I was actually driving and I happened to be driving by WINCO. I remembered seeing a long line of customers waiting at the small section of the butchers area.

It could have been crispier (I just popped it into the air fryer for a few minutes and it was perfect,

My experience at WinCo today was met with a sour note…read more I tried a free sample, came back to return the bag that I was originally going to purchase, and then explained it was because I wanted another option. They kindly told me which aisle the other options were, but they also asked me to bring back the product they ran out for samples for. I expressed I was personally in a rush because my party was at check out, also on a schedule. I couldn't find it, so I told them and they asked for me to stay put to man the station while they went to grab it. I see a few problems with this approach. Firstly, it puts a lot of pressure on me, a customer, to bring back the right product. WinCo is big and I couldn't find the product. Secondly, they should have had an employee be back up to look after the station, and not a customer that was wanting to leave. This is also a lesson learned for myself because I personally should have said "no" to the asks to begin with. In terms of groceries, I was impressed by the variety. However, I wouldn't say it's the best priced as most items are by the pound. Some items are obvious good deals, like 25lb of carrots for $11 and $0.33 per ear of sweet corn. The interior is simple with no theatrics. A huge variety of products on display. However, if you're looking for a specific product, that's difficult as evident from my experience. Lastly, they have a Pokémon Center vending machine. I purchased a few available packs but my last pack was never dropped down. WinCo doesn't manage the machine as its third party, so I had to call the number on the machine for a refund. It was inconvenient to say the least. Overall, I think this is a great grocery store for the community. However, boundaries must be set with employees' expectations of customers.

They're interested in talking and socializing. And now it's going to cost them. Now it's too late. The community deserves better I just had a baffling experience where I came late tonight to look for a beef tallow and none of your employees knew what it was so I had to ask three people I finally found someone the grocery section which was prominently advertised at 11:99 on sale from 1499 and there was two left I decided to buy two of them and they both rang up at 1499 and so when I told the rude blonde lady that it was on sale she walked me back to the butcher section and I have attached the image where it says 1199 but she said it was her policy to only discount one of them if there was a mismatch but there's no mismatch because it was just a failure to update the thing anyway they were completely rude management was rude the security guard was rude everybody was super ab absolutely totally unnecessarily rude as well as incompetent I cannot believe you met people like this have jobs at your store it's bringing the entire neighborhood down I was completely reasonable and nice and polite and was not given the opportunity to buy some stupid goddamn beef tallow because everybody was busy having private conversations and figuring out where they wanted to go instead of doing their jobs and running a grocery store. Completely unacceptable and please let everybody know that if they don't want to be at work there are other people who require happy to have jobs in this economy. Not OK. Not cool. Especially the douche blind lady. Who isn't a real blonde. I'm sure you can figure that one out.

I never seem to see any promotions or specials, so maybe I'm just missing something! Either way, it's still one of my favorite places to stop by to stock up on packs of pho and browse the market to see what new items they've brought in. I especially love their ice cream selection and the seafood section. It's also nice to see that they've updated the food court and expanded the banchan section. The addition of the roasted sweet potato machine is a fun touch too!

My wonderful friend recommended me the Atlantic Salmon with lemon herb butter from Trader Joe's. I…read morehappened to be in Long Beach for an event. I drove on over to this TJ to see if they had any of the frozen salmon. Parking was available in the front and back of the store at the Los Altos Shopping Center. Store was bright and clean. They did have some of the salmon I was looking for, but not a whole lot. I asked one of the staff members if it would be okay for the frozen salmon to be out in the open for a few hours since I had to drive a couple hours before I got back home. He said it should be fine. Thank you Sir! I ended up getting 3 frozen salmons just to try them. Salmon was super tasty and well seasoned. Perfect with a bowl of white rice. One small gripe, tons of melted butter from the 3 blotches of butter on top. Maybe cut down to one blotch. Just a thought.

This seems to be one of the average-sized yet spacious TJ's I've been to, and it has most of the daily and featured items in stock. It gets pretty busy at times, as does the parking lot. The staff is friendly and helpful when needed. I appreciate that they have live cashiers and not self-checkouts. Prices are also good to average. A few personal favorites: - The freshly prepared food and salads - Organic fruits and veggies - The variety of pressed juices, probiotic drinks, and wellness shots - A nice selection of wine, beer, and spirits - Plenty of snacks (chips, salsas, dips, etc) - A good variety of meats, cheeses, and frozen items. - Can't forget the skin and health care needs. Some real winners for a fraction of the cost of big-name brands. ie. Vitamin C Serum and Daily Facial Sunscreen that my family loves. - Complimentary samples Depending on what I want to eat or cook at home, TJ's can provide most of what I need. There are some great items I've bought and will buy again, but there are also some disappointments. Overall, I like to shop at TJ's on the regular and am looking forward to the next trip.

In the early mornings, they are stocked with the mini totes at the time I went in December 2025. I came again during Valentines day and they came PREPARED. An over abundance of flowers were placed outside and really based on honor system for you to go inside and pay as there are no employees outside monitoring it. This Trader Joe's is almost always stocked and everyone working there is super friendly. If I lived near here, I would definitely come back here often. There is plenty of parking and so many shops nearby for more shopping! 10/10 would recommend.
