| - Hi, I am Jefe. Jefe likes saving money. My bank account likes me saving money. Other companies don't like me saving money. I don't like those companies. Point is, saving money is awesome, unless you are a communist. Are you a commie? If so, just keep scrolling comrade.......OK, American friends, I loved my first time at Winco. I will explain further, but in a nutshell, they have it all!
~What to Do~
Shop till ya dr-dr-dr-drop. This chain carries everything from produce to meat to random items like Tupperware and toys for the kids....all at great prices!
~What to Know~
Like I said, they have so much to offer. I was worried they would lack variety but I was mistaken almost immediately. I immediately checked out the healthy foods section to find numerous soy product options at lower than normal prices as well as a number of items I would never see at the regular grocery store, like Dino Kale (my personal fave). I internally price check everything, normally because I eat healthy and have specific items I am always re-purchasing. Based on experience, these prices are pretty darn low...Like $.50 less expensive tofu, which is the same brand mind you, here in comparison to anywhere else.
~What to Watch Out For~
First, check label dates. Most items do not have a long shelf life left. Keep in mind that they have lower costs because a lot of these items may be going bad so they get them on the kickback. A great example and something I did not notice until later when I left the store, was the salmon I bought (at 5.98 / lb). It was old by 4 days!!!! I cooked it anyway, because from previous experience the fish is not gonna kill ya...But still, they should have pulled that item not 1...not 2.... but 4 days prior. Not good Winco! Should you come to expect old items on the shelf? No. But in general, check the expiration date ahead of time Yelpers. Some items are not as big of bargains as you might expect. Random good examples could be the almond milk and soy milk selection, which is plentiful mind you. However they had relatively the same price for all of these items as you can find at Fry's, etc.Also finally: THEY DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS. Please remember that when you go to shop and expect to blow $100 bucks and throw it on your card. Nope! They only do EBT or debit, so be prepared.
~Whammy Time~
In all, they get 4 stars, 2 for the amazing prices on the items I identified as needs, 1 for the variety for the general public, a 1/2 star for variety in my special healthy person area, and another 1/2 star for being open 24 hours. They lose a star for not accepting credit cards, and also for the old food that was left out. Four days guys.....and they never pulled it... Geesh.
Enjoy, I will be coming back soon, once my debit account can handle it!
