This Albertsons has recently been remodeled yet again, probably to encourage business since the…read moreVons on E Valley has closed. That makes this the closest Albertsons/Vons to me now. A good addition is the sushi section, because not many locations have that. They often do $5 Friday sushi offers, but obviously only at locations that carry it. The front of the store is rearranged slightly, but a lot of the aisles are similar. Across the sides and back haven't changed much, so the front is changed the most. The self checkout lanes are now in the more common feeder style, as opposed to back to back style like before. They also rearranged the parking lot slightly, including adding a couple of the strange straight-in handicap spots that you see at some of the Walmarts.

I usually buy meat and seafood at Major Market across town, but was in a hurry so on 6/10/26 at…read morearound 4:30 PM I stopped at this nearby Albertson's. It's a fine store, especially after the remodel. I needed Italian sausage and was at the meat counter looking at options. A woman called out from the back asking if I need anything, so I told her and asked if the only Italian sausage they have is the mild one in the display case. She said they have more in packages around the corner and there are two brands, Cantellas and Johnsonville. I asked which is better quality and she said in a snotty tone "I don't know, I don't eat sausage". The fact that I was asking for her professional opinion and not personal preferences was lost on her. I'm never buying anything from that meat/seafood counter again. I tried several times to report this via the Albertson's website, but their contact form was not working. Anyway, I went around to the packaged options and bought some Johnsonville mild Italian sausage. Damn if it wasn't the absolute worst chewy tasteless sausage I've ever had. Literally threw it away.

We were on our way to the San Diego Safari Park when we did a quick pit stop to pick up snacks and…read moredrinks at Trader Joe's!! As always, the store is bright with pretty displays of flowers and flyer items of new foodie products! The employees are always stocking, ordering, or helping someone. It seems like the most friendly people here. Trader Joe's is in the smaller scale for groceries. However, don't let that fool you! It has your produce, frozen meals, meats, snacks, drinks, baked goods and more. It has flyer items. The uniqueness makes us frequent the store over and over again! Overall, we love shopping at all Trader Joe's locations. We bought chips, popcorn, cookies, and coconut water for this quick run! Ample parking early morning.

The store is well stocked with an ample selection of items that you need. I love the meat department's large vacuum packed cuts of meat like the pork and the beef. Look for special discounts in the clearance section by the restrooms or marked on the package. The checkout lanes are named after well known streets and avenues in Escondido. Large parking lot. Definitely a return visit call!!!

Because it is only $1.99, and they are usually fully stocked (unlike Dollar Tree). I also like that you can look up items in the app, to see what a specific location may have in stock. Because they have closeouts, you have to just choose from whatever they have. So it helps to look ahead of time for ideas. Small parking lot just for them, never a problem getting a spot. And not a huge store, so not usually too much of a libe most times.

I never once ever stole in my life, never have, never will so I'm very confused as to why I was being followed around, idk if it's cause I had grocery bags in my cart or something but it really upset me.
