Always reliable for affordable prices/deals on groceries. Bought about 15 items for about $35 total! When I was looking around for specific ingredients, the employee that I asked was super helpful and knew exact what aisle, section, and shelf the item was going to be in. The place was clean and the check out lines were busy, but the cashier in my line was very fast and super efficient in knowing all the codes by heart for all the groceries. read more

I witnessed about 5-6 kids on mountain bikes with their helmets on and the last kid was wearing a Go Pro video camera on his helmet walk their bikes into the Cost Less store on 07/05/26 at about 3:00 to 3:30 P.M. They should have been stopped at the door but the 3 cashiers at the front of the store let them all come in. They walked their bikes to the back of the store by the milk and eggs and started riding wheelies on their bikes and making everybody get out of their way. I couldn't find 1 worker at the back of the store and had to go find a cashier at the front of the store to let her know. I asked her if she seen the kids on their bikes come into the store and she said yes. I said well they are riding wheelies at the back of the store so she announced it on the loudspeaker. When she did the kids riding their bikes heard it and started leaving knocking everything off of the store shelves . In the meantime all of the other store employees came out of the back room of the store and had to pick all of the store products off of the floor. My complaint is why were they even allowed to bring their bikes in the store ? Put a bike rack outside and make them leave their bikes outside. read more

Came in for a simple propane exchange 4 checkstands going, lines down the aisles, I am literally standing at the end of the bread aisle waiting to reach express check out. There is no way they can be happy with this kind of service. read more

Great selection, small family feel to the store. Good selection and they carry an unusual but good selection of meats and cheeses.

This review is for the location on Yosemite Blvd in Modesto. I have been coming here for many, many years. They always have a nice selection on produce, meats and everything in between. The store does look outdated (recently they have made improvements) but the store is always nice and neat. Very organized. The employees for the most part are nice and helpful. read more

This Costless is a good store. Prices for goods are a lot less than most stores in the area. But the training and attitude of some of the department workers and the baggers is poor. The department workers have to be told to check in the back for empty shelves. The baggers don't know or don't care that fragile items don't go under heavy items. The thing is, if it was their groceries, they'd make sure it was bagged right. But the screw the customer and their groceries attitude is what I see. The managers need to convey to there associates how business works and that the bottom line effects their job. I'd be happier if the gave even lower prices and have us bag our own goods. read more

I had a terrific experience yesterday, 8 Nov. Not only was my cashier very courteous, but I had a remarkable experience in parking lot. Must share with you that a young employee, BRIAN, should be promoted. His care and kindness was exemplary. After grocery shopping, I was not able to open trunk of my car because lg vehicle parked too close to me. Couldn't open driver's door enough to reach trunk lever on floor. BRIAN was gathering baskets for store and saw me struggling. He came and offered assistance. His arm was long enough to reach lever. He put groceries in trunk, then offered to try to push car far enough backward from parking space to get into car. WHEW! I wasn't thinking very positive at this moment. Frustrated as I was, this man came running from store to that vehicle just in time. He backed out and drove away. TYG! BRIAN hugged me, and I was on my way. read more

This store replaced our favorite OBriens, but we gave it a try. The value is amazing. All the vegetables and fruit are so fresh, they are constantly moving inventory because it's so popular and moved quickly. The cost is 1/2 the amount of other chain stores and the quantity unbelievable. They have so much variety, Asian, Mexican, Gluten Free, vegan it's great. All the clerks are friendly and helpful as well. The store is very clean and well lit. I am making these one of my go to stores. read more

I haven't been to this cost less in ages! They've updated a few things but still the same as I can remember. Always a pleasure seeing that Cindy is still there she ROCKS! I Grabbed a few items with my wife, Produce was wonderful as they were putting out fresh fruits and vegetables! Lines were long but this new young gentleman had his register open and was quick and efficient. I was skeptical going to his line with all his tattoos he had and piercings etc. etc. No matter how long his line was and the amount of groceries people bought, he had a terrific attitude through it all and great enthusiasm. We held a great conversation. I asked if Ross was still the manager because I didn't see him during my visit, he responded yes Ross is in today and still the manager. It's always nice to see young employees working along side with some of the hard workers that have been there quite some time. read more

We come here a lot! We love all the foods there! 10/10! Probably the best food market. And my daughter said she wants to work here! We love this place! We always go here !! read more

The sale and produce prices are great, usually you can't find anything cheaper, the regular prices are comparable to SaveMart. The beef can be a little tough but the produce is usually pretty fresh. My wife loves the store and shops here a lot. read more

I like this store, but the only reason I'm giving it a 1 star is because they haven't fired Frankie (cashier) yet. He gave my husband the shittiest attitude today when he asked something about our items. There's been other instances where I hear him curse and be rude to other customers. Hire decent people at least. read more

