Grocery Outlet?

Anyone shop there? What deals have you found lately?


I stop in now and then to check for deals if I am near one and have the time (there are 2 pretty close to me). I'd like to utilize it more if I can find things I will use. Often ours is full of a lot of processed junk stuff that I don't eat, but recently I found:

organic butter
organic crackers (Barbara's) and graham crackers (back to nature)
Mini Amy's organic pizzas (processed, but a good quick meal for DD and I on errand day)
goat cheese
organic dried granny smith apple slices (a snack for DD while we shopped!)
canned wild sockeye salmon


In the past I've seen organic diced tomatoes and tomato paste but not this last time.


They do have dried beans and packages or rice, but I can get those for a decent price in bulk at the health food store (organic too).

So anyone else shop there? What do you buy?

I am going to cheat and consider Big Lots similar to Grocery Outlet.


CASCADIAN FARMS ORGANIC O'S CEREAL (cheerios style)... $1.80 a box. I bought 3! This will last us til they expire in May.

STASH TEA RUBY MIST (which I cannot find anywhere else). $2 a box. I bought 2. (only a few left on the shelf I didnt want to be greedy)

MUIR GLEN ORGANIC TOMATO SOUP... $1.80 a can. 28 oz size I think. got 2.


ALLUVIA SOAP WHITE TEA AND CILANTRO. big bar. 80 cents. I have been wanting to try this soap, and when I cut it into smaller bars, I can stretch it out for a few months.

NATURE'S GATE JOJOBA CONDITIONER 32oz....$1.50.

I just went a few days ago, don't think I have ever fully experience Big Lots before and found some awesome stuff!

Oh yeah Becky I bet they have similar deals. I forgot about Big Lots - I used to go there a lot when I lived in OH. Just did a search and there is actually one up near one of the Grocery Outlets so next time I hit that one, I'll stop by BL too. Thanks for reminding me about them!
