I love this market. Their meat and vegetables, fruits are always fresh. The stuff is very polite and helpful. Will definitely recommend them. read more

Had the rudest woman help at deli counter! I only purchased one item instead of four. I went to shop for more items in the store, saw same woman from deli wandering around the store. I will not be back to shop at Savemart again. Will shop at Corti Brothers and WinCo. read more

I like Save Mart cuz of the decent deals and the food is familiar and I've been eating food from there since I was a tiny child, but also it never fails every grocery trip precisely 1 item rings up $1 to $1.50 more than the price tag said it would. And every time Im in the parking lot thinking like "eh, its only a dollar, I'm not going back in for a dollar"- its like they do it on purpose and they know they will make money in the long run from not marking things correctly or not taking sale tags off. Also i shop late at night so the one staff member checking groceries is exhausted and always has a line of ppl and I just can't bring myself to bring it to his attention, he's always so nice to me. I don't care about the rewards points as much as I care about items being marked with correct prices. I wouldn't have paid 5 dollars for a pint of ice cream tonight, but alas, at this point save mart owes me like twenty bucks over the last year. read more

I read the reviews, and some people complain to much. I been shopping at this store for 35 years, and when I have a problem with a purchase the store has always fixed it. When I check-out the clerks have been very friendly by ask how are you doing, and how is your family. The store has thousands of items, and I'm sure some items don't get removed when they expirer. I read the dates, and so should all the costumers. read more

I've lived and shopped at this store for 37 plus years and I just purchased a sandwich from the deli.. The sandwich was great however the staff I encountered - not so much! If you're not going to be helpful or friendly please find another place to work... read more

I love this grocery store. Everyone is so friendly; I like how the BofA ATM is inside the store for easy banking. The fact that they are open late into the evening and early first thing in the morning is great. I've been shopping with them for years and have never had a problem witih them. I also like the location because it's close to Trader Joe's; if I can't find what I want there, I come here. read more

Why would anyone review a grocery store? I mean, when you need a loaf of bread, ice cream, a few apples, a bottle of wine, some floss sticks and a two-pack of AAA batteries, where else the hell are you going to go if your local grocer got only two stars on Yelp? Well, this is East Sacramento, which is surrounded on all sides by grocery stores - Compton's to the north, Safeway to the west, Corti Brothers to the south and another Safeway and Save Mart over the H St. Bridge to the east. East Sac also boasts some serious neighborhood social media frenzies and I'm sure I'm hardly the first to cast a list of grievances about this place out to the online ether. Save Mart on Folsom Bl. is the closest grocery store to my residence, but it often is the furthest from my mind when prowling for the items on that list. It hasn't always been that way, but they've really worked hard over the last few years to make it so. When stepping through the doors, a magical vortex takes you out of East Sac and drops you into retail environs you'd expect more from a feed store in Willows. Much of the staff has service manners which are colloquial at best. One of the omnipresent checkers saw my short-haired daughter uniformed for a soccer game and called her a "tom boy". Sure, I've used the expression before, but that was back in the 80's when I didn't have two daughters, or a clue. My, "Nah, she's just an athlete," rebuttal was countered with, "Yeah, a 'tom boy'!" Sigh. Clerks can often be found sitting on the curb in front of the store smoking on their breaks and in the summertime can be witnessed ashing their butts out in the vast grill upon which they are barbecueing up nicotine and arsenic smoked delights for the deli. They have a fairly new trove of self-checkout stations in the store. Being a supporter of labor, I try to steer clear of such job-usurping robotics. What used to be the work of four to eight employees scanning, greeting, tabulating and bagging is now the sole purview of one overseer whose primary function, I surmise, is to constantly accuse me of sneaking unexpected items into the bagging area. One night, I stood in the sole human-based checkout line behind a woman pushing a cart filled with Fancy Feast - no joke, she had about 200 cans of cat food in her cart (which per some clerical/bean counting protocol have to be scanned in individually). A courtesy clerk, from behind a wall of haphazardly stacked cans, insisted, "The self-checkout is open over there!" Now, I'm sure that's what they tell the kid to say, but does he realize he will always be bagging? Until Tom Boy McGuffin over there retires out medical with carpal tunnel syndrome, there are not going to be any new jobs for checkers. Whether this is part of the bag-boy's lament when he and his compadre fill the front entryway with cigarette smoke, I don't know. This is a fairly decent part of town, the store is always busy, but oddly there hasn't been an upgrade on much of the flooring, lighting or refrigeration in forever. The store looks old and run down inside. For a good stretch, I swore off returning. But when the 11pm urge for sugared dairy fat hits, there isn't a more convenient supply post and I keep getting sucked in. I will give credit where it's due, however, and tell you they have the best commercially packaged tortilla chips known - La Fortaleza. They are available elsewhere, but not readily, and Save Mart always keeps them in stock. They also kicked down a discount on a volume purchase of doughnuts and doughnut holes for a recent school function and, in the negotiation and procurement of those pastries, demonstrated how helpful and generous at least some of them can be. The two star review is a mashup of a complex set of emotions and circumstances. I want to give it 2 1/2 stars, to perfectly represent my ambivalence, but Yelp only deals in integers. They are weird, they lack conventional customer service tactics, but they are close and they are there. A shining endorsement. read more

