As a reminder, awhile ago now my pals at Grocery Outlet asked if I’d be game to try running monthly giveaways here at the blog! This is month 2 of 3, so please do let me know what you think about having not only a monthly Grocery Outlet list, but a once-monthly chance to win a Grocery Outlet gift card!
I stopped in at the South Tacoma store on 56th yesterday and wanted to report on what I found. (By the way, if you’re at all local – DO stop in. 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.
Kashi Heart-to-Heart Cereal $1.49
This is a really fantastic price and happens to be my favorite cereal! I love it with almond milk, and it’s even better with a handful of wild blackberries! I’ve also purchased about 6 boxes to date… 
Chex Mix $0.79
Aveeno Baby Sunscreen $5.99
Assorted Anti-Aging Skin Care Products…cheap!!
You can always count on Grocery Outlet for CHEAP skin care products, and NICE ones at that! I found one item priced at $7.99 that’s normally about $119. Yup, this is quite typical for what you’ll find there!
Cupcake soap $0.99
I’ve reported on this deal before, and it’s still good! This stuff smells amazing and would make nice gifts! Check out the soap next to it for $1.99 – elsewhere it’d be $9.95! I currently have some goat milk soap in my shower caddy that I purchased at where else? Grocery Outlet!
Limes $0.20 each
Bananas, 3 lb Bag $1.99
Corn 3/$0.99
Green Peppers $0.50 and Red Peppers $0.59! (The others were $1.50, I believe)
One thing you should know about Grocery Outlet’s produce: they sell everything by quantity or package, not weight. So you’ll know exactly what the bag of onions, bag of peaches, or container of strawberries will cost.
Kumato Brown Tomatoes $2
Check these out – aren’t they beautiful? They remind me much of the chocolate cherry tomatoes I’m growing in my garden! I have this thing about tomatoes too – I always HAVE to smell them. I think this comes from having grown my own before – you just KNOW the difference between garden-fresh and well…not so garden-fresh. Let me tell you, these smelled so fragrant!
Cilantro, Radishes, Green Onions, Cucumbers $0.50 each
Sea Salts, Gourmet $2.99 (elsewhere $14!)
This deal has been around for awhile! I recently picked up a bottle of the lemon sea salt and used it to top off some steamed chard from my garden. The flavor was amazing!
Mt. Vikos Feta Cheese $3.99 (save up to $11! WOW!)
So I found lots and LOTS of cheeses on sale at my Grocery Outlet store…. observe.
Pilgrim’s Londoner English Cheddar or Red Leicester Cheese $1.99
(This particular variety was running close to date, so you’d want to plan on using it up or freezing it)
Goat Cheese Log $1.99 (elsewhere $5.99!)
Precious Mozzarella Balls $1.99 (elsewhere $5.99)
Havarti Plain $1.49 (elsewhere $5.49)
My children love Havarti so I did pick up a couple of these blocks!
Sausage…of all kinds!
Johnsonville Kielbasa $1.99
Johnsonville Chicken Sausage $2.99
Gourmet Chicken Sausages $2.99 (my husband likes these)
Small Cut Pasta (small bags) $0.39
Macaroni & Cheese (a brand I’ve never heard of) $0.39 (we still bought a couple)
Canned Dolmas (Stuffed Grape Leaves) $1.49
I can’t say I’ve ever seen this product, anywhere. Is it good?
Fiber One Brownies $0.99
That is a fabulous deal for this item! Even better than what you’d typically find with a sale and a coupon!
Gingerbread Man Cookie Mix $0.69
Yoplait Greek Yogurt Cups $0.50
Brown Cow Greek Yogurt Cups $0.50
Butter, 1 lb $1.99
Smuckers Jam (large jar) $1.99
Marathon Snickers Bar $0.33
Cabana Red Wine $2.99
You can always find fantastic wine at Grocery Outlet for a fraction of the price! The wine department is actually one of my favorites in the store – check it out!
Here is another wine from Argentina for just $3.99 and you’d find it elsewhere for around $9.99.
I had a special helper join me yesterday to scout out Grocery Outlet…my lil’ Duke of Deals.
And here is a look at what I bought for just under $50! This cart full of food contains lots of produce, some cheese, hummus, my favorite Kashi cereal, a few treats, my favorite dairy-free fig bars for $0.50 each!, whole wheat bread, sausage, a box of super yummy GF crackers, oatmeal, and more. Would you believe I saved about $75? And nary a coupon in sight!
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.

3 or 4 weeks ago, I bought like 8 bags of Fritos there because they had them for $1.99. They’re usually nearly $4 a bag, so half price was a great deal for me!
Huge fun of Grocery Outlet, I shop at several locations. Recently picked up ready to heat up packages of Indian dishes like eggplant and vegetable rice at $1.09. Went back for more eggplant, but sold out. Great prices on produce and cheeses, too.
the nearest Grocery Outlet to me is about an hour away – but everything is about an hour away! I especially like their frozen section – great prices! And I love your monthly giveaways, even though I haven’t benefitted (yet)!
Keep up the good work!
I love Grocery Outlet! There is one right down the road from where I work.My best score recently was finding granola thins for .99 a box ! Such a perfect time to stock up for back to school snacks.