I love this store my favorite cashier's are William, Dani and Cindy. I love there produce!! And Andy is always so helpful. The manager Ross is the BEST!! read more

**********CREDIT CARD FRAUD******Oakdale,Ca location BEWARE! We stopped by this store to use restroom and buy water and fruits on our way to Yosemite oct 11 - Sunday and used Visa card. By Wednesday both my sister and I got separate FRAUD alert on our respective cards. This is the ONLY store I used my VISA coz they do not accept American express card and I never use my VISA at all except for this one time. So, I know. FOR SURE fraud happened from this particular store. Someone attempted to charge $1000++ twice on Microsoft Online. Thank goodness both instance it was denied!!! Too bad i threw my receipt otherwise I would have called Manager of store to check his staff!!! read more

I don't come in as much as I use to, i will stop by if there's a deal I want ..but probably won't be doing that much either after today.. I'm not fond of hearing the staff gossip about the customers as I'm checking on.. it's just extremely rude in my opinion. read more

When I first moved to this neighborhood, I was a bit wary of this market. I wasn't familiar with the Cost Less name and feared it was one of those places geared towards the Latin sector. But I finally ventured in and saw for myself it is your standard neighborhood supermarket, They don't have the fancy extras like pharmacies or seafood counters, but their prices really are on the lower end. It's clean enough inside and more often than not there is no waiting at the checkouts. I will also point out that whoever does the hiring loves beautiful young Latinas, there are quite a few there working as baggers. read more

This is the 3rd time in a year that I have bought beef in the bag (New Your strips) and could not eat any of it... The meat is way toooo tough. My dog wouldn't eat it! The last 2 times I was given store credit. This time, however, I will through this away and NEVER, EVER again buy beef from Cost less. read more

Employees are working hard but when it's busy they tend to NOT sanitize between customers. I feel like I'm putting myself and my family in contact with potential COVID-19 because the belt is wet and dirty from the previous customers but it's so busy at 4:30pm I don't want to stop them and ask them to clean it before I put my groceries up. I'll just sanitize when I get to the car. read more

LINES!! I normally have no issue standing in line at this store, I actually love this Costless. This morning I went in for approximately five items. They had three checkstand open which is fine.. Except they ONLY had two lines.. You could not stand in a line for each check stand. This was ridiculous, I understand the importance of social distancing but the lines went all the way back to the eggs and then you had to wait to be called to a check stand. Although, one line was for one check stand and one line was for the other two checks-stands absolutely unacceptable. They said there were no blue distancing lines for the one check stand, weeeellll, there are no blue separation lines down the frozen isle either.. read more

I have been getting groceries from this Cost Less for as long as I can remember! Every time I have come to this store, it has always been clean, shelves are neatly stocked and the customer service is always excellent from both the young and more seasoned employees. This store is at a unique location and has to face some issues in regards to people that loiter, panhandle, etc as well as being a central point for several communities on the East Side of Modesto but does a great job at managing that (handling different groups, etc). Definitely stop at this grocery store for all of your food needs and an excellent candy selection, haha! read more

DANI YOU ARE THE RUDEST CASHIER EVER!!! Today all I did was ask a question, I was in the for dinner not to be eating toilet paper and asked a simple question about limiting people on toilet paper, since it's a National Emergency now. People still getting whatever they want and she practically yelled at me. Way to go on your customer service.... NOT. read more

They would not honor their newspaper ad and everything was the regular price or higher. In this time of people helping people they have totally failed. I parked my full cart and will never enter their store again just really bad business. read more

Cost Less Food Company - It's never a dull moment at our cost less!! - Grocery Near Me - Modesto, California

I'm quite the 'bargain' shopper and when it comes to quality food especially produce and meats and to date Cost Less is by far the leader in this industry even though there are only a handful of them around they are well worth the time and effort it takes cuz you make one hell of a haul for a fraction of the cost at the "Mega Chain Stores" where you feel utterly hosed as you leave with your one bag that cost ya ass $40 or more. They put out their weekly ad once a week and when I lived in Modesto it arrived every Wednesday in the ol' mailbox. THE key here if your a huge protein eater like I am is that they will have on sale once a month their ground beef, b/s chicken breasts and pork steaks at anywhere between $1.49-1.99 a pound for their family value pack. I buy them by the packs then bring them home and break them down into user friendly sized packages using my foodsaver vacuum sealer and I can eat for a month or more for a fraction of the cost at the other 'pay to be hosed' stores lol. Their produces is unbelievably fresh and affordable too which is a constant and in this day and age where a dollar goes far less than in days before I LOVE LOVE LOVE this chain. Peace out lol ;) read more