Great produce section. They actually have some fresh seafood too. Do yourself a favor and skip the self check-out. The checkers are much faster and nice folks. read more

I'm surprised at the bad reviews which, to be fair, are somewhat dated. I like this store. A wider selection would earn a fifth star because this store is a bit small. But I like the vibe here as well as the one on Fair Oaks. They seem intimate, have good lighting, are always clean and the help is friendly. I appreciate that they hire developmentally disabled people also. I use Costco for stuff I can buy in bulk like coffee, paper goods and office supplies, but in my experience the produce, meat, fish, wine and bread prices are consistently lower than Safeway, Raley's or Bel Air. read more

When it was lucky's in the 80's and 90's, before yelp existed, this was my family grocery store and I'd have to say it was always a great store with many friendly and familiar faces. It took some changes under different names since then, and had challenges with options, but seems to be a place with anything one needs, maybe at a slightly higher cost than trader joes, but is trader joes open until 1:00am? read more

This store has to be one of my favorite stores even though I really don't like shopping at Save Marts... Very clean & good customer service is probably why I like it. read more

In these day of instant customer feedback, automatic reviews, transparency and general civility; it would seem that merchants understand that the consumer is really in the driver seat when it comes to obtaining superior service, polite interactions and the expectation that employees AND management treat customers accordingly. Well, the daytime managers at this Savemart in East Sac either didn't get (or more likely didn't read the memo), about the requirements to remain employable. Arguing and treating 3rd party vendors and delivery representatives with disrespect, condescending attitudes and tone of voice, (in front of customers), may not be the most effective means of maintaining one's job - not to mention it's just simple logic and common sense that customers have more choices than ever and are increasingly willing to lodge complaints due to the negative interactions and general disrespect they encounter (like what occurred with my effort to have a civil conversation with management at this location). read more

Why the low ratings!? One reason why Savemarts attract me is because they have BOAs inside. I'm glad I decided to browse and shop a little bit as well, because its always fun to go through such a large variety of items before returning home, and even better when there are sales, AND even better when theres great customer service. On this particular night, I enjoyed the convenience of the BOA ATM, lots of items to browse through, some of those items I wanted on sale, a delicious chocolate caramel birthday cake, and friendly customer service. One of the male employees approached me and offered his help while I was browsing at the cakes. He later on approached me again and told me not to hesitate to ask any one of them for assistance. Now, I must say that I am impressed with such attentiveness during a night shift at a grocery store! read more

I never thought I would write a review for a grocery store. But I live about 5 blocks from this save mart and go there often. And every single time that I go in the staff are always so friendly. Today when I walked in not only was I greeted by a nice gentleman but he also asked if I needed any help or had questions. He did this to everyone who walked by him while he was stocking the lettuce. He seemed genuinely happy and really did want to help. It just really made my day. So thanks Save Mart for hiring and having an awesome staff! read more

Stopped in today on my lunch break. I just had a few items to get so I figured I'd be okay. Surprisingly when I walked in the store slightly resembled a Bel Air. It was a lot nicer than I'd expected.The produce section had good quality fruits from mostly the same brand as a Raley's/Bel Air. The store was even larger than I thought it would be. I guess for some reason I was expecting FoodsCo quality beause I'd never been to a Save Mart other than a brief visit to the one in Galt. I enjoyed being greeted by the friendly staff, as I'd walk into their department I was not ignored like I'd be at a Wal Mart. At my checkout, I let their clerk know I was happy with the customer service there. He said, "That's the key in this business". Very well. read more

This is by far my favorite grocery store. They always have what I need and the checkers are awesome! I'm there all the time and Kathy and Leo are my favorite checkers even though they are all great read more

This store is 3 stars, close to our house and customer service is good. Just a medium though in my book.

