Please join me in ALWAYS running your card at least twice if not more when checking out at winco. No one should be getting into trouble because of an extra item or two!! Winco corporate has gone insane!!! They seem to forget that there are many, more pleasant stores to shop at.

I like Winco and have had no problems. Until now. My husband has been doing the shopping and I…read morehadn't been to Winco in a few months. In that time I was surprised at how many of the products were now Winco brand rather than name brands. Bulk oatmeal had so much "fines" in it that after sifting with a colander there was about 3 cups of instant oatmeal rather than whole oats. Then looking for 36 oz of Adams peanut butter..no more only Winco brand which is made of hydrogenated oil!! Holy crap that stuff is awful for you!! One tiny jar only all the rest was hydrogenated junk! I prefer name brands as company brands are often inferior of quality and and sure is with Winco products. They do have a good deli and their meat quality is good, especially prices! I will still probably shop here but be looking for better prices on certain items else where! I expect long lines and crowds and try to shop when the crowds are less.

After several days of unhealthy travel meals, we showed some restraint this time and ordered the Sesame Ginger Salad with chicken. It was excellent! Every ingredient was incredibly fresh, right down to the carrot slices. Meanwhile, the smash burgers and everything else we saw coming out of the kitchen looked AMAZING. It was difficult not to have order envy! The ambience and music could not be beat. Such a cool, relaxed setting and exactly the kind of place we love finding when we're traveling. I hope we find ourselves in the Salem area again because we will absolutely make the detour back--and next time we're getting that smash burger!

With no preservatives, there is nothing artificial about you. You keep it real with your natural brew. Your 'tear here' slit is such a tease.

For that I am loyal to you. It aches my heart that I cannot come visit you in Oregon, but fret not. We shall meet at a secret rendezvous when our stars align once again.
