As a long time shopper of Grocery Outlet I was ecstatic when they opened one up in Soledad…read more previously the nearest was a 45 min commute to Salinas. For those unfamiliar it's a store that may or may not have what you are looking for but if they do (bread, produce and alcohol aside) the prices are often far more reasonable than the grocery store. My approach when it's grocery time is to first stop at Grocery Outlet, get the items or brands you need that are available and address the delta at a nearby more costly grocery store where you get the remaining items. That combination ensures you are saving more each month as a result. For those things they do carry, the prices are often much less. And on occasion priced too good to be true, when that happens look carefully at the expiry. Even in those moments I am content buying a container of orange juice for half the price even if I know it will expire in two days. More often than not it will not last longer than that anyway. They often have some off the wall brands of things like ice cream but admittedly It was what introduced me to Brave Robot Blue berry pie ice cream and Ample Hills Gooey Butter Cake ice cream. Both absolute knocks out of the park and doubly so with them being $2.50 a container. You may have to scrutinize the price and product but after a while it's second nature and you will be hard pressed to save as much. I imagine this is exponentially better if you have a large family. Lastly, this location specifically, the owners recognize law enforcement and military personnel and will issue you a hard card that can be used for a $3.00 discount on a $35 bill every shopping visit. They also offer periodic receipt coupons for $5.00 on a specific amount. If you plan to shop there anyway it's just an added savings bonus. This may not be for everyone but I for one appreciate it and absolutely love having one 15 mins away. Thank you Grocery Outlet.

The store itself is spacious and clean! However the wine is…read morein disarray! I drove from Gonzales to go there instead of Salinas and I was dismayed at the wine section. I wanted a Pinot Noir and instead of it being grouped together it was all over the place! Some bottles mixed with Cabernet, Malbec and more. Out of the five stores in our area Seaside is most organized and the volume of sales speaks volumes. Marina comes in close then Salinas, haven't been in Prunedale for a while. Being in a region where we have many wineries they should be better!

I've been coming to this store since I've moved to Soledad, 2017. Friends & coworkers warned me…read moreabout this store and said they over charge. Well I am officially done shopping here.

I don't understand. I drop a lot of money here but I'm done. I won't be shopping here anymore. They are over priced but it beat going to food co. I rather go to bingos or Pachecos for meat now.

They smelled soooo bad (like piss and a garbage can that's been sitting out for a while).

We got California Fries with carnitas, 2 carnitas tacos, 1 pollo, 1 chicharonnes and a hamburger and fries. My daughter loved the California fries, they had lots of meat and cheese. The tacos were so good, the tortillas they make were amazing! The 2 salsas they gave me were both good too. I was excited about the chicharron taco because I've never seen that on a menu but the chicharrons were soft. I just assumed they would be fried and crunchy so that was my bad. My husband liked his hamburger and fries too. We also got a few snacks and drinks so it was a nice one stop shop.
