So if you think I'm talking about her, you are right. I'm new here. So when she asked me if I needed help or if I needed bags and I said no thank you. I forgot what she said. But I remembered that she made me feel like she knew me personally and not like I was a stranger. So kudos to her. Also, this store is clean and had everything I wanted as in stock. I checked expiration dates on everything I wanted to buy as usual. No expired crap here. So they get expired stuff off the shelves before you know it.

I had to give a shoutout to ANTON in the seafood department. He fried fish for us and others with…read morethe biggest smile and a really welcoming presence. Also, I just learned that Ralphs will FRY your FISH for free, which is such a great perk. I had no idea and only discovered it by chance. They can fry shrimp, salmon, and tilapia at the very least. Honestly, fried fish and a couple beers, kick it back. I'll definitely be back.

When they shop for you, they choose the worse available item. Thought I was good but it was moldy when I opened it

Opened only to find it all moldy inside!

There's a lot happening in this store. As soon as you walk in, its right in your face. There's the cashiers in the front of the store, produce on the right side, aisles in the middle, protein in the back wall, butchers in the back left corner, and bakery on the left wall. The building doesn't feel super big and everything feels on top of each other. You get two people in the aisle and it feels pretty small. That being said, everything felt in place. I didn't have to run around or find substitutions for what I wanted because things were well stocked. Cashiers weren't super chatty but they gave a head nod and acknowledged you and honestly that's a win. Food were pretty fresh. I got a few things to eat that same night and some the next day. Even the gummy worms I got weren't hard and stale. Parking lot is solid. Nice sized lot. Off a main street. Not well lit. So I would park closer when the sun sets.

I can always tell where they're from because when he gets flowers from other places, they just don't open and blossom the same way as the ones from Vons and Albertsons. Not only are these our go-to grocery stores, but their floral department is truly amazing. The flowers are fresh, beautiful, and long-lasting. They can even create custom arrangements for you--roses or whatever you have in mind. Highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for quality flowers and great service!

It's one of those places I never saw until the need came up! And so glad for the discovery! It was on the way home. Found the fuel cans quickly and was out just as fast.

Dave's Killer Bread is the same price it is everywhere else, a cabbage head cost me $2.71, and a package of grapes $6.99. I should have searched the app before. If McDonald's has the nerve to do it, should be far fetched for this place lol. Anywho, this visit the store was clean and not super duper packed! They actually had several checkouts open with NO line. The parking lot however was kinda busy which is weird because lots of people were chillin in their cars but yet, the increased number of eyeballs watching was comforting because that's more people looking out if things get weird. idk I get paranoid in public at times lol but especially at places like food4less. All in all good visit, they have a big store with a large selection idk how good the deals are but it's also in a decent neighborhood I'd say it's worth a visit.

This location has a similar layout to my home store in Cerritos, with most/all items available. Yet, it seems more sterile & bland, which could be just in my head.

I came in for a snack, and I purchased my snack. Aldi, the parent company of Trader Joe's, has great prices & easy to navigate stores.
