Satire Alert!!! Satire Alert!!! Satire Alert!!!…read more I said I would never do it... I vowed to keep my opinions to myself.... But after coming to the Grocery Outlet just once... I can proudly say that I will be 100% wearing my "MAGA" hat the next time I shop here! ----Notice the MAGA hats in quotes---- Hey, blame it on the economic policies... Say what you want about political reform... But at the Grocery Outlet in Thousand Oaks... They are definitely all about........ M-aking A-ffordable G-roceries A-gain Ok, I knew they would get YOUR attention! ***Politics have now left the chat*** Alright, enough of that crazy talk, let's get down to brass tacks, shall we? Nowadays, in today's economy, no matter who you are, a deal is a deal, and when you find a good deal, you best act on it. Well, on my first visit to the Grocery Outlet earlier this year, I acted on it. Upon walking in, it initially looks like any other grocery store chain that you've been to. Clean floors, bright lighting, & well stocked aisles... But as you actually make your way down those aisles and you start looking at the prices, you will definitely understand why they say this is a "bargain market" (in a good way). Yeah, at the Grocery Outlet, each item on their shelves has a yellow price tag with the Grocery Outlets price and then a price under that saying Elsewhere's price (which is always more of course). Hey, call it good marketing (pun intended) or just call it plain 'ol discounting psychology 101, in which our brains perceive the value of something and the need/want for that said item, especially when it's a clear was vs now pricing scenario. As consumers, especially in a Capitalist world, we can always justify the saving of money especially when it's around purchasing essential things that we need versus non-essential things that we just want. And groceries are definitely more of a need, but can easily turn into a want especially if you go on an empty stomach. Pro Tip: Never, Ever go the grocery store hungry! But not only do they have really great prices here, but I saw items that I've literally never seen at any other grocers and I've been to them all. This location, located in the heart of Thousand Oaks offers some great values that would definitely make it worth your while to come check them out for yourself. I did google if Grocery Outlet accepts manufacturers coupons, in which it said they did not, but they do occasionally offer their own store-specific coupons as well as digital deals on the Grocery Outlet app so definitely download that. So... Are ready to shop, save & get in on the deals? I'll see you at Grocery Outlet in 1000 Oaks, CA.

The motif seems to be more along the lines of Parisien, country French, country cottage, and a little contemporary, all the while spread out in a color-coordinated fashion. They have some exquisitve greeting cards, fancy paper napkins and guest towelettes, serving pieces, candles, baby items, things for teens, and of course, adults. It is all very elegantly displayed, especially a room in the back where it's like walking into a patisserie. In fact, everything looked so real, I forgot I was in a gift shop, and MOST of the items were just for show.......I had to really study them. That being said, there were some very edible candies and confections, but I didn't buy any. They looked good, though. Displays can be so inviting, and these did not disappoint.......anywhere in the store. If I had any criticism, it'd be that the aisles are a tad bit too narrow. I was nervous walking through there. The other downer is that they are pricey, and while they have some very elegant and unique items, it's just not something my budget can afford.......well, at least, not today. I'd definitely go back for another look-see.

This adorable shop is still packed with Christmas / wintery cheer. There's so much to see. It's a visual feast for the eyes, and it's so inspiring to amp-ing up your seasonal style. The friendly owners can help direct you to a particular theme within the store. From actual vintage items, to vintage-inspired new merchandise, there's so much from which to choose. (Snowmen! Giant jingle bells! Candle holders! Snowflakes! Miniature Christmas trees!) There're a lot of red and white accents, but also white & natural / rustic options, as well. I didn't take a lot of photos this time. Shame on me! I was so engrossed in just taking it all in. I did pick up a few items to expand on a particular theme in our kitchen / dining room. They do feature furniture pieces. This time of year, more emphasis is on decorations of all types. They also carry stocking-stuffer choices like hand creams, soaps, candles, jewelry, and more. There's still time to shop. They're open Tuesday through Sunday. They have been staying open till 7:00 on December Friday evenings. They may do that on the 22nd, but I'd call to verify. Take a break from overcrowded shopping venues and enjoy warmth and inspiration at Ambiance.

Imagine my surprise when I walked into a store that has every single detailed item and embellishment and tool that I could possibly need for crafting school projects and my own hobbies! I walked into this amazingly large room of scrapbook hard at work, and they showed me some of the things that they have been working on, and I was blown away by the creativity and detailed beauty of their masterpieces. I'm super enthralled to learn that they offer classes and you can even come by and use the studio and craft anytime you want for a small membership fee! Hooray!!!
