As in they get into trouble if they allow you to get your extra item or 2. My bad for missing 1 item when I did a quick count. Grief! As to not get the cashier into trouble, I bought my 1 extra item on a separate ticket. NOW FOR THE PETTY PART... Each card transaction costs winco money. Please join me in ALWAYS running your card at least twice if not more when checking out at winco. No one should be getting into trouble because of an extra item or two!! Winco corporate has gone insane!!! They seem to forget that there are many, more pleasant stores to shop at.

I like Winco and have had no problems. Until now. My husband has been doing the shopping and I…read morehadn't been to Winco in a few months. In that time I was surprised at how many of the products were now Winco brand rather than name brands. Bulk oatmeal had so much "fines" in it that after sifting with a colander there was about 3 cups of instant oatmeal rather than whole oats. Then looking for 36 oz of Adams peanut butter..no more only Winco brand which is made of hydrogenated oil!! Holy crap that stuff is awful for you!! One tiny jar only all the rest was hydrogenated junk! I prefer name brands as company brands are often inferior of quality and and sure is with Winco products. They do have a good deli and their meat quality is good, especially prices! I will still probably shop here but be looking for better prices on certain items else where! I expect long lines and crowds and try to shop when the crowds are less.

We have a habit of checking this store on a regular basis because they offer a variety of…read morerestaurant style products from food to kitchen tools, bread to a very large variety of both walk in freezer and refrigerated (rooms). Planning an event, say with BBQ or even an evening of a variety of dishes, including sea foods, please do yourself a favor and make time for a visit. The staff? What can I say, they know where everything is and they are efficient. We've been through a couple name changes! The coffee selection with every coffee flavoring you could imagine! Say you want to plan an event where people would like to take leftovers home? There's a couple isles full. Cleaning stuff? This list just goes on and on. If you are not a restaurant owner then pick an off time to just come and browse. I'm pretty certain you will find some good reasons to return, many actually. We love it, love the staff, the place is clean.

After several days of unhealthy travel meals, we showed some restraint this time and ordered the Sesame Ginger Salad with chicken. It was excellent! Every ingredient was incredibly fresh, right down to the carrot slices. Meanwhile, the smash burgers and everything else we saw coming out of the kitchen looked AMAZING. It was difficult not to have order envy! The ambience and music could not be beat. Such a cool, relaxed setting and exactly the kind of place we love finding when we're traveling. I hope we find ourselves in the Salem area again because we will absolutely make the detour back--and next time we're getting that smash burger!

With no preservatives, there is nothing artificial about you. You keep it real with your natural brew. Your 'tear here' slit is such a tease. You show a little skin then invite me to come hither to devour you. You hide at undisclosed locations, waiting for me to find you. Since 1645, you have been winning the hearts of many. For that I am loyal to you. It aches my heart that I cannot come visit you in Oregon, but fret not. We shall meet at a secret rendezvous when our stars align once again. Til then, Kikkoman will have to suffice. Farewell Yamasa. Don't look back. Just go.

He was very kind and helpful; we were joking about how un-lucky the lottery has been for both of us, but hoping that maybe it would now change because of my fortune cookie lucky numbers and my "lucky" lotto sheet. So...when it DOES happen, you can bet I will be returning to give this fellow a nice tip. In the meantime it gives me another place to stop in on my nightly walk. This little convenience store is located on the corner of the Highland Gardens shopping center, right across from Jack & The Box. (The one with Privet Deli/Bakery, Toadally Coffee, Al-Aqsa Mediterranean Food, etc...) NOTE: It is NOT open 24 hours. I will update my review and business page with photos and their business hours very soon.

I love Grocery Outlet. I pretty much shop there every weekend. It is my first stop to get as much…read moreas I can on my grocery list (plus plenty of weird and wonderful unexpected finds that aren't). Employees are always nice enough and some are real charmers. They have really cool stuff you won't find elsewhere and most of the time their prices are less than your standard grocery chain. All that remains true at this new location in Salem, but I have to admit I didn't love it. I think the layout and design is a lot more "outlet" than the ones I usually frequent and I just didn't like the feel. I'm sure they had all the same great products, but I honestly didn't enjoy shopping and didn't wander like I usually would. It's not really their fault and I don't know how else to say I didn't like the vibes but....well I didn't. Once thing I'll give them is that they had some seriously gorgeous and fairly rare philodendrons in their plant section. I didn't see them until after I'd checked out, but they did tempt me to get back in line. So while I won't actively avoid this store, you are more likely to find me at Lancaster Drive when in Salem.

The parking lot is much more accessible and the storefront, more welcoming. The aisles are wider and the store, brighter. Selection seems to be the same; you can find a great selection of coffee, closeout health and beauty, and international options. They usually run a deal on turkeys for the holidays, but I'd suggest to throughly check any perishables, as deals here come with a risk of going bad quickly, I'm not sure if the increased prices are due to the move or what our government is doing to the economy, but my favorite sea salt sunflower seeds went up from $2.99 to $5.99 in the past several months. I usually have favorite stores for particular items, so check out this new location (tucked back by Northern Lights movie theater) and share your review!
