I've been shopping at this Grocery Outlet for something like 25 years--typing that out gives me a…read morelittle shock! But there's a reason for my continued patronage at this store: it slashes my grocery budget by at least 50 percent, if not more. It makes a big difference during these inflationary times. I used to stick with packaged goods, but in more recent years I've also been getting as much produce as possible at this GO. It's quite a bit less than at the other grocery store I often frequent, a family-run business in the Dimond district. It's not hard to find quality produce here, and they have a respectable amount of organics. The one thing that keeps me from giving this store a full five stars is the fact that they allow signature gatherers to set up shop by the front door, and these people thrust their their damn clipboards and pens in your face when you try to walk in. Today, when I politely declined to fork over my signature, the woman told me, "You should try to give a hoot about this," which was quite annoying. I'm not going to put my signature on something I haven't researched beforehand. These things are not always what they seem to be. In any case, I go to Grocery Outlet to do my shopping, not to debate ballot initiatives with people I do not know, and certainly not to be shamed by them when I don't give them what they want. I really, really wish the GO would not allow these signature gatherers to harass their customers, who are not there to engage in political discussions. In fact, I wish they wouldn't allow these people on the property AT ALL.

Located off of Webster street a couple blocks west of Michelle's Nail Shop is where you'll find it. If you read my last review, then you know I need hangers. This place has everything. I got a 7 pack for $2.50. Since I was here I also need a 9 volt battery for my door alarm. They got batteries here too. I got two for $2.75. Crazy glue, markers, stools, bags, suitcases, clothes hooks & clothes pins. This place has it all. Service was quick. The older gentleman who was stocking immediately guided me to the right aisles for all my needs. I was in & out in less than 5 minutes. Love it. Thank you for being there. Awww I didn't take any pictures. Too quick. See you some on Yelp 2026

Everything is inexpensive compared to Amazon or any other store. Quality is up to you. I was there on July 4th, and picked up a sink plug and bungee cords for under $7. While I was shopping, a store employee pretended to be stocking and watched me. The cashier was very nice and polite. Notes: narrow aisles, street parking

That's after you get over the initial shock at seeing how messy and unorganized the place is. After 5-10 mins, you get a sense of where things are and just start exploring the place. The staff are really nice and helpful. They want to make a sale to get merchandise out the door. The first time I came here was near closing time, and they asked me to come back. So I came back as a bargain hunter. I read the positive Yelp reviews, and decided to explore the place. I spotted a "14-Cup Cuisinart Programmable Coffee Maker," priced at $59. FYI, the price tag isn't the final price. The lady mgr made me an offer.....open box-$25, sealed box -$35. I asked for the sealed box. She said I can open the box and inspect it before I pay. We opened it together, and it was brand new. She said full refund if I return it within a week. Took it home, it works fine. If you have the time, come by and explore this place.

My experience with ILiquidate has been outstanding, I got a great deal and amazing service. I couldn't say enough good things! I love my new bed and mattress! I spent months sleeping on an air bed waiting to find the prefect upholstered platform bed and mattress and I could not be happier! I found ILiquidate on CL then verified them via yelp and Facebook. After inquiring via FB message about items I saw on their page I received a prompt response and was able to schedule a time that worked with my schedule to come in. Bill met us at the warehouse on a Saturday morning and we were the only people there, he was professional and very kind. There is a wide range of items in the warehouse, my friend unexpectedly left with an awesome faux fire place heating unit. Having never purchased a mattress before I was nervous about the negotiation process, but everything went very smoothly and I got a great deal! Bill even waited while I looked up the retail prices of the items online to insure I was comfortable. When I got home and unpacked everything the quality and condition of the items was excellent. I did have a small hiccup where one of the boxes with bed parts didn't make it into the car but I only mention this because the issue was resolved promptly and very professionally. As soon as I let Bill know he checked the warehouse confirmed that there was an additional box that should have made it into my van and then arranged to have the box delivered to my apartment. It was not more than 30 hours from the time I noticed the missing parts to the time they were on my door step. It very well could have been that I didn't load the box into the van and shame on me for not double checking before I left, but at no point did whose fault come into play, the issue was very promptly resolved in a way that cost me no additional time or money. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

As I was walking around the store, what impressed me was how neat and organized everything was. Stock had it's own place, and every item was in place. I often stop by here when I have a cleaning job or painting project. Because of the low prices, you can afford to use a scrub pad or roller once and throw it away. But this is not a dollar store, so the products seem to be a little better.

They said lines were super long. The cashiers rang up other people items quickly. This made my family thrilled. Also, a 3 bc it is in a scary part of East Oakland. One man just kept walking past the car saying hello. I believe he was unhoused. He didn't asks for any money/food. It was just the way I parked and the car next to me were super close.

Tons of shoppers and many registers open. Great place to go for Christmas decorations or craft stuff or maybe cleaning supplies. As I checked out the lines were so long they opened yet another register. I really think the people working here are outstanding. Some of the shoppers here are not very refined though. So just realize that and let them do as they like - its not your job to teach the random population manners because their mom didn't or couldn't or wasn't there for them. Have sympathy for these people. I think they might have lives that are so bad they maybe feel scarcity and so focus only on themselves and their family only. When life is good you think about other people and your community - and even more importantly - people outside of your community... and you love and try to give what you can to them. I love shopping at Whole Foods and Trader Joes - the people there are so polite. They cover their sneezes and don't cut people in line - really I'd love to be a part of or maybe at least donate to an organization that teaches manners - if you really think about it - it would buy people a better chance at a better job and get out the cycle of poverty and scarcity so they have enough to feel the option to think of others.
