A couple weeks ago my pals at Grocery Outlet asked if I’d be game to try running monthly giveaways here at the blog! So we’re going to try this for three months and if you’re in favor – whoop, hollar, jump up and down – and this three-month trial may turn into a more permanent fixture!
So here’s what I found yesterday at the South Tacoma store on 56th. (By the way, if you’re at all local – DO stop in. I adore this store and the team that run it! They’re super friendly!) Before we get started, I should mention that these stores are locally owned and operated and that some of the deals may vary by store. Use this post as an idea of what you might find, but know that your local store may differ in their selection and/or pricing.

New to Grocery Outlet? Remember they are a different kind of grocery store, offering deep discounts on food through relationships they have with stores and manufacturers. Because of this, the manufacturers do not permit customers to redeem coupons at Grocery Outlet. However, Grocery Outlet does put out store coupons from time to time. For more information, please read my initial review trip from last summer as well as my trip to Berkeley last fall where I met with the Grocery Outlet corporate team.

I so need to go check out if my GO has the ABC pasta. I’ve been wanting to throw a little of that into some foods for my daughter for the fun of it, but fun at the conventional price isn’t fun at all. GO is so often my “run someplace to pick up dinner tonight” place that I don’t take the time to check out the rest of the deals. sometimes.
I love the fact that you can get organic goodies at rock-bottom prices at Grocery Bargain outlet. My favorite finds include Mother’s organic version of Lucky Charms (no artificial junk), Nature’s Path toaster pastries, and CedarLane entrees at 1/3 to 1/2 the price of other stores.
We’ve just started shopping at our Grocery Outlet. The ‘splurge items’ at our previous store can now become staples for us. It’s exactly the kind of help we need in the current economy.
We have tried so many stores while on the road…we drive 18 wheeler and deliver to many who won’t allow us to park this “monster of a truck” after making our delivery so that I may stock up…really would love to shop at Grocery Outlet.
As a family, we shop every Sunday at Grocery Outlet. My daughter who doesn’t really care for chicken absolutely LOVES the bacon and cheese stuffed chicken breast in the fresh meat section. I am a huge fan of the Foster Farm ready to cook turkey breast. Just pop it in the oven for 90 minutes and perfect. I also love the huge selection of vitamins, shampoos and body wash. I can try things I normally wouldn’t because of the tremendous values. Our Grocery Outlet in Yuba City has the most wonderful staff. They greet us by name and make shopping there awesome!
I first started shopping at grocery outlet when it was still known as “Canned Foods.” Over the years they’ve continued to add reasons to always shop there FIRST, and whenever I move I check to see where the closest Grocery outlet will be from me. Not only do I consistently save more than I spend, but my roommates invariably ask me where I got my goodies and I get to tell them what a great deal I got on them! I think the most exciting thing for me recently has been the growing wine selections. It makes it easy to be adventurous on a budget. I won’t say don’t ever change because what you have changed makes my life easier and better, but I will say don’t change the focus because it has made me a lifelong customer.