Bank of America satellite location inside with two ATMs as well. Two Red Box DVD stations across from the ATMs. They have everything a normal supermarket would have, just with more off brands and cheaper prices. This specific location is never busy, and always feels "safe." Parking is never full. Deli runs specials on deli meats and cheeses all the time. They also have 4 self check out stations that rarely have a line. Overall better shopping experience and more bang for the buck than the Safeway down the street. The bathroom is in the back stock room and it's awkward going there or standing in line waiting because they are so small. read more

Decent grocery store! It's hard to be overly critical of this place. I don't require much help when shopping, but I can tell you that the checkout staff has always been friendly, and the grocery items that I depend on being there, are almost always in stock. The prices are fair, not as low as some of the high volume mega stores, but you pay for convenience and shorter lines. I do the majority of my grocery shopping here, and will continue to do so. read more

Cashiers are just rude Had 2 bottles of wine (so was unable to use self checkout) and noticed in line that one of the bottles was missing its foil. I did a quick google search to confirm the bottle should have had a foil capsule covering the cork. I didn't want the wine missing its foil so I told the cashier and instead of just putting it away she gave me grief about why I didn't want it and insisted that the bottle must have come like that. Lady, I didn't claim you personally have been removing foils on your lunch break..... Just do your job and don't be rude to customers Friday 5\8 5pm read more

Broad selection, good prices, friendly service. Conveniently located between Corti Bros and Trader Joe's, and right next to a RiteAid, so you can get all your shopping done -- fancy food and regular stuff -- in one easy trip. read more

For price and selection, this is the best shopping in East Sac. Geez that makes me sad, but it's either here or Safeway and I'd rather drag myself to Savemart on my hands and knees with two broken legs than go to Safeway....but that's another review. The cashiers here are laughable. It doesn't matter if the line is to the back of the store, they'll chit chat with one another, and lazily bag your groceries like they don't care if you starve to death waiting to be rung up. The work ethic is lacking for sure, but so are the manners ~ You're lucky if you're acknowledged at all. Thank goodness there's a self-check out. It doesn't matter how many groceries you have, that will always be your fastest route out the door. I have to confess that once I loaded a whole cart full of stuff only to get to the registers to find the self check-out closed! I left the whole cart at the front of the store and left empty-handed. It just wasn't worth it. read more

Excellent bakery! Perfect birthday cake, fabulous customer service. Not a CakeWreck experience, everything was spelled correctly and the cake was ready for pick up at the time promised. Way better than the sheet cakes at the big warehouse. read more

Not sure if the service has improved or if I've learned to avoid the problem areas. Now, about 80% of the time I don't have to go find someone to staff the butcher counter. We're at about 60% at the deli, which may seem low, but that's a 200% improvement. read more

I went there yesterday to buy the crabs and clams that were advertised for this week. The lady was nice. She said if I want her to rinse the 2 crabs with water because there's ice in it. I said yes...then she weigh and wrapped them...then weigh and wrapped the clams. When I got home and unwrapped them. OMG...the crabs and clams are solid, very solid frozen. What a rip-off!!! That means I paid for the frozen water inside the crabs and clams. I'm calling the attention of the MANAGEMENT. This is not fair. I should be paying only for the crabs and clams...not for the ice that goes with them. The lady at the counter didn't tell me that what I'm buying are solid frozen. I thought when she rinsed the crabs they will be thawed. read more

This supermarket has plenty of parking and is in a great shopping center. The store has wide aisles for plenty of shopping carts. It's organized similar to other grocery stores, so you can usually guess where something might be if you don't know. The clerks are friendly during checkout and provide the quality service. They have self checkout if you decide you want to do it yourself. I went in recently because they had a coupon for a free rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. I grabbed a few other things and my visit was a success. read more

Their produce section has some of the freshest and best priced veggies. Great service.

