Hi all. I thought I’d start a new topic for Grocery Outlet, as their stock fluctuates and varies by store, but it might be nice to highlight interesting items and deals.
At my local GO today in Northern CA, there was Wei Pantry Amber Vinegar (rice vinegar, dark brown sugar, anchovy extract, salt) and Shallot Oil (safflower oil, shallots) for $1.99 each. I didn’t pick them up but I might go back for them. Has anyone tried this brand or these products before? Thanks in advance!
Picked up a 32oz tub of Wallaby full fat Greek yogurt today for $1.99 which made me a happy camper.
This ice cream was very good. One of the better supermarket pints I’ve bought in a long time. The caramel has a burnt feel but in a good way. Real nice crunchy chunks of cacao nibs. Excellent texture and mouthfeel. I was expecting a lot of ice and freezer burn.
Good to know. I almost bought that too for a bargain at $1.99. Might be my new ice cream supermarket where you don’t feel bad if you get a flavor you don’t love for $2-$3 and dump it.
Been making Grocery Outlet stops as of late and got some great buys! I got a box of four cans of Muir Glen Tomatoes for $1.99. I use these for
chili. Expiration is mid Feb however.
Finally, I resisted picking these up because the kitchen here is way too small and I have a half open bag of masa harina already…. But if one of your resolutions is to learn to make tortillas…. Go at it! The expiration date for these were October.
The Leeuwen bars I picked up at Alta Dena one which is the NICEST GO I’ve been to and is right next door to Aldi (Which is super nice too!) It’s a bit of a trek from where I am, but maybe I’ll pop by every month or so. It’s owned by a nice Latino family. I also picked up a pint of Frutero Strawberry Ice Cream for like $2. The strawberry flavor in that is astounding. Almost unsettling. Both I got last weekend with a large box of Multigrain Cherrios for $2.50
The Muir Glenn and Masienda were at the Inglewood, which isn’t the greatest, but they do have some interesting items. Lots of really good cereals.
The one in HP, I plan to scout out more. I’ve been mainly getting giant bags of Smart Pop there for $3. Due to the size of this kitchen we are in, we mainly are purchasing items on an as needed basis, so it hasn’t been the usual, let’s go treasure hunting like what we used to do.
There is none close to the Westside. But there are several locations in SoCal. Aside from the ones I go to in Inglewood, DTLA, HP and Alta Dena. There is one in Inglewood, Redondo Beach, South Pasadena, Burbank, Whittier, Long Beach I think has two. You can google map Grocery Outlet and they’ll pop up.
Also, I should warn, it’s not a destination grocery store, but if you are near one and love to cook, it’s a great place to explore. It’s like TJ Maxx for food. For all around saving money, I would stick to things like Aldi and the ethnic markets.
