While staying in the town of Index, we were in need of some stuff from the store... Unfortunately…read moreIndex doesn't have a great selection, so we needed to come to the Gold Bar Family Grocer. Large parking lot which is nice, and a very open layout and things are easy to find. But that's about where the pros end. While we were able to find everything we came for (yay!) it was not the best environment. Was a little on the dingey side, and the meat cooler was scary (for the lack of a better word). Barely felt cool and we heard water dripping in the butcher area... I'm glad we didn't need any meat from here, I'll say that. Prices are STEEEEEP here! I imagine it's because it's pretty far away from the next major town, but I was shocked at how much more expensive things were here than back home (less than two hours away). Upside - service was kind. Our cashier was friendly and she got us out quickly. Overall, we found everything that we came for (albeit at a price hike), and for that we are thankful.

While the store provides hot food options, the selection can be limited, especially on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

It's a general convenience store with some food and drink items, Tshirts, random supplies, etc. I was pleased by the small but good local craft beer offerings, and I was very surprised and excited about the kimchi--I bought a jar and it's delicious!

There are fresh charcuterie items in the style of these meats from Eastern Europe and Germany. There's seafood (frozen), baked goods, and candies from Eastern Europe, and a big selection of packaged pantry goods from the same areas. There are unique frozen fruits, like sea buckthorn and red and black currants. And more. Much, much more. I fear such a place may not succeed in the backwaters of Monroe, but business spaces have too high a rent in other areas closer to larger populations. I hope I am proven wrong, and people make the trip to Monroe to support this business. It deserves your support.

Selection is small, but they've got at least one choice of whatever you need. In our case, some select produce, salad dressing, and a few snacks.

They only had locally made scrunchies for $4 a pop, but hey - now's the time to support local more than ever! Service is a little slow, but that's okay. The ladies were really nice. They also do coffee here as well. I got an iced lavender latte and it was phenomenal. VERY powerful flavor so definitely only recommend for the REAL lavender lovers!

I went in for milk and bread, and as I was entering the store they had an end cap of Valentines candy 50% off. I grabbed 2 bags of kit kats and a box of Welchs valentines fruit snacks that were also located on the discount rack. I went to check out and the price she told me was more than I added in my head. I then asked her if she gave me 50% off the valentines candy? She said no the welchs wasn't on sale and asked rudely where I got it? I told her they were on the same rack as all the candy and that there was a bunch of valentines Welch's over on the end cap discounted. She then said I'll take 3.50 off very rudely like I'm trying to steal these fruit snacks. I was walking out returning my cart inside the store and she followed me and then again asked me where I got those Welch's fruit snacks? I pointed to the end cap and she basically was calling me a liar. I did call the manager and he wasn't at all surprised with her behavior. I ended up looking at the receipt and she charged me full price for the Welch's fruit snacks. I guess you win some and lose some. I will never ever go back to this store again.
