Grocery Outlet Bargain Market

Grocery outlet is amazing, great deals if you shop smartly, friendly employees, and drawings for gift cards! Its not the best produce you’ll find, but it does the job and you can’t really complain with the price.
This place is such a miracle for those who have low or fixed incomes, thank you grocery outlet! If you like grocery outlet, you might also like winco which is larger, priced similarly, and gives all full-​time employees shares in the company so its almost employee owned.

This is the fourth Grocery Outlet location I’ve visited, and they’re all basically the same to me. I like the fact that they’re slightly smaller than some of the area competitors, and you can find some really good deals. Obviously they aren’t going to carry as wide of a selection as other grocery stores, so you may not be able to get everything on your list. It’s set up in the fashion of a warehouse store like Costco or Sam’s Club, and a lot of the items are in boxes stacked on the floor. There are several products in the dry/​canned section plus they also have frozen food, meat, bread, wine, and household items.
There aren’t many checkout lanes, but there wasn’t a lengthy wait. Cashiers are friendly and always tell you the amount you saved. If you’re military, this is a $ 3 discount on purchases over $ 35.

Well, this place is much better than the Tacoma store. Friendly staff, well stocked with healthy food at good prices, well organized. Excellent customer service. Wish all Grocery Outlets were run as well as this.

I love coming to this store before other grocery stores, and yes you may not find everything your looking for. They have discount prices, and its like thrift shopping, finding that treasure food item on sale. But if you find something you like, buy alot of them because they might not have it next time you come in. Secert don’t tell all your friends. If you like power bars they have boxes cheaper then anywhere. Staff is friendly most of the time. They have a gluten free organics section.

Their dead-​pan advertising humor cracks me up. Seriously look at their signs. Great gluten free, and even organic food choices at times if you’re on a budget– which isn’t everyone? One day their receipt printer savings was broken or something because my grocery bill was $ 25.00 and it was printed that «You saved $ 3,694.88 on your purchases today.» Haha. G. O you are so fly that I feel like I saved that much. Your staff are also down to earth and genuinely nice hardworking people.
Love you guys!

Place is cheap. The staff is friendly and nice. The Customers are aggressive pushy and rude. But if you want good stuff for cheap come here. It’s great on the budget. You won’t always find it here but you should always try here first. Just prepare yourself to meet some really rude Olympians.

Cheap wine, cheap everything! This is my go to place for vitamins, booze, and not-​so-​expirables. Almost everything here is close to it’s sell by date in the cooler sections, though– so take note and be a cautious buyer! (ie– «Will I really eat this for dinner in the next 2 days?») Usually they have some good vegetarian/​vegan finds in the coolers and frozen areas. I like that a lot. :)

I like the store and you can often find high-​end frozen stuff for a fraction of the cost. I don’t really jump on the bread because it looks sort of old and the produce looks a bit wilted for my tastes. The employees are generally quite knowledgeable and friendly. I realize it’s the nature of the business but man are there some dirty smelly people who always seem to be there when I am. I have smelt some horrible hippy nasty stink in there. There grocery carts are also wholesale finds I’m sure but they are getting a bit run down and mangled and scuzzy. So I don’t always shop there for those reasons. Fix or buy new carts, spray some Febreeze twice and hour and I’ll be there more often.

I’ve been coming here for years when I come to Olympia. As elsewhere, they are a great money saver. Awesome prices and usually have 90% of what I am looking for.

This place isn’t fancy, but they do have AWESOME prices on whatever they carry. They don’t have a large selection, but they have the basics at discounted prices. They carry some amazing crab cakes in the frozen section, which I highly recommend.

This place really made my dollar stretch back when I was a single college student living with five buddies. Between the six of us we probably had fifty bucks for groceries each month after paying for college out of pocket. We made casseroles, meat loaf, soup, you name it from the canned and frozen stuff we bought from Grocery Outlet.
We never knew what was going to be cheap from day to day, so I [the group cook] became really good at making just about anything. When you’re broke, you aren’t going to be picky. We sure weren’t!
Our favorite time of the year was Thanksgiving. We would always go to Turkey Bowling and we would bowl with a a frozen turkey in order to win coupons and free food. The Grocery Outlet sure served us well in our poor college student days and we still shop there occasionally.

You never know what you’ll find! I would never buy meat or produce here but it’s a nice place to get treats like Amy’s frozen burritos or sabra hummus on the cheap.

