Be careful. Some fridge food is placed in a very hot, non-working refrigerator. A lady Ive never seen before (thin White woman, guessing some manager) said they dont need to be refrigerated. But EVERY store (including them in the past) in many states & countries Ive lived/been to my entire life have ALWAYS had these items refrigerated. I worked at a restaurant & they HAD TO be kept in the fridge. Every person I know keeps them in a fridge. I looked it up, & they SHOULD/MUST be refrigerated for freshness & life/shelf life. Sliced/whole pepperoni & bacon. At least BY a cold fridge so they can stay cool. Nope. They were enclosed in heat. I instantly felt how extremely warm they were. It was just as bad as leaving them outside in the sun. Which would make them go bad in just a matter of time. Pretty much selling expired food. πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž

I really like the variety and pricing this place offers. The staff is great as well. However, this place has a glaring flaw in that is typically has lesser hours than other Save-a-Lot stores and once we hit the fall-winter months, those hours shorten again. If youre a person that works during the day, it is difficult enough to get to a store before 9pm given some work shifts. The fall/winter hours have this place closing at 7pm on weekdays and a paltry 5pm on Sundays. I love this place, but I frequently just dont have the time to go to it because of the tight hours of operation.If you have time to go during open hours, you will find a small but adequate produce section, a decent meat selection, literally tons of dry and pantry goods, and a frozen section that can rival a major grocery chain. And of course, some great deals.

I shop here bc its so close to my apartment. But also near by is another grocery, slightly farther. So we shop here for basics as they are cheaper. Heavier items bc we usually walk. But meat and deli products are prepacked. And fresher is of course better. So for specialty items, meats, cold cuts, etc, we take the longer walk

Good selection but fresh produce isnt always fresh. Hense the discount store though. They take food stamps too, which is good.

Overall okay best time Id say to go would be between opening till 1. Never go after 2pm. Ugh I have noticed out dated items. I thought it was just a mistake but I have gone back to see more of the same. So I only purchase certain things.

Limited selection, small grocery store, produce, meat, dairy with good prices. Nice not to have to walk a big grocery store for a couple items.

Review β„–18

Amazing savings. Some of their stuff like the cheap bbq sauce and the breakfast sandwiches are legitimately better than paying top dollar for name brands.

Manager is on Facebook calling people lazy and degrading others. Customer service skills are clearly not available here. Never have I seen someone be so blatantly rude to people on Facebook under the same ad looking for employees.

One of the managers and one of the cashiers spend a lot of time outside having a cigarette. They aren’t nice to the customers and they where not helpful to me at all. Nasty answers.

Review β„–24

Good store. Lower prices so some brands are unfamiliar but most are comparable. Not always well stocked. Produce cheaper and doesnt seem to stay fresh as long but tasty if used timely. Some ethnic choices throughout the store. Sausage made in store by butcher. Very good and seasoned uniquely, not found in other stores both Polish and italian varieties.

Review β„–25

The store is nice and clean and has a large variety of things that the other stores dont however I went there purposely to get the roast that were on sale and was told that they only have meat on sale on Saturdays which I think is really crazy. Saturdays are busy and crowded and Im partially disabled which makes it difficult to shop when everybodys pushing and shoving wont be shopping there again

Airport plaza location is always clean & stocked.. I live 5 minutes from a different location & the prices are always higher & very little selection. So i do prefer Gen & Union store or Dingens. Rd location

Ka
Review β„–27

Not as convenient as you think despite being located in a plaza at the corner of Genesee St Union Rd. Generally only 2 cashiers on duty, no express and no self check out. Picking up one or two items might mean 10+ minutes waiting to be able to pay for your purchase and leave.

Good prices and a nice variety of food items from which to choose. Compared to a Tops or Wegmans, it is limited in the number of choices. However, if you are looking for the basics, you cant go wrong shopping at Save-A-Lot.

Clean aisles. Some name brands as well as other/store brands. Availability changes so watch ads. Meat aisle/butcher men are very helpful. Store takes cash or credit cards. Bring your own bags or purchase plastic bags.

I usually go here as a last resort. Good prices, but customer service is always mediocre at best, last time I went the cashier not only didn’t greet me, but held a conversation with the cashier next her the whole entire time, not one word was said to me. Smh.

A basic grocery store. Not a lot of choice for a person like myself, I dont eat beef or pork at all (personal choice.) Some name brands and store brands. Some good deals and decent prices. Could be cleaner, but its not disgusting.

Good prices, and good parking. Very average for 10 years ago. With what Wegmans is doing though it really raises the bar. Nothing really bad to say. But nothing really stood out either. No shame in a 3*

Cashiers are always nice. The meat department goes out of their way to help you. I joked with one of the guys about wanting one of their in house sausages (chicken, spinach and feta its delicious) and he said ok Ill have it tomorrow. I went back the next day and sure enough he had made it. I go here as often as I can because of how close it is but also because I prefer some of their stuff and prices.

Great customer service, great food, but the only thing I dont like about Save A Lot is that there no nacho lunchables, theres mostly turkey and cheese crackers, ham and cheese crackers, and theres only a couple pizza ones. Other than that its a great place to get your food from.

It was good would have been better if the cashier wasnt having a full blown conversation with someone who was obviously visiting she made no eye contact with me or anyone else in her line for that matter not to mention she was also preoccupied with what was going on with her cell phone just rude terrible customer service

Good savings on many products but you have to know your prices I found some that were cheaper elsewhere. Meats had a few good buys, like chicken drumsticks for .69/lb. Eggs, today, were 1.29 for a dozen of the large eggs. Pays to look around other stores too. Bargains are for you if you choose to shop around.

Store is never stocked. Just went in to shop and no meat was out. Empty boxes always in aisles. Butcher doesnt know how to cut or stock his meat case. And on 04/15/20 there was no sanitizing wipes to wipe carts, noone was sanitizing carts, no employee wore face masks or gloves. During this virus time all that should be done.

Same food, cheaper price. Must bring your own bags or boxes to carry out to car. If you are taking public transport I suggest bringing something with wheels, as you are going to find things that you didnt expect--name brand items and once and awhile gourmet.

The low key best thing they stock is thier turkey breasts. Awesome price and great slow cooker meal. Their meats department for how small it is puts in big works. If youre looking for a cheektowaga establishment that is old school dirty buffalo this is it. Great people. Look at them in thier eyes... They love you.

CHECK YOUR RECEIPTSNearly every time Ive been in there something has rang up wrong at the register. Now i get once and a while theres an issue with a price, but this place must be doing something fishy as the prices are always higher than they are supposed to be. Seems like some kind of embezzlement going on as Ive never had an item ring up for less than the displayed price.Pay attention to the prices or theyll get you.
