We left a restaurant at 7:55, got to the market at 8:01, and they closed the door in our face.

If you're thinking about Walmart Supercenter in Alamosa, CO, you better Ala-WHOA-sa on those…read moreexpectations, y'all. So perhaps I'm being too critical. Then again, I don't think I am. Here's all the irritatin' s*** about this place: - parking... nobody from the onslaught of Subarus to the ginormous lifted pickup trucks knows how to park between the lines - per usual Walmart fashion, choosing a decently rolling cart is a chore - getting assistance from an employee is less likely than your contracting the plaque - most things my cowboy needs or desires they are out of or in extremely limited supply. Go figure. - loser teenage girls walking around scoffing because "they can't steal something when it's behind the glass." - 9 times out of 10 no one is working the counter in the sporting goods section PROS + lowest prices in town + we love the Asian guy who was working the pharmacy side exit on Father's Day 2023... where is he? Such a nice man.

The employee comes to me after I had started scanning my groceries and said it's 15 items like the sign says. I said sorry I didn't see the sign and said since I've started can I finish she rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders then when I got to 15 items it stopped letting me scan until she came over to scan her badge. She could have handled that so differently! If she would have said to me when I was starting"I'm sorry but it will only let you scan 15 items" I would have said ok and went to another checkout. I just counted my items and checked out 2 more times and finished my scanning. There is a really nice grocery store up the street that I will spend my next 300.00 for groceries!

I get that Yelp is the end-all for complaints and 1-star reviews, but this place is no where near the bad ratings it is currently at. My daughters and I noticed with was clean and organized. Not too busy for a Sunday afternoon. Ample parking. My only complaint is the price for chips these days. Come on.. $5.49 for Funyuns? And $5.99 for Doritos? And $5.69 for Hot Cheetos with lime? I'll most likely be back again and again if a certain cowboy has anything to do with it. Thanks also to Jared for being such a friendly, quick cashier - and for the membership savings. Deuces.

My significant other hates shopping, but this City Market made it pretty easy on him…read more Granted we were there at around 7PM on 10/26/2023. I've been here before, and the customer service has been good each go-round. The store is fairly organized and clean. I noticed some great deals on their Kroger branded items. They eased the inflation-induced budget a little. Not much, but a little. At night I noticed the lighting in the parking lot was okay. Could be brighter, but overall it seems to be a safe area. I like grocery shopping here far more than other places in Alamosa. Bring your own bags or gripe about being charged for plastic. Your choice.

For a Tuesday lunch, I bought the deli "Chester's Chicken chicken wing meal." Potatoes wedges and…read morebroccoli salad were chosen as sides.

Jack's Market is the go-to grocery store with most of the locals in La Jara, CO…read more My first visit ever was on 9/3/2023. While I wasn't blown away by this smallish place, it was a nice store. Not bizarrely expensive. Here's a few items we bought: - Butter pecan ice cream tub $4.59 - Russet potatoes (3-lbs) $1.99 - Bbq sauce $1.59 The lady who checked us out was friendly and funny. Large, "seedless" watermelons were on sale $4.98 each. They and the rest of the produce looked decent. I was able to slake my thirst that warm afternoon with some good bottles sweet tea out of Amarillo, TX, called Panhandle Pure ($1.09). Western Union is available here. There used to be a lady who would sell her homemade tamales here out of her car. I sure wish she would come back!

Overall I was pleasantly surprised to find Jack's, seeing as I'd completely -- with the exception…read moreof one package of strawberries -- forgotten to pack any of the groceries we bought for the camping trip. I couldn't explain it, I think I had my priorities totally wrong (or right, depending on your perspective), because I packed every last can of beer in the house. Food? Who needed food? As a general note, the little town of Antonito is located somewhere in the middle of nowhere, and Jack's is the best or only grocery store, anywhere. What we discovered: - A decent selection of produce - The occasional organic option, like milk and butter - Friendly and slightly spooky employees - More beer, and other adult drinks, there's a connected liquor store - Hunting and fishing licenses and gear - Firewood, nature's beer buddy - A public restroom (campers, rejoice!) - DVD rentals, because of course - Chile roasting, yes, it was Labor Day weekend Also, there's a "Nite Club" across the street. Someday, I want to spend a nite there.

Since moving to the San Luis Valley, Sam's Club is not accessible to me anymore (unless I drive 2-1/2 hours to Pueblo), so I looked into Valley Meat. The price of their beef short ribs is actually comparable, if not less expensive. I've also bought pork belly, and they cut them to however I want them. Meats that are not available at Walmart, City Market or Safeway, I buy them at the Valley Meat Market. Recently, I bought ox tail there. I have two large German Shepherd dogs. I buy quartered raw femur bones regularly at Valley Meat with prices that do not break the bank. My dogs love them!!! I have to mention that the folks at the meat market are also very nice and friendly. As soon as you walk in, someone will immediately help you. If you do not like to wait, give them a call and place your order. Just let them know when you want to pick up, they'll have your order ready for you. Try them...they have excellent fresh meat!!!

I do most of my grocery shopping here. I also buy my holiday gifts here. There are a number of crafters and artisans selling knitting, woven goods, ceramics, Native American arts and crafts, and redwood items (boxes, clocks, toys, planters). You can also get, from time to time, canned tuna, smoked tuna, and smoked salmon. The tuna vendor has some of the most delicious tuna I've had. Don't forget the bakeries selling fresh bread and pastries, community services with info, plant nurseries, and Vita Cucina's soups and shortcake. Be sure to sample the pesto (cilantro-almond or traditional basil) from the Dutch Gardener's booth--it's a local favorite. It's a great place to do your shopping, support the community, and see neighbors. It's one of the best things in Crescent City.
