Great store.Very clean and very well stocked. Love the fried chicken and the fresh French bread.

Stopped here on our trip to refresh our dry ice supply. We were happy to find dry ice so easily This store was very clean and well organized with friendly and very helpful employees. And, the restroom was immaculate. Important things for traveller's. Nice grab and go section with some gorgeous fruit bowls. We found a Portuguese section in canned goods with a vast display of canned Portuguese seafood (tuna, sardines, octopus, squid stew and more). And some lovely Portuguese wines. We shopped! read more

**Unnecessarily Complicated Checkout Process and Poor Customer Service** I frequently shop at SaveMart and always check sales on my phone before heading into the store. However, once inside, I couldn't get reception to clip my coupon for one of the items I was purchasing. I approached the cashier, who was incredibly helpful and patient, asking how I could still get my coupon discount. She tried to clip the coupon on my SaveMart app after ringing up my groceries, but she had the same issue with the app loading. She even asked the head clerk if the discount could be applied manually. The head clerk came over and, instead of assisting, whispered to her (but loud enough for me to hear), "Make sure they have their coupons clipped before checking out." It felt dismissive and unprofessional. While the cashier continued trying to load the app, the head clerk kept walking by, making unhelpful comments about how long the process was taking. This only added unnecessary pressure to an already stressful situation for both the cashier and me. Despite this, the cashier went out of her way to grab the free promotional soda I earned with my purchase. Eventually, after multiple attempts, the head clerk begrudgingly agreed to let her manually apply the coupon. My total came to **$68.75**, and I handed over cash. Just as the transaction was nearly complete, the head clerk unnecessarily intervened again, insisting the cashier void the entire transaction and take me to the customer service desk to start over. At the service desk, the head clerk re-rang my groceries, and my new total came to **$71.37**--higher than before! When I asked why there was a difference, he shrugged and said, "I don't know, I just rang it up." This was an unacceptable response, especially since the purpose of moving to the customer service desk was supposedly to ensure the charges were correct. I also asked him if I had received the promotional soda for free, as I was now trying to figure out the discrepancy in the total. His response? **"Yes, it's free, but if you want to pay for it, you can."** WOW! I couldn't believe the level of poor customer service this guy was displaying. It was the worst customer service I've seen from a lead clerk in a very long time. The kiosk for entering my phone number to access rewards was poorly positioned, hidden behind advertisements at the far end of the desk, and I had no idea he was waiting for me to input my number. Rather than offering clear instructions, he impatiently looked at me, adding to the frustration. When I pointed out the price discrepancy and asked why I was paying more, he didn't bother to investigate. No one was waiting behind me, so there was no urgency, but instead of addressing the issue, he rushed through the process, leaving me with a higher total and a sour experience. It ultimately took longer to check out my groceries than it did to shop for them, all because of unnecessary interventions and poor customer service from the head clerk. SaveMart, if you value your customers, please train your staff to handle these situations with more professionalism and respect. I wish there was a Safeway in town. read more

Today corn was $1.50 an ear! Yep, 2 for $3. In September, in season. Strawberries? $4.99 "Choice" filet mignon? $29/pound, extra tough. I was able to buy a single item today. "Rustic" loaf of bread for $3.49. It was the last one too. "Lucky" me. Please "Save" Mart, go out of business ASAP. Your pathetic food quality along with prices that increase every day doesn't serve any community in California, except maybe your employees. Los Banos desperately needs better choices of food. Right now it's basically Walmart. read more

I called four times to place an order from the deli department. They never answered and I was disconnected each time, I gave up.

Don't take the survey on receipt it's a waste of time they don't honor it when you go shopping it doesn't say so on the receipt but you have to take the survey within three days and use it within three days. Who does that? The bagger/courtesy clerks, don't even offered to help carry groceries to the car anymore. They let those of us who are disabled or elderly struggle with a huge grocery orders alone. It's really a shame. It was the only decent grocery store in town and now it isn't any more. They've stopped carrying a lot of specialty items I purchased there~I guess I'll be driving out of town to do my grocery shopping from now on~ read more

I have no idea why I've never thought to review Savemart. Not as if I haven't been shopping here since moving. Anyhow, this store is in large shopping center therefore parking is ample. I go to Savemart when I need an item that is a little more specialized. When I need an asian or an middle eastern ingredient I can almost always find it here as opposed to Walmart, Target or Food4Less. The bathrooms are always clean and well stocked. The seafood is fresh. I like the juicebar they have in the front of the store where they offer freshly pressed juices. We are also fans of their tri-colored tortilla chips. They are thin and aren't greasy, think Chili's tortilla chips. Their store is always organized and well stocked. Produce department is so neat and produce is always fresh which lends this part of the store such vibrant colors. Every time I have gone they have an enough cashier's to keep the lines flowing. Now that we are in the time of Covid they have someone standing by the door and ensuring that all the carts being returned are wiped down and disinfected before you take yours. Prices are decent. Especially if you catch a good seafood or meat deal. Everyone is eager to help and don't make you feel like you are bothering them. They truly want you to have a good experience and be a repeat customer. This past Christmas we purchased our Christmas tree from Savemart. They had better prices than Home Depot and had better looking trees than Walmart. Their tree's are being shipped in from Oregon. The trees were tall and full. From what it looked like they had several tree deliveries to ensure they were well stocked. The only "complaint" I have has nothing to do with the store but the street right in front of the store. A few months back a lady was struck by a lifted truck and is still in the hospital with serious brain injuries. For some reason people drive really fast right outside the store. I've been there on several occasions where cars AND trucks are still driving really fast through there. It might be time to place some speed bumps right outside the store just to help with this problem. I'd hate to see another person hit there. read more

