and exit, was checked out contact free, and the cart presented him with the choice of if he wanted his store receipt emailed to him. Overall, we both liked the shopping experience because it was interactive and thorough but disliked having to confirm that items purchased were actually in the cart. Likewise, we and would like to see more clearer signage in the hot bar/salad regarding discounts since we were told by an employee that food from there areas were reduced in price during 6pm-7pm but didn't see a discount on our store receipt.
