We went there today. I began squealing with delight as we walked down the
first two aisles which I think were promo items. Picked up some aerosol
cheese, mandarin oranges, refried beans and chili beans. All really good
prices.
Stood in the middle of the produce aisle and said I must be in heaven! It
was that good! They had everything including International foods and many
of the prices were half that of Albertson's or Safeway.
I did buy a brand of lunch meat turkey that I haven't heard of before. They
do sell a brand of things called HyTop. I bought some little cans of tomato
sauce of that brand. Haven't tried them yet. They do sell OnCor frozen
foods. I used to love some of those when we lived on the East Coast. They
are cheap, quick to fix and they taste good. Most of that pasta was that
brand with the red rose on it.
They did have some gluten free foods. I noticed Bob's Red Mill flour and
some GF mixes. I did not notice GF pasta, but they did have a big Asian
section so it is possible there was rice pasta there. I didn't look.
What I did not noticed was organic food. I can't say that they didn't have
it. I didn't actually look for it. I didn't really need much of anything
today. I was mainly just looking and checking prices.
I will for sure go there before husband comes home because they have all
sorts of stuff that he likes to eat. Like take and bake pizzas, sub
sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, wraps, etc. Daughter and I got made up
vegetable salads (hers has chicken on it) for dinner. Very cheap prices!
Bulk candy section goes on forever. Also bulk pasta, popcorn, nuts, seeds,
etc. I didn't look really hard at the bulk stuff because I don't usually
buy it but we did buy some small amounts of the candy.
Also had a large end cap of those coffee beans that you grind. Many
different kinds. And they had the Bimbo bread! Yes! Nice looking bakery.
Loose bagels and pastries. More things for husband.
$3.33 for some kinds of soda in the 12 pack cans. Sun Drop was one such
brand. Shasta cheaper still. I think the Coke products were just slightly
more but cheaper if you get the 24 pack.
They do have some things in Costco type quantities. Daughter got a huge box
of Rice Krispies. They had the Cookie Crisp Sprinkles (regular sized box)
that everyone else seems to have discontinued. I will have to check the
price on Darigold Cottage Cheese at Costco. I think it might be cheaper
there, but Winco did have that size. Huge bagged cereals. Huge blocks of
cheese and bags of shredded cheese. But unlike Costco, they also have
normal sized things. I got a jug of Basmati rice for just under $5.
They do have the standard brands that you see in regular grocery stores but
also some off brands. I always try the off brands because sometimes they
are just as good if not better. And the ice cream section was huge! I
didn't really look at it because we don't need any today.
So we left the store with three 12 packs of soda and 7 bags of groceries. 4
were the reusable kind and three were the plastic kind. You do have to bag
your own but I don't mind. Total bill was $104 plus a few pennies. I am
very impressed and we will be going back!
