While the prices are good, the store itself is in shambles. People steal and rob and as for the workers, usually theres only one person on at a time so theres nothing they can do. Yesterday a box of Seagrams was half opened and just sitting there. They never have any carts except for one. People keep stealing them as well. They really need a security guard and or additional employees for loss prevention purposes. The products themselves are very good so its a shame because the store is not profiting with all the theft.

After arriving and wondering if the store was closed (there were only 2 cars in the parking lot) I quickly realized why it was empty. Within a minute of being in the store I saw several mice running across the floor and the prices are significantly higher than other save a lots in the area

If I could have given it done less star than one I would have. There were no employees on the floor to help, the place was not clean, the place had boxes all over the place like they were fit her moving in or out. I want in for milk, and they had none in the refrigerated cases. As you looked through the case you fouls see some milk but customers are not allowed back there.. There was literally no one to ask. The cashier was doing her job, but engaged in too much conversation with the customer she was checking out. I took the bag of salad I was going to buy, and put it back. Not like other items you found all around the store. Lets say a half gallon of milk was on a shelf with the beans and rice. You saw examples of that all around the store. You might save a lot, but you would get sick a lot of on things that were defrosting on shelves throughout the store and then put back in the cases to be refrozen. I say spend a few more dollars and go to Price Chopper or Hannaford or Shop Rite and stay out of a local emergency room.

No photos, I went to save a lot to grab a few things. Standing in line with 4 customers a head of me, I am next go to walk up the girl days Im closed you got to go over there. I walk over to the other register, there were people behind me. The girl there days IDK why you all come over here I dont even have a drawer yet. I said because she told us she was closed to come here. I have my bag in the cart open, she scans my items and put them in the cart next to the bag. And then complains that she was out at a register in the corner she dont like. Not a friendly atmosphere by any means

Best prices and never crowded! You can get essentials and everything here. If you eat meat and want to get it at your regular place thats fine but definitely give this place a shot

They had good stuff in the store but they get a 2 star rating because they only have 5 shopping carts for the entire store and they only had 1 cashier on.

Review №26

Its a shame you made people pay or quarter just to use a shopping cart to go grocery shopping times is hard but that just encourage people to go somewhere else pay a little bit more they should get better service and quality

Review №27

Last time I was in there it was nasty 🤮. The place was not clean half of the stuff in the flyer was not even in the store. I didn’t buy anything I left. I wish they would open back on Delaware Ave.i will never go back there again.

This stores consistently clean, well stocked, and staffed by decent folk. Its parking lot is appropriate. Another plus is its location - one block east of the N. Allen Station. 5 bus routes (1, 125, 138, 712, and 905/Red BusPlus) stop at N. Allen. The 12 and 114 are 2 blocks south on Washington.

Review №30

Very overrated will never visit here again! First of all you have to put a quarter in the shopping carts granted you get it back at the end of your shopping experience but then what’s the point? Proves wasn’t too bad but wasn’t too good either for the nasty fruits and vegetables they had laying out rotting like literally turning brown and other sorts of colors. Then we had to pay for bags! Horrible you guys closed 3 to 4 save a lot stored in Florida you need to close this one too! There’s definitely not a lot of selections to choose from this is a mini market of over priced rotten produce!

... It is a great place to Shop! Good deals most of the time. Deals you cannot find anywhere else!Today I stopped in to see if I could get any more grapes ($ .88/lb.) and some tomatoes on the vine ($ .78/lb.). They were out of both!I asked a store employee about these items & he said if I come back in on Monday hed give me my two items at the AD price! I think that is pretty darn good for a store to do this!The employees there are really helpful & polite. They make it worth it to shop there!As you can tell I would definitely recommend shopping at this Save - A - Lot! No question, hands down I would do So!

I really like Save A Lot. They dont have much in the way of brand names but its all the same. Meats arent bad but their produce could use some improving.

One cashier on the register can make grocery shopping here feel long. Especially if you grab only a couple items.

Prices were decent.. But the cashier( guy)..needs to learn some people skills...lousy attitude.Update on July 2nd 2018....I had a very pleasant shopping visit...Staffing was very nice.. Great buys...The store was extremely clean & neat....

Review №43

Good basic grocery store with plenty of things to stock your pantry. Also a small selection of meats as well as some basic veggies. Bring your reusable bags or you have to purchase their grocery bags. Not the greatest produce selection but okay for the price. One of the things I like best is the good selection of Goya products. They also have a small amount of household cleaning supplies, paper products, and baby stuff. would much rather shop here than at Price Chopper.

Review №47

The prices are great and the people are patient. I give it a 4 because it does not have everything I need, such as hummus, prunes, and not salted peanuts. However, it is really good for everything else, especially meat. Make sure you bring your own bags.

I appreciate the authentic Hispanic options that I cant find other places such yucca, plantains, seasonings, and guava juice. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. However, I stay away from the frozen food. Every time Ive purchased frozen blueberries they have been freezer burned and tasted terrible.

Im in the store right now and the young woman working needs to go back to customer service skills school. She was confrontational. Yes I understand you need a break but I have been working all day too and there is a time and place to break off from the crew. as the last person in your line with one return common sense should have been used. I shop here a lot and am very taken back by this employees behavior. Today is 10/16/2020 and the time is 5:32pm.Now the young man also working the cash register has been nothing but professional, welcoming and knows how to speak to a person. Im glad to continue to shop here because of people like the gentlemen working the cash register on 10/16/2020 at 5:32pm.

The store was filthy both inside and out. There was a horrible odor. The cashier was not only ignorant but rude as well. The woman with braids that waited on us is a true poster child for the ghetto. We will NEVER shop there again.

It is very cheap and has some decent stuff. Definately needs some gluten free options for people with allergies. I cant buy any gluten free there. I wouldnt be able to get everything i need so why k rate it at 3. Ita good for people with no allergies on a tight budget.