I love to find the deals on cheese…=0)
I went into Grocery Outlet for only second time ever while visiting Paso Robles, CA a couple of weeks ago. A friend and I went and it was THEE most enlightening experience I had ever had. I’m pretty sure people thought we were intoxicated, but instead we were just fascinated with all the things we could find for a really good deal. For sure visiting more here in WA. P.S. My friend bought me a reusable grocery bag to remind me of our shopping trip. Grocery Outlet…..Bargain Market!!
I love that Grocery Outlet usually has great deals on vegetarian and even vegan “specialty/convenience” items that I can’t afford at the regular grocery stores – veggie-burgers, frozen pizzas, TV-dinner-type things. I don’t use these a lot but it’s always nice to have a couple on hand for last minute meals.
My kids enjoy the fun toys there. We picked up a battery operated bubble wand for $2.99 that worked so much better than the one we purchased from another store for over $10. They have great finds!
I love all the great deals at Grocery Outlet!
I like shopping there because there are always so many good deals! I am about 20 minutes away and when I go into town that is my first stop to do my grocery shopping. Really like the way the store is set up and the very friendly staff! Keep up the good work!
Grocery Outlet always has fun new finds! Such great deals, too!
I typically hit the dairy aisle every time I shop at GABM. I regularly find Almond milk and/or Coconut milk in the 1/2 gal containers for $1.99, and coffee creamer for $0.99. Sometimes they even have greek yogurt for 2 or 3 for $1.00.
My GA usually has great deals on eggs ($1.39 or less per dozen, varying from week to week), as well as frozen dinners & meal kits (which are what my spouse prefers to take to work for his lunches).
I always stock up on canned fruit while I’m there as well. While the selection changes, I can almost always find applesauce, diced pears, or mixed fruit in the mini cans/cups, which are perfect as a kid’s afternoon snack. If I’m diligent, I can usually find no sugar added products as well, which is a super score when you’re getting this stuff at such a discount!
Love this store… it sure helps me stretch my grocery budget!
I like going to Grocery Outlet because my 2 year old likes to pic out all her fruits she wants to eat. I like going there because you get some many great deals on groceries. He really helps out with my grocery bill. Thanks for being there for me and my daughter.
I just like this page on facebook. I had never heard about it. I love bargains and cant wait to try ou this store.
SAVINGS!
I love searching for bargains! I really appreciate the amount of natural & organic items they stock.
I’ve never shopped there but get the ads…so happy you did a post since its a lil bit of a drive to go there unless I could get some great deals. Will definitely be planning a trip there to check it out.
I went and got fresh mozzarella after you posted this love to put in my pasta salad
I haven’t shopped there in years, but your post makes me want to check them out again.
I love deals deals deals!! I have 4 kids and deals are a must! I love their H&B, cereal, frozen foods….you name it!!
I always go crazy for the cheese there!
My husband loves, loves, loves Gouda Cheese. They sell sliced Gouda at a good price. When they are out of it, my hubby makes a poutty face and throws a tantrum right there in the store. Lol
I love the savings!
I’ve never been and it looks like an interesting place to check out.
OMG I am laughing as I was at that same Grocery Outlet yesterday I swear right after you took these pics cause I grabbed a couple of those peppers! The special salts looked exactly like the picture;) I love shopping at this store, and you are right they are the friendliest of all the stores I shop! Sad that I missed the mozzarella balls, they would be yummy with those Kumato Brown tomatoes….I might have to make another trip today~
I’m headed to my Hollywood/off Sandy Blvd Grocery Outlet this afternoon. I need canned tomato products – paste, sauce, chopped… that is what got me going to Grocery Outlet in the first place. Prices are affordable, I find interesting products, and I save money on staples like the tomato products I keep stocked for later use. I always look for deals on pet food also. I’ve found the Hollywood Store is more apt to have dog and cat food than others I’ve been to.
I have shopped at Grocery Outlet for years and have come to know where they all are in the Portland, McMinnville, Salem, Vancouver, and Longview, Centralia areas. I like checking out the various ones when I am in that area as they don’t always carry the same thing.
Just found Wild Salmon, precut in the frozen section for 3.99! Good deal! Love Grocery Outlet!
We LOVE G.O.! With a household of 5 gluten free people we always love finding gluten free items there.
I love that the inventory changes! They have great prices on handy snacks for car trips
I LOVE that you found Fiber One Brownies for $.99!! They are usually about $2.50 every where else! And I still have a $.50 coupon! I’m moving close to a Grocery Outlet soon and I will definitely have to check it out! Thank you for sharing! I’d love the gift card for my exploring the store trip!
Love finding good dark chocolate for decent prices!
I would like to go to grocery outlet – this is the first i’ve heard of them and there is a store about 10 miles from me. I am hoping to find good grocery deals for my daughrter and I to eat healthier!
We don’t go there very often, but when we do I always check the organic section. I love finding goodies there!
I love being able to find organic products that do not break my wallet.
I’m fortunate to have a Grocery Outlet close to home! Produce and frozen dinners are two things I like to pick up cheap!
