Seeking local opinions of Food 4 Less stores in SoCal

[ocean_brez]

I have never set in foot in a Food 4 Less store here in SoCal (it is out of my way). So... I am interested in getting individual overall opinions of this store and what you gals/guys possibly like/dislike about it.? Bargains, current coupon policy, etc. If anyone here shops the Vista location, what do you think of that store in particular? TIA for any and all feedback. :smile:

Hi Ocean:
my opinion:
good list:
near other stores i shop at
produce is great when on sale.
when they have a sale on things you need they have them in stock.
I have found great coupons there.
coupon friendly
bad list:
always busy, not enough cashiers
dont double coupons
ppl. that stand at the door when you exit trying to get $$ from you.:rolleyes24:

That's not good. I contribute every so often, but after awhile, it gets very annoying seeing them day after day asking for $$.

I guess I should probably go and check them out, but like I mentioned, they are out of the way and I am worried that I will be disappointed. Worse, I am worried that the closest one to me is in a seedy area and thus will cause me to just say forget it altogether and just drive by. :shrug7:

Well I made it to Food4Less today and it was better than I expected. For some reason I had this store mixed up with another store that I have driven by in the past, and so I confused the two apparently. :duh77:

Anyway, unless I just got lucky and came at the right time, the store seemed slow, quiet and pleasant. A nice surprise. :smile:

Food-wise, I was impressed by some of the regularly low prices and think that I will come back to this store again when I am in/near the area. For today, I got the following:

(1) Aluminum Rack Roaster (for my turkey) $1.28
(2) Farmer John Bacon $1.98 - 2 x $.75/1 blinkies
(1) Glade Aerosol $.98 - $.75/1
(1) Herbal Essences Shampoo $2.50 - $3/2
(1) Herbal Essences Conditioner $2.50
(1) Turkey 19.75lbs

Since I met the $10 minimum purchase to get in on the turkey deal (the real reason I went there), I got my turkey for $6 ($.30/lb) and my final OOP after coupons and the turkey discount, was $12.57. Can we say Woohoooo!!! I am happy! :biggrin: Now to figure out if I still want to get my 2nd turkey there also, or just go to Ralphs. Hmmm... so many choices. :wink7:

Thanks! I found the blinkies at Albertsons about a month ago and grabbed a few just in case I ran into a deal like this. I had forgotten they were in my box because I was actually looking to see if I had any sausage link/roll coupons. Bacon coupons are just as good and the kids will be having that for breakfast tomorrow. :smile:

OMG! I have a food 4less in my area, I was not aware they took coupons! For some odd reason I thought they were a no coupon store. I'm glad I read this thread.
