| - This Winco just opened last week while we were in CA. This place opened right across the street from Albertsons and right next door to Safeway. Competition at its finest! Their concept seems pretty cool. Employee owned and low prices. Sounded good. We drove down here today to check it out. It was my first time in a Winco.
Parking was a bit of an issue. We had to park way in the back of the parking lot. Not too big of a deal but in this AZ heat, whenever you have to park far away, that means your cold items will be exposed to the heat for longer...even if its an extra minute or two, that can wreak havoc on certain things! We made our way through the parking lot, grabbed a cart near the front and walked in. It immediately reminded me of Food 4 Less. You have to walk in and take a right. They have all their deals of the week in this little section and then you wind up in the produce area. The layout of the rest of the store was alright. There were a lot of areas that were super clusterfucked but that was partly due to idiots who have no sense of their surroundings and no common courtesy to push their cart to the side of the aisle. Lot of assholes in this world. Anyways.........My two favorite parts of the store were.
1. Prices! Their prices were significantly lower than other grocery stores and on par with or even lower cost than Walmart prices. They have their competitors prices marked on signs as well so you can definitely tell how much you are saving. They had the huge cardboard box of Goldfish crackers for only $6.00. It's at least $8.00 everywhere else. They had their own brand of nacho cheese tortilla chips for $.48 cents. Yup... not even 50 cents for a regular large size bag of chips. They weren't the best things ever and don't compare with actual real Dorritos, but for $.48 cents, they can't be beat!
2. Bulk Bin Items. They have everything from coffee, nuts, candy, spices, flour, peanut butter, dog food etc. Pretty much anything you can think of. My wife got a pound of white sugar for like $.50 cents. I will definitely be back to utilize these bulk bins.
We got a lot of things for a great price. You bag your own groceries which is cool with me. If it saves on cost, I'll do it. Prices are so low that they don't carry EVERYTHING (they didn't have my favorite hot sauce or coffee), but most major brands they will have in stock.
Open 24-7 which is awesome. Cash or debit card only...they don't accept credit cards. We will definitely be back!