Grocery Outlet, where I always wish I had gone when I spend 60 bucks I don’t have at Safeway or Bayview Thriftway. Don’t expect what you need to be there, but I recommend going there first and then buying the rest somewhere else. Most of the time, they have exactly what I wanted. It then makes me cry softly when I think back to the wasted 5 bucks on that crappy Stouffer’s (Stoner’s) mac n cheese when Gross Out is currently selling it for 2.99 .
Grocery Outlet is AWESOME for frozen food, cleaning supplies, canned/​prepared foods and cheeses. It’s awesome (lowercased) for produce but you need to use it quickly.
The people that work here are friendly and nice. Plus, they tell you how much you saved, and it’s usually more than what you spent.

Cheap wine. Cheap pizza. That’s about all that «needs» to be said. But really, there are some great deals and odd ball things you won’t find other places. For instance, a one pound brick of butter. Not a pack of 4 ¼lb sticks, but a solid 1lb hunk of butter. Awesome.

I love Gross Out! Your uppity friends might give you grief for shopping here, but if you are short of dough, this place is great for getting a few things to tide you over. If you need the other type of dough, check the expiration date first. Where else can I shop for groceries while listening to CCR? Where else can I find Evaporated Milk Flake cereal? (Well, even if it was only that one time). Where else can I find Peter Pan Peanut butter? Aaaaand where else can you go to the shampoo aisle and be transported back to 1985? Ya see where I am going with this? Don’t expect to find your entire list, but for staples, kooky finds, emergencies, and a sensory journey back to your electric youth, this place is great.

Grocery outlet, you have probably saved more people from turning into unproductive junkies than any other business in Thurston Co. If it is cheap, it is here. Some of the fly-​by-​night deals they have here are pretty good: like the one time I saw 6-​packs of Alaskan beer here for $ 3.
Candy? Buy it here, you would get a handful for $ 2 where other places you might get two if you’re lucky. Cake mix, same deal. Frozen dinners? A lot of names you don’t see very often i.e. «Hungry Foods Co.» Some of them are decent others taste like cardboard, but at least you didn’t spend a lot to get that frozen pizza. They have some of the Amy’s pizzas there, which are most of the time decent in quality.
Everything here that is packaged food is a steal and comes recommended. For produce or meats, I’d move along to the next aisle. Got some bananas here once (they were bright yellow with a lot of green at the tips when I bought them) and the next day they were totally brown and would turn into mush in your hand.
The employees to this place are hilarious too. G.O. has ads that run over their P.A. system and one time one ran: «Grocery Outlet… and next time you come, bring a friend.» Then the employee stocking shelves looked at me and said in the most over the top way, «Hey, next time, bring a friend!» I couldn’t help but laugh.

I had never been to a Grocery Outlet before so this was definitely an experience for me. I guess I knew what to expect just from the name, but I was still a little startled by the customers. I swear each one of them was hiding a lit cigarette behind their ear or something, this entire place reeked. Also, everyone seemed to stop and gawk at nothing in the most random places. The selection of food was pretty decent, but as I expected not everything you need is there, like brown sugar and baking powder. I assume stuff comes in at random times so you never know what to expect. That must be part of the charm, but I’m not really seeing it. Really, this is a decent enough place to go for some groceries, but there is no way you can check off your entire list here without having to go somewhere else.

This place is great. Many, many awesome deals to be had, but make sure you read the expiration dates on EVERYTHING. They have doubled the price of their candy bars in the last year, so minus one star for that.

This place rocks. You never know what you are gonna find. Don’t expect to do all your shopping here though, food is subject to availability. They do an excellent job keeping top shelf foods in at an affordable price. Everbody needs to go shop here. Love it.

I am not going to deny it — I love grocery outlet for 3 reasons.
1. Price. you cannot beat the prices and some of the things they have are really good. It may expire in less than a week but for half of Safeway — or less who cares.
2. They are the only grocery store that when the lines get long they instantly call for backup and make sure they get through everyone. Oh and they are friendly.
3. Location. The bus lines all seem to go right past it. If you are going to one side of Oly from the other you have to drive past it.
The downsides.
1. Inconsistent selection. It will be there for 6 weeks and then just when you become addicted it runs out.
2. It is surplus/​discount/​overstock stuff so you don’t get things like POM, but maybe POM tangerine.
3. You have to go somewhere else because they don’t have everything.
I don’t care about the downsides, it is still the best.
