| - Winco is a great grocery store. I can get almost everything I need there.
This place gets a bad rap and I don't know why.
Here's their angle: They don't take credit cards (but debit is OK. And it says so ON THE DOOR) and they don't hire people to bag (you just do it yourself). Then they take the savings and make their prices lower, and I don't see anything wrong with that. I don't know what they pay their employees but they certainly don't seem to be the soulless braindead wage-hostages you see at your average WalMart.
There's no pharmacy though, and their vitamin/supplement selection is kind of weak so there's still a need for me to go to Frys once in a while. But they have awesome stuff there. Tons of things you can but in bulk by the pound (Candy, rice, dog food, snacks, nuts, coffee, honey, peanut butter, and more)
We're going on a camping trip soon and we found packs of hotdogs for like 60 cents, camping-size tanks of propane for about 3 bucks, giant marshmallows, and 3ft wooden skewers for them all on the cheap.
I got a 12 pack of off-brand 5 Hour Energy for like $8 there last time too and they are just as good.
And the $2 pre-made pizza crusts...amazing deal.
I really like this place. Of course it's busy because the prices are so good, so go late. They are open 24Hrs for a reason. Haters gonna hate.
