Review 34/365 Day Challenge…read more How have i not reviewed one of my local fav grocery store. I love coming to Alberstons for their sales including the digital coupons you just clip on their ap or the $ 5 dollar Friday deals that's only valid on Friday. The store is usually fully stocked on all items unless it's a really good deal/score then they might be out but usually always restocking. The aisle and store is well kept and clean, easy to find stuff. Associates are really nice. I knew i loved this bakery department especially when I've seen their cakes on display I've admire for years with the cake decorating skills. I finally met one of the awesome cake decorator, Nicole Marquez. Really sweet mama indeed and she's very accommodating. I've referred a handful of customers to her that needed last minute cakes. And from all the customers feedbacks, she was able to accomplish all requests. I ordered a bday cake from Albertsons and showed Nicole the style of cake i wanted and she definitely delivered it. Tysm Nicole for making my bday a memorable one. You're the best! TIP~ download the Albertsons app to get great deals and offers.

Albertsons in Placentia is basically the "I got you" grocery store of the neighborhood. Clean? Yep…read more Bright? Yep. Shelves stocked like they're prepping for the apocalypse? Absolutely. And the best part--plenty of self-checkout machines, so you can skip the small talk and scan your lettuce in peace. Now, the produce section... look, it's fine, but let's just say I've had longer emotional connections with spinach that didn't wilt overnight. BUT their bakery totally redeems them. The fresh French bread--especially right before dinner--comes out so warm and steamy it practically whispers, "Take me home." And I do. Every time. The staff is generally super nice and polite, though occasionally you'll meet someone who clearly fought an epic battle with their alarm clock that morning. No shade--I usually hit the self-checkout anyway, so we all win. Overall, it's a solid, reliable grocery store with everything I need for my everyday chaos--I mean, household needs. Would I come back? Already did. Probably twice this week.

I've been to this Ralphs location a few times, as this location is not on my normal route, but have…read morenever had an issue with I visited. We were in need of fruit and came in to purchase some, happened to be Wednesday, so we also grabbed a box of the "Deals of the Day, Home Chef 8-pc Dark Meat Fried Chicken Deal (4 Thighs & 4 Drumsticks)" for $6. As we were walking from the Produce section to the Deli section, one of the Ralph employees did ask us if we wanted to sign up for a Ralphs credit card, which we politely declined. Yes, everything has gotten more expensive these days, but I have also never seen prices for bananas per lb. this high, and I shop at many different supermarkets weekly. I guess maybe it's because it's one of the few supermarkets in the area, besides the Target down the street. I had thought that the "Deals of the Day" were at the counter, but there were prepped boxes ready at the "heated" grab and go area. We were there around 1 pm, but there was no way they were prepared at 1 pm (time marked on the box), so I am guessing they were placed at least 15 minutes earlier. There were many freshly prepared fried chicken at the counter as well, but I guess those were not included for the deal. There was also no one at the counter to ask, only 1 person making sushi. Deals of the Day $6 Mon - Jennie-O Split Breast Turkey 20 oz. Tues - Home Chef Hand Breaded Chicken Tenders 5 ct. Wed - Home Chef 8-pc Dark Meat Fried or Baked Chicken Deal (4 Thighs & 4 Drumsticks) Thurs - Home Chef Deli Fresh Whole Roasted Chicken Fri - Home Chef Chicken Wings 5 ct. All the produce were neatly placed on display and the aisles were fully stocked. We ended up using their self-checkout and it was easy peasy with the discounts. There is usually plenty of parking, even with the amount of storefronts in this plaza.

They advertised discounts with Digital Coupon but it is difficult to find, clip and use it and when…read moreI used it, it did not work, the check out clerk could not scan it and she did not do any thing or know any way to make it work. Such a frustrating experience. I just want to buy some grocery, I should not have to get a degree in computer science to be able to get a discount. I'll never shop at Ralph's any more. Luckily, Alberson's is just a block away. I am sure a lot of senior citizens are frustrated too. Could this be a form of ageism?

I stopped by Whole Foods in Brea for their Family Meal. The ordering process was buffet-style with…read morea designated line, and the wait wasn't too long despite the dinner rush. The meal selection was decent, but some of the protein options looked a bit scarce by the time I arrived around 5:30 PM. Overall, the food was good and the process was fairly efficient. If you're planning to get the Family Meal, I'd recommend coming earlier in the day for the best selection, especially if you're hoping for more protein choices.

I purchased 4 large avocados and the Whole Foods market 365 pre-packaged avocados, four count. They…read morewere firm when I purchased them. I left them on the kitchen counter to ripen. 7 days later, the large avocados had enough give that I thought they were ripe. One after one, I sliced them open to see they were rotten inside. I was upset with myself for waiting too long. The next day, despite the avocados still being quite firm, I sliced open all four of the pre-packaged avocados. They were also rotten inside. Avocados are too expensive to just throw away all 8, so I got my camera to share my experience with the Yelp community. Buyer, be ware!

