So Schwegel's is my local small grocery store. They have…read morejust about everything I need and great sales! Just yesterday I got in on their sale of Snow crab legs and my family had a great feast! Their customer service is wonderful and they are so nice every time I come in. Oh I also want to mention their house made sausages. Unbelievably good brats. I particularly like the cherry brats, the cranberry horseradish brats, and the Italian sausage. WONDROUS! So if you live in Alton please utilize this little treasure. It's family owned and it shows in how they treat the customer!

Schwegel's is a fantastic little local grocery store with a top-notch butcher counter. It's a shame…read morethat they don't get the attention they deserve. The customer service is what you'd expect from a small town market, personalized and friendly. They offer monthly meat bundles that are budget friendly. Their brats will put, Johnsonville Brats to shame and Jimmy Dean's sausage cannot hold a candle to their sausage. Proof that buying local is a good thing. Some of their brands are generic, but with today's economy that is a good thing. There are lots of single little coolers around the store, filled with perishable products. Take note of the prepared foods near the butcher counter. You'll find some delicious side dishes for those tasty brats. Another end-cap to check out, is their branded spices. They're just as good as those expensive name brand spices. If you haven't shopped the aisles of Schwegel's, I recommend you correct that ASAP. You just might become a frequent shopper.

I was shopping another store in Monticello Plaza and decided to stop by and shop Ruler Foods, too…read more It was my first time and after only one visit, I already know I will return for another shopping expedition. First off, if you haven't been here before, let me tell you it is similar to Aldi's. You pay 25¢ to use one of their shopping carts and once you plug it back in to the corral, you magically get your quarter back. You also need to bring your own re-usable bags to pack up your savings. My first visit was a quick stroll up and down the aisles. The store was super clean and well organized. I was surprised how wide the aisles were. was impressed with the canned goods and also the K-Cup offerings. To my delight, they had my favorite fruit, Raspberries on sale. I grabbed two pints for $5. They even had fresh cut flowers for $5. The cashier was friendly and professional. After ringing me out, he gave me a coupon for $5 off my next purchase of $50. That's a 10% savings. I think I can do that on my next visit, because my pantry is getting real low and it is time to stock-up.

What could improve? Here are a few thoughts…read more 1. Came in with a very basic shopping list of 12 items. 3 had been discontinued, 1 was priced THREE TIMES HIGHER than Walmart. 6 we're out of stock. I bought TWO. 2. Only one check lane open with a new cashier being trained. One customer ahead of me. Took 14 minutes to check out! 3. I didn't look at every single shelf tag but where I DID look, there were 37 items missing a price tag, or with a shipping tearstrip only, with no price. 37! Sad.

Luckily, when I shared with the guest I was having a hard time finding it, she told me Wal-Mart is where she always finds it. So I did a quick google search and my Godfrey Super-center had it in stock. The stars were aligned and I lucked out, getting the last box of 12. While I was in the store, I noticed a sale on lemons. As I strolled through the produce department I saw good prices on limes and oranges, too. So, I went ahead and grabbed all my garnishes for my party. The reason I removed a star is, the store could have used a good cleaning and at check out they do not have "tap" as an option. Update your, Point of Sale.

It was showing a much higher price . We took the 50.00 bike to return desk to see if they could sell it to me for price showing where the bike was in the rack .I was told that they did not have the authority to do so, that manager would make that determination. I asked if I could speak with him. The desk called for him to talk with me. About 15 minutes later a person walked up . His personal appearance lead me to believe he was a customer not the manager. I asked him if I could buy the bike for the price that was listed . In no certain terms was he willing try to work with me . I went home and contacted Godfrey Walmart and was able to get a bike shipped to me that slightly cheaper for $50.00.Very bad experience !!!

When I lived in the area we went here so much they knew us when we walked in (sad, I know). Since…read morewe moved away I have grown to appreciate the local Walmart there even more. The customer service was top notch. The shelves were always well stocked. My local Walmart now is referred to as "the out of stock store." If you have a list you are guaranteed to leave with only 2/3 of the things on that list as my current Walmart WILL be out of stock. My local Walmart must have a beacon atop of it that calls out to all those crazy "people of Walmart" to go there. We have more than our share of these people. We may have 2-3 lanes open. All the serve yourself checkouts are open. Those checkouts are backed up because no one wants to wait in the couple other services lanes actually open. Many of the staff are rude or cranky. Who could blame them? Working in those conditions. Enjoy your good Walmart because they're not all that way. We quit going except when we feel we have no choice....maybe once every couple months.
