Cash & Carry

This is a great store. I don’t make it over to this side of town often, but when I do, I make sure to stop by Cash and Carry. It’s like every store, you’ve gotta be an informed consumer and know your prices. Some are great deals and some aren’t. My husband works in a restaurant, and they buy some of their products from this store as well.
They have mostly restaurant products, some equipment and cleaning supplies, and bulk items. If I’m buying dried spices, I can buy them in bigger containers than a typical store. I also buy flavored syrups for my coffee here.
The staff is amazing here. I went in once right after surgery with my mom for some stuff, and we bought a pretty decent amount of products. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to lift much because of the surgery. It was annoying to me not to be able to do something as basic as bending to lift groceries into the trunk of my car, but I was stuck. I asked for help, and an employee was called to take care of it. I thanked him profusely and explained the issue, as there is nothing obviously wrong with me. He was more than happy to help and did so with a great attitude. It’s not a courtesy that they offer to customers, but if it is required, they will happily do it.
It’s a store I’ve gone to many times, and will return to again. I always find some bulk items that aren’t in a typical grocery store at great prices. Plus the customer service is definitely worth the drive!

i have been shopping here at this store for about the last year since i was told about it and i have been loving the wholesale prices as i have a family of 5 to feed. i have had great interactions with the staff at the store such as kim who i believe is the assistant manager and a few other staff who’s names i can’t recall. today i came in for an item and it wasn’t in stock which is unusual when i go. after finding out they don’t have rainchecks i was disappointed. i had been having a particularly bad day for other reasons and misunderstood something. when i was practically in tears, mike who is an assistant manager, consoled me and helped me out which was above and beyond expected. he said he just wanted to have me leaving smiling. it wasn’t his fault that my day was going rough but he treated me more than wonderful. i’m just a mom shopping at the store trying to have enough food to feed my family, not a restaurant owner but i feel that cash and carry, and especially mike, deserves a shout out. thanks again for such wonderful customer service. i’m sure to keep shopping there and tell all my family about the great hot sheet specials when i see them. thank you guys for being my number one grocery store. :D

The staff is great, very friendly and helpful. A very nice selection of pretty much everything you need!

This place is great. We have a big family and buying in bulk really helps. Also their produce is always fresh.
One great thing to buy here is toilet paper, for the price you pay, you can’t really find it anywhere else.
The staff is also friendly and helpful.

Love Cash & Carry! I was buying blended Red Bull drinks at Dutch Btos for $ 4.50 each… Then I learned I could purchase Red Bull & the flavoring at C&C for for half the cost that I was spending at the coffee shop! Because I was saving so much on the ingredients, I could also purchase cups, lids & straws and still saved money! My only recommendation is to not go shopping there while your hungry because they have an incredible assortment of candy & snack foods! But, can save money purchasing those items also! They have excellent customer service & are always helpful!

I love C & C too: you can get a huge shopping bag there that holds like the amount of about 3 grocery bags. I bought them to give as gifts!
You want to steer clear or get there before any big event like the Country Fair, because they will be crowded to the gills & cleaned out. Same with WM but I’m proud to say I don’t even go there anymore.
Sometimes you can get a sweet deal there if your eyes are open: like on Dave’s Bread, 2 for $ 5. Maybe it’s when it’s near it’s «date» but you could always freeze it if you double bag it (his bread seems to only be single bagged).
I love to go up & down the aisles, getting a good look for inspiration & to see if anything jumps out at me as a really good price. I’ve picked up some things for the kitchen, like the round metal things for making fried eggs.
It’s alot more fun going there than it is to go to Freddies/​Albies/​Safeway. But you need to know your normal price points so you don’t accidentally splurge on the wrong thing. Be sure to check out the produce cooler. If you enjoy meats, see the selection of sausages, etc. And if you like to buy for the freezer for game night: check out the frozen section of snacks etc. Just be sure to know your price thresholds.

Best option to Costco.. .in some ways better than Costco. Great prices, clean store and good customer service.

It’s clean, well organized and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Costco has better prices on some items but I prefer the ease of
getting in and out of C&C faster.

I’m really, really torn on writing a review for C & C. On the one hand, this place makes Costco look like Mark-​Up City! On the other, a visit here is a depressing insight into the harsh reality that is factory farming in the U.S. I land on a solid 3 stars for my review because, if you need to buy in bulk, and are willing to search out your ingredient of choice, you might just find it! And, if you do, I don’t think there’s a better deal to be had than at the Cash & Carry.
My first visit here was in search of white wine vinegar. I pickle a lot of things, you see, and this (2011) year marked the first in which supermarket sizing no longer suited my projects’ scope. After months of searching the interwebz, pestering Culinaria Eugenius, and poking around local supermarkets in the Yewj, the only viable option that cropped up was the C & C. When I phoned them to inquire as to their white wine vinegar options, I was stoked beyond belief to learn that for~ $ 4.50/gallon I could stock up there.
Upon arrival at the warehouse location, I was pleased to see that, yes, WWV was available! A quick check of the label, though, revealed that there was some sort of odd preservative as the third ingredient. Aw, c’mon now… really? Why does vinegar need a preservative?
I hemmed, and hawed, but ultimately decided against the purchase. Even though the price was under $ 5, I couldn’t justify all the work I was going to put in the kitchen just to add preservatives to pickles from my organic garden.
The hubs and I perused some of the other pantry staples there, and decided that it was definitely worthy of a return trip. Meanwhile, though, we’re probably more of the Hummingbird Wholesale types.

This is such a cool place. I came here to pick up stuff to make my own version of Dutch Bro’s «Infused Redbull» .they had everything I needed! The plastic straws/​cups/​lids/​syrup and redbull by the bulk. All for a reasonable price.

Not everything is more affordable here but the things that are more affordable makes this place worth the drive. Great for large families or those into bulk.

Cash & Carry is geared towards commercial food service buyers, but if you want wholesale packaging and pricing and the savings that come with them, this is the place to go. It feels a lot like the old Waremart stores used to, which is both good and bad.
It’s a no-​frills operation geared towards businesses rather than consumers, so if you want to ask a lot of questions, use coupons, etc. this may not be the place for you.
Current specials include an 18-​pound box of frozen hash browns for $ 8.88 and Foster Farms deli-​style turkey breasts for $ 1.48 a pound. Just the place for those feeding a dozen hungry kids on a budget, or maybe planning a huge picnic, BBQ, or just inclined to freeze stuff and save a little money. Think of it as a small, downscale Costco but without the annual membership charge and the acres of electronics, clothes, and other non-​food crap.
Quality is not a strength of Cash & Carry, but there are some surprisingly good-​tasting offerings in that freezer case… as well as some big-​time losers. Either way, the best way to buy this stuff is when you’re planning to feed someone else with it. I do sometimes purchase the huge packages of food service meat to feed my dog, though. If he has any complaints he has yet to verbalize them.
Cash & Carry will burn in hell for their aisle of styrofoam products though. I have never seen so much of the stuff in one place.

The Cash & Carry store is basically a wholesale grocer for restaurants, but is also open to the general public. If you’re looking for larger sizes – #10 cans of vegies, 25-​lb. bags of flour, large cuts of meat, etc. – this is the place to go. They have some restaurant equipment and cleaning supplies, too. They close early, but are open 7 days a week.