I've been holding off on this review because I hate when the good places go viral and I get…read moreswarmed. But Bristol Farms is such a gem, and way better than Whole Foods. Even though each store has a strengths, I feel like overall Bristol Farms is the better of the two. This is speaking as millennial and maybe Bristol Farms serves a more immature crowd. Hopefully it stays that way. They have everyday products and they have very niche products. Literally something for everyone their bakery is delicious and of course they have their classic big cookies that are served warm. I haven't had anything from the juice/coffee bar yet, but I will next, however the poke bar and the hot bar, never disappoints and that is why I'm writing this review finally. Today I had a flounder piccata mashed potatoes, perfectly roasted vegetables, and pasta Bolognese with huge chunks of beef. Everything was delicious. The flounder even remained crunchy two hours after leaving the store they don't have the variety in the hot bar that Whole Foods has, however, the quality is far superior, and the flavor is in the upper echelon compared to Whole Foods. These are consistent findings within the self-service food area even within the deli carving station. Sometimes they have turkey briskets. I believe I've even purchased prime rib there and the quality and flavor is always on point consistently the presentation of all of their items never fails either also, every time I go to Bristol Farms you're always greeted with a smile. The staff is really nice and in general they look like they're happy to be there which makes the shopping experience that much better.

I usually love shopping at Bristol Farms. Their produce, bakery, and dairy selections are…read moreconsistently fresh and high quality, which is why this recent experience was so disappointing. I went in to purchase Harry's Berries strawberries, and while I was shopping, a produce stocker named Hung took it upon himself to say, "You know those are $20, right?" I had not asked about the price. I was just buying my strawberries. The comment felt unnecessary, presumptive, and embarrassing--like he had decided I needed to be warned about the cost of something I had already chosen to purchase. As a customer of color, it also made me wonder whether he would have made that same comment to shoppers who do not share my skin color. That is not the kind of interaction any customer should have while grocery shopping, especially at a store like Bristol Farms. Other shoppers should be aware of this experience, and I hope Bristol Farms takes it seriously. Please do better and train employees not to make assumptions about customers.

I don't do my regular grocery shopping at Stater Bros, but their deals on steaks can't be beat…read more There isn't necessarily a great deal every week, but if you sign up to receive their weekly ad email, it is easy to keep tabs on their sales. Last week I loaded up on six New York steaks for $8.99/lb, and this week they have porterhouse steaks for $9.99/lb which I also loaded up on. I put the individual steaks in plastic wrap, then a layer of aluminum foil, and put them in a zip lock bag and get out as much air as possible before sealing and putting them in the freezer. This keeps them good for a long time, and I just keep buying them when great deals like this are available. There are usually two or three steaks per package, and it seems like they often put a really good cut in with a not as good cut. Look thru them all to find the best pairs with two good cuts. Every time I walk into the store, there is a sushi station right by the east entrance where somebody is always there making fresh sushi daily. It always looks so good and fresh. You can either choose from what is on display, or place an order and pick it up later after it has been prepared. I called ahead and asked if they I could order sashimi, and was happy when they said yes because I've only seen sushi on display before. I ordered half salmon and half tuna ($8.99), and it was ready when I arrived 20 minutes later. The sashimi was so fresh, and the pieces were surprisingly bigger and thicker than I expected. It came with a package of soy sauce, ginger, and wasabi. This was far superior to a sashimi sampler I ordered from another restaurant this past weekend, and this was several dollars cheaper. Judy, who was at the counter today, was so kind and friendly. I do pick up some regular grocery items from time to time, and their prices seem to be on par with or just slightly below my regular grocery store. I'll continue to take advantage of their great sales on steak. I'm happy I finally tried their sushi, it's great!

The store has declined in the past 6 months! It's still neat and clean but the Produce is OLD!!…read moreNothing fresh looking. We have complained about it before and nothing has been done. Going to start getting my produce at Whole Foods! It's literally the best. Staters meats are also old, brown in color, marked down!! Just horrible! The ribs they had out this week looked terrible, probably why they were on sale. The music is so loud and obnoxious we literally can't wait to finish up our shopping and leave. I'm not sure what's going on there????

I was traveling from Arizona to California and stopped in to pick up some snacks for the rest of my road trip. Tyler made what could have been a quick errand into a genuinely great experience. He was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful from the moment I walked into the department. Not only did he help me find everything I was looking for, but he also suggested a few items that ended up being perfect for the trip. The produce section was fresh, organized, and beautifully stocked, and it was easy to see that Tyler takes pride in his work and cares about the customer experience. Exceptional customer service can be hard to find these days, and Tyler truly stood out. His positive attitude, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond made a lasting impression. Thank you, Tyler, for making my stop at Sprouts such a pleasant one and for adding a little extra brightness to my journey. Sprouts is lucky to have you!