The store is very organized and clean, it is very easy to find whatever I need. The staff in the bakery/deli is very helpful everytime I am there. I called to place a cake order and this nice young lady named Angela walked me through every step of ordering. She helped me decide on decorations for my nephew's cake and was very detailed with the order. The cake came out great and a very reasonable price. I definitely recommend ordering cakes from here, the decorators are very good. read more

The only reason I like this store is because they have organic produce and more meat options. But I'm so fed up with everytime I'm there I have to check the stupid expiration date because they never have a good control of food that has gone bad. Today is one of the many times I got something from the store and it's expired when I finally check it at home. I got a Brie cheese this time and it was so disgusting to taste it and come to realize it's expired. read more

Employees are rude and they don't help you find anything in the store. we need a trader's joes or Safeway store in Los Banos to get better quality food. Bakery department always have the same cakes and cookies need to change up their items and better service. read more

Thank you to the meat department for exceptional service throughout the years. I call so much, they recognize my voice and know my name and order. read more

Save Mart - Happy Baby - Bakeries Near Me - los banos, California

I love save mart but it's so expensive I don't ever remember it being so up there with their prices . Considering we are in a recession this is probably the worst time to buy anything in this economy right now even groceries ! I spend $230-$300 for essential food items for the month / normally would cost about $150 at food for less for the same items . Just wish they could reason with the community some how for their prices . Now I only go when I need specific items from here because you will spend a pretty penny here if u don't watch what you add to your cart . read more

Out of all the savemarts I've been to, this one is by far the worse one. It's clean and well put together unlike their employees if you can even find one. The ones at self check out just stare at you till you ask multiple times for help. I ask about a product returning and they act like I asked for their first born child. They give you the wrong estimate instead of just telling you they aren't sure or asking someone who is. Ill never forget the dudes face when I asked about vegan eggs, the confusion was real. Unfortunately we don't have much options read more

customer service is horrible cannot answer a simple question. also very pricey store where you can get a better deal elsewhere . fried chicken is good though read more

Workers at this store are rude and inconsiderate. Every time I've been to this store it almost seems like they avoid customers. They are all in the worst mood all the time and they seem to be so racist. I tried to rent a carpet cleaner and requested help and waited for over 20 minutes and not one worker came over to help. Nice store and very clean but all the employees suck. read more

Absolutely love Save Mart's, and this one is no exception. However, their urinal had been out for at least three weeks. How hard is it to get a plumber in to make necessary repairs??? My wife tells me that the soap was out in the women's room. This is not the standard I have come to expect with Save Mart. read more

This store is always clean and stocked. Vegetables and fruit are always fresh. I don't live in los banos anymore but will do my shopping here when i'm in town. I currently live in a bigger town with more options but the grocery stores don't even come close to this store. read more

Went and picked up grandsons bday cake $54.99 for a PLAIN CAKE! No decorations at all!!!! Very disappointed

Los Banos Save Mart has really declined in the past few years. They never have items and when you ask they say they have no control of their delivery truck. Yet if I drive to Patterson they have the items. Los Banos employees won't even try to order for you. There's often one or two long lines with 3-4 checkers that could open a line but they won't. They just expect you to go through a self check line. Employees seem to have no energy or interest in service. I've lived here for 40 years and many of my friends agree with this negative experience. sad but I try as much as possible to shop out of town. read more

We bought a cake for birthday party and it was expensive and the decorating wasn't the best. read more

Definitely the better of the two supermarkets in town. There's some good stuff that goes on sale, and you can take advantage of the dry goods that go on sale. Easy to get carried away here, I normally end up spending way more than I plan on walking into the place. Oh and their fresh baked bread is delicious! read more

I went in this morning and have never been treated so poorly! I was followed around by some short chubby lady and then followed outside by some guy with slicked back greasy hair for no reason other than they had nothing else to do than to make customers feel awkward. I ended up leaving everything I had in my cart at self checkout so they could see I did not steal anything! Gotta love entitled Los banos trash with their big fish in a little pond attitude! *news flash* not every new person in town is a bad person! Jerks! read more

Most of the employees have been there for so long and are so unprofessional and rude! The new people aren't trained correctly and don't know what they're doing half the time! The management is a joke from their department managers to the store managers. They're lazy and dont take anything into consideration if its not what they're used to! Regina is a front end manager and she is rude and doesn't hesitate to talk crap in front of customers and likes to argue! Won't get a dollar of my money anymore! read more