Just like the name of the store "Cost Less" you can go into this store find what you need for cheap. But not everything is at a good price. Depending on what you want and comparing it with other stores you, some stores has it for less. Also depending on what is on sale for the week. Just this last week there was an add tha had whole chicken on sale. We went here to buy it and come to find out it had frost bites all over it, as if they had the chicken sitting in the freezer for months. We ended up buying other stuff instead while we were there. The vegeatables were pretty fresh and everything seem to be good. They store seem to be busy every time we are in there, but we get in and get out in a timely matter. The cashiers are pretty quick at checking us out. Overall its a good grocery store. read more

Horrible customer service !!! Everyone seemed to hate their job there wanted to ask a question to an employee and seemed like it was too much for them to help me read more

They have a great meat dept and really good price's, the produce dept always has the freshest and best looking produce for the price,also a large selection of beverage's. Their tortillas are fresh everyday(their brand) but i really like the Hispanic selection they have everything i need to make my meals,i shop there every month 2 or 3 time's it's like a one stop shop great read more

This is the one place I go for all my Guinea pigs vegetable. Needs. They have the lowest prices for veggies around. They also have the lowest prices for energy drinks which helps to keep me alive. If you come here you can even see Bruno Mars collecting carts read more

I love Cost Less!! Their prices are great. The store is always very clean and the employees are friendly.

I don't go past this grocery store everyday or even once a week. But if it is on my way home at or after quitting time, I might stop and get something to cook for dinner. Today was a good day for me there. I knew what I wanted and gathered it quickly and went to checkout. I usually bring in my black canvas grocery bag because I don't usually get a lot of groceries at one time. I bagged my own groceries as the checker was pushing them down, even though the courtesy clerk came right away waiting to help me. Just four items I had. I said thank you to the cashier after the transaction and jokingly said - thanks for nothing ! - to Kayla. She laughed and so did I. From what I personally saw, this girl gave it her all. Quick responder, efficient at her job and great customer interaction. That's the kind of customer service that I really like. Sometimes you stand in line to checkout for a really long time. It wears on a person. Sometimes it makes people cranky. But having a send off with such good feelings wipes out the negatives and builds the positives to want to come back. Thank you for making my day Kayla! I'll be back. read more

-the grocery carts are soiled/dirty- just by visual inspection, in the season of sars-cov2, humanity must make sure what you touch is at least cleaned. - due to this, i brought a plastic grocery bag to put my selections from the store, i planned to put the products on the check stand and keep my bag with me, fold it so they don't use it- because the store has a no- outside bag policy - the manager said it was california law ?? - the person on the check stand - white, female, macy, said - i cannot use my bag. my bag was neatly folded into my left axillary region. - i said " i do not want you to use my bag. i understand your store policy, i would like you to bag the groceries with your store bags. i used mine because your carts are dirty and i dont want to catch covid-19 from your store" - i called the manager ross scarborough, and of course the manager will defend the check out stand, she is white, and i am brown, go figure, i know racial discrimination still exists in 2020, the clerk had to call me out on my grocery bag which was neatly folded into my axillary region. - and the yelling ensues, once, twice, trice ....with ross scarborough... with ross scarborough dropping the telephone , like microphone you drop on a stage floor . - a few cents , just to save a few cents, to drive a bit, to go out of your shelter-in-place, to get something from the grocery store- but you must choose so : - you don't get picked out, to be called out because you're brown or black, or if your culture is different, but just because- they had a difficult day and you're the next one - - do you think i should adapt the same attitude with my private cash paying patients ? - ? ? ? - aclu case , calling ... read more

This place is irrelevant and rude. This morning I was shopping and this lady next to me was having a hard time passing her credit card and it wouldn't go through. Trust me, we all know we have been through that and it really is kind of embarrassing sometimes but I can't judge this family. Some Asians behind her were laughing because her card wasn't passing and the CASHIER WAS LAUGHING WITH THEM. That is complete BS. And if this cashier is reading this, instead of laughing, you should have ignored the people. What would you do if that would have happened to you. This is the last time I will ever come here even though it's the store that I have close to where I live. That was just playing rude. The disrespect given to these people was awful. Why are there awful people in this world like come on. read more

The store is clean, the staff is friendly and the quality and prices are fine. The products are always where you last found them and it makes shopping a breeze. Great store and thank you. read more

Definitely NOT the cheapest around. The employees are at worst rude and at best apathetic. The place is a dump and the 'fresh' produce is anything but. Will not be shopping there again. read more

I'm definitely happy that Richland has been replaced by the Cost Less Foods. This place has some really great deals on groceries. I would stick with just getting produce and other groceries at this store; those are the items with lower prices. I would not get non food items here because they are completely over priced. I love their freshly baked bread and they have very friendly staff. I will keep returning to get my shop on. read more