Their bakery is excellent. Irena is the best! She was so very nice and helpful. I needed a cake for my daughter's confirmation and she came through for me with a custom design. Thank you Irena. read more

If I could give another 1/2 star (for 3 1/2 total), I would. But 4 stars is just 1/2 too many. I'll admit up front, I'm a picky grocery shopper. I actually visit 3 different grocery stores on shopping day, just because they all carry different things that are a part of my regular menus. This particular store has bacon at the meat counter I love, and amazing teriyaki wings in the deli, along with a salsa in the cheese section and tortilla chips on the foreign foods isle, that I cannot find ANYWHERE else. I usually end up buying a few other staples at this store as well, but those items keep me coming back. Their selection is fairly decent but I've found that the cheaper brands, or brands on sale, tend to run out quickly compared to their pricier counterparts. Not sure if this is planned but I find it more than coincidental. Customer service is typically good but unfortunately, the few times it was less than acceptable tend to stick out in my memory. There is plenty of parking and it's not far from light-rail for those that are on foot. read more

It's within walking distance to my house so it's convenient, but I hate going there. The self checkout stands suck because when you buy liquor they still have to have a human come up and ring you through. They no longer have a Starbucks inside, and their brand selection and prices are not the best. Sometimes their discounts are really fishy, too. They might mark a single Soy Milk down to about $3 but the twin pack is still $7. What the hell is up with that? I have complained about it and they just laugh it off, like I'm just some sort of pesky jerk. Also, once they were selling root beer floats to raise money for DIABETES RESEARCH! I can't wait for their cigarettes for cancer benefit. read more

Produce is very fresh. Deli is great, especially the updated salads. Well stocked. Friendly staff. It's a nice neighborhood grocery store.

The late night staff in the store is amazing! I am an out of towner that got lost on my road trip. This was the first place I found that was willing to help me. The places I stopped at before this acted like I was a waste of time and didn't give me the time of day I went in to go get a charger for my phone so I could get back on my google maps. I asked the employee there where they were, he kindly directed me on my way. I asked him if I couldn't find the one I needed if I could use a phone there so I could get ahold of somebody. he instantly pulled out his phone and started getting directions. I found my charger and they even let me plug it in to call somebody to let them know what was going on. I went to my car and quickly found out it was not the charger but the fuse in my car was going out. Now I'm in a panic because I'm a smaller girl, from a small town, lost at 10 at night, and have absolutely no idea where I am. even though I had his hand written directions, I was in to much of a panic and was scared. I went back in and they let me plug my phone back in and call somebody to have them come find me and guide me to where I need to be. the staff even let me stay inside and wait for him. both times I went to my car I was escorted to make sure made it safely. I just wanted to take a moment to let them know how much I appreciated what they did for me. these people went completely out of their way to help me. they were so kind and helpful. You guys took off that extra added amount of stress I wouldn't have been able to handle. its people like you that make this world a better place to live in. from the bottom of my heart, I am so thankful for you and the crew here. you truly are amazing. read more

Best customer service and employees from management down to service clerks. Georgia is a true peach.

Horrible store.....looks really dirty and outdated....produce is not pretty or good and flowers I have purchased twice now, got them home and they had MOLD in the stems from sitting in water too lone and not taken care of ......bought filets there and were tuff! Place needs a complete make over!!!!! LONGGGGGG overdue! read more

We love this awesome neighborhood market. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this store. The GM (John), heck, the every single employee I have encountered, are all excellent people that are ready to meet your grocery store needs. read more

They are awesome!! I left my wallet in my cart and their employee Richard found it and brought it to the manager. I can't thank them enough for their kindness. I will now only be shopping at Save Mart!!!! read more

This is the best save Mart in the area not only is the staff friendly they're also very helpful and they make me feel like I'm part of the the neighborhood store. John the store manager is great also is very attentive and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep customers happy read more

The produce is what makes this place. Jerry in produce has been there for years and he really knows his stuff. The meat department is good too. I do wish they would open more lines. read more

We love Save Mart! The best customer service ever--helpful, pleasant, friendly. We get points with the member card and get rewards like knives and discounts on groceries. Surprisingly good selection of cheese, condiments and deli foods. Love it! read more

The Save Mart Supermarket on 5600 Folsom Blvd. in Sacramento CA. is a very expensive grocery store. When it use to be Albertson, I found alot of savings. Alot of items are overpriced and just not marked down like you would think. I went in there yesterday (Mistake) just for the last time, purchased a small amount of items and my bill was almost $100.00. Never again!!! read more