I'm loving the new save mart healthy and clean and just what this tiny town needs. Juice bar is delicious and the hot foods are better than restaurants. They're very well stocked and I'm always given fantastic customer service and help when I need it. They help me out to my car when I have a bunch of groceries and even run back when I forgot something ! read more

Overall, I like it here. I ordered a cake for my daughter's first birthday and they did an excellent job on it. I even received a free smash cake which I very much appreciated! However, I don't love the staff. I have had two negative encounters so far. One was with a worker named Riley, a young man, who I've seen on multiple occasions laughing at customers behind their backs. Very immature and unprofessional to say the least. Another was with a middle aged blonde woman with glasses who was being snippy and rushing me on the self checkout lane. read more

Save Mart is a great simple grocery store, they have most of what you need but do be expecting anything to extreme they do lean on the heathy side of choice kind of like whole food or trader joe, overall simple clean and they have fresh salsa, smoothies, and dip. read more

I want to thank the manager of the meat department today for helping a senior who wanted to purchase a leg of lamb for his Easter Dinner. My brother is single and no family near by so the manager cut him off a portion of the leg of lamb so my brother could enjoy his Easter Dinner. What a blessing to have someone so kind working at SaveMart . You made his day and he will now enjoy a wonderful dinner tomorrow. God Bless and Happy Easter read more

Sad to say the store seems to be getting worse, not just not having alot of items , I understand the Covid situation, but their customer service is worse. I waited and waited in line, then they close the line I was waiting in, opened another, a ton of people rush to the new line, so I went down to the end and got in line, waited in line, here he comes, closed the line and takes tons of other people to that line. I left, I went to food 4 less, they had everything I needed and more and it was cheaper and the clerks were very nice. I won't be going back to Savemarr ever. read more

This Save Mart is always clean and always has the freshest produce in town. The employees are always so helpful and polite. They have great deals on meats so keep an eye on out for those. Their juice bar is SO good! The 7layer dip and party trays next to the juice bar are also very good! I've been getting cakes from their bakery for years, The black forest cake is a family favorite. Their strawberry shortcake is delicious as well. My favorite is their marbled cake, fresh strawberries and whipped topping, that's the one I usually get for birthdays. Their fresh baked breads, donuts, cheese & jalapeno bread, and cornbread are delicious. They make their own flour tortillas, you can buy them raw and make them on the stove at home. They make fresh tortilla chips. They have a delicious deli as well, they make really good sandwiches. They have amazing seafood salad. The fried chicken, potato wedges and wings are delicious. They have a taco bar which aren't authentic tacos, but delicious in their own way. Definitely recommend SaveMart over other grocery stores in town. read more

This place has the best product, both in quality and selection. Prices are a bit higher than WalMart, but still pretty good. They get 3 stars because I came in last week after 10 pm because I knew they were open later than Walmart. Until 11 I believe. I was surprised to learn they were actually open until 12. Tonight I drove all the way across town and got there at 10:30. The doors are locked and when I knocked on the door they said they close at 10 every night and have been for a year. The sign in the window says store hours are 6 am til 12 every day read more

This Savemart is great for the community and I love that it is close by! All the workers that I have encountered Have been super nice and professional! They are a bit pricey, but if you're looking for discount items, you should head over to Food 4 less. I'm happy this Savemart is here and I hope it stays clean and well maintained! read more

The ladies in the deli bakery section are always friendly and helpful. And the sandwhichs are pretty damn good there. The some of the younger cashiers and baggers seem to spend their time talking to each other and ignoring the customers. read more

I'm not local so I can't say if this place is better or worse than others, but I have a few major issues with this place: 1. No handheld baskets - only carts (what?!) 2. The worst cheese selection pretty much ever However, they had sales on a lot of stuff I needed, so that's a bonus. Terrible parking layout as well, though that's not the fault of the store. Was going to rate this a 2 star, but am bumping up to 3 due to how awesome all the employees were when I asked where stuff was (consistently friendly and never acted annoyed ^_^) read more

This is the best grocery store I've ever been to. I felt like I was in a grocery store commercial because the store was so clean and the workers were so friendly. Plus their bakery is amazing and full of cakes in crazy shapes like princesses and the rest of their store has amazing selection they even have like 50 types of cheese. I definitely prefer this store over the dirty Food 4 Less in Los Banos with flies on their fruit that's always rotten. read more

I recently bought a cake and was very disappointed. The cake tasted good, however the decorating was just BAD. They crossed the "V" in Victor not the "T" how do you screw that up? Not to mention the top portion of the cake had collapsed/indented. If you need a cake for a special occasion....this might not be the place! read more

if you are someone who is on indeed looking for a job, skip this company because they post that they're hiring and when you call to ask for an update on an application you submit, all of the workers will send you to different lines and put you on hold just to hand up. whoever's the manager, they should be fired specifically for being trash, all the wrong people get job opportunities. read more

love it clean modern friendly. Love the tamale and taco bar. Fruit water bar has my husband addicted to drinking water!
