They had pumpernickel and sourdough round loaves that I needed. They always have such a huge selection of inventory. They also have fresh sushi rolls. They also have a lot of parking spaces. Kroger is always very reasonable with their prices. The cashiers are usually nicer than most so that's a plus.

We stopped by Trader Joe's at 220 Constitution Drive in the heart of Virginia Beach's Pembroke area…read morewhile gathering ingredients to make poke bowls. They have a wonderful selection and we were able to find just about everything we needed. Oddly enough, they don't carry seaweed salad, but we found all of the other ingredients on our list and, as usual, discovered a few things that weren't on the list. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. One thing we particularly enjoyed was that they weren't afraid to share their own personal preferences and recommendations. There's something refreshing about asking an employee what they like and getting a genuine answer rather than a sales pitch. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. We're still hoping Trader Joe's will eventually open a location in Chesapeake. Until then, the drive to Pembroke is well worth the effort.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy Trader Joe's and I do enjoy junk food and healthy food all just the…read moresame. But Trader Joe's is just glorified junk food. Hahaha, tasty junk food packaged as healthy. I like how they have a variety of processed foods that you can feel like you have a sophisticated palate but not put in the effort to create from scratch. The Trader Joe's cheese and mushroom pizza was really delicious and the crust was super thin. Their sourdough bread is fantastic as well! If you like chai, their Chai mints are friggin' fabulous!! I think it's awesome they sell kringles from O & H from Wisconsin! They're the best! Especially the almond flavor! It's also almost half the price then buying it directly from them in Wisconsin even if I were to directly travel there! They do offer a nice variety of flowers at decent prices as well.

Address: 1300 Oceana Blvd, Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia Beach, VA 23454…read moreThe Oceana NAS Commissary is off base next to NAS Oceana and serves the military community with a broad range of grocery staples at prices typically below civilian supermarkets. I find consistently good value on fresh produce, meats, and bulk pantry items, especially when stacking the commissary's savings programs with digital coupons. This location participates in YES! (Your Everyday Savings) and other agency-wide promotions , look for special signage for extra discounts on popular items , and supports CLICK2GO online ordering with scheduled pickup, helping families max out the time and savings. I appreciate the layout and variety of products this commissary often carries specialty and seasonal goods including many imported items. I have found halal and kosher as well as many oriental food items. It is near a larger filipino population so you can always find ingredients for panicit and adobo (which I love to cook). ID is required to shop. Very busy during peak shopping like payday weekend. BAGGERS WORK FOR TIPS ONLY SO BRING CASH! I TIP AT LEAST $5 AND $20 IF I DO A BIG SHOP AT LEAST.

This Grocery Outlet opened on March 12, 2026. They are located at the corner of Lynnhaven Pkwy and…read moreS. Lynnhaven Rd. They are a standalone building, but is near to the Parkway Plaza Shopping Center, so they would be hard to miss. My most recent visit here was on April 5, 2026. I made an attempt to come in on the opening day in the afternoon, but there was no parking available, so I would wait until the following day to come in. It was still busy on March 13, 2026, but it wasn't as crazy as it was on opening day. The building looks big from the outside, but it isn't that much different from a regular grocery store. When I came in on the first visit, the place was pretty busy. There was staff helping everyone set up their accounts on their phone app. I had done it beforehand, so I didn't have to wait for that. I was speaking with one of the managers and found out this Virginia Beach location is also their regional hub. My mom was with me on this visit too, as she also wanted to see what it was all about. They do have a good amount of stables, and they have several items that are their own brand. There are brand name items and such, along with limited vegetable and fruit options. When looking at the stuff here, be sure to check the dates on them. Some of the items will be close to their use by date. They do have options for many different food types, but I am sure they could change from time to time. The feel overall for me so far has been that it's like Ollie's Bargain Outlet, but for grocery type items instead, while Ollie's has other stuff to choose from. They have a rewards program, so if you spend $150 or more or make at least three trips with a purchase, you can unlock their Wow! Insider program, which offers even more discounts for select items. It is valid for 30 days, but if you keep the pattern going, you can continue to be a Wow! Insider. On the most recent visit, my mom and I came in to get some items that they had on special. They had 93% lean ground beef for $3.99 per pound (each container was one pound) and dozen eggs on sale for $0.99. We did get a few other needed items, but it wasn't a large purchase that day. Overall, they are a good place to find your grocery stables. However, you will likely need to complement that trip to another place to get everything you may be looking for. They continually provide ads for what's on sale and available at that time. With it being a bargain market, don't expect to see everything you saw on a previous visit. Although they show what the savings could be compared to other stores, I did notice that they aren't completely correct. I'm guessing they were using national average cost data for such items. If you are looking to find some grocery items on the lower priced side, this place is worth checking out, but be sure to compare to their competitors too.

I'm gonna be a bit more generous than I possibly should be, but will explain…read more I attended the Grand Opening Day festivities. They had a DJ getting shoppers pumped up about entering the store. The parking seemed a bit tight, but only because of the opening day. I saw no debris. My wait was not long with an arrival around 11 AM. I probably exited around noon. I was not able to look them over as good as I hoped with long checkout lines and an afternoon appointment. The store was prepped for opening day. It was clean, organized and very well staffed. That for me is worth a bump in the review. The best sale item was the 93% beef for $5.99, limit 3. They also had a hard to find item. Wonderful cinnamon pistachios, I picked up a few. The store is billed as a big saving ms discounter. I found most items were comparable to other stores I shop. The sign that shows the competitor price difference is higher than I've seen locally. An example is Amy's Organic Soup. Grocery Outlet price $3.89, they had comparable prices above $5. Most store have Amy's around $4. I had positive interactions with staff and that also elevated my review. A manager at checkout went back to pull more beef to hit the limit. Checkout did take 20 minutes, or so but it went fast meeting customers in line. I will return when the lines settle down and shop them harder on prices. They are expanding with two new stores opening on the Southside soon. 3.5 rounding up.
