Food 4 Less

So I’ve been to this place numerous times over a roughly 20 year period. It’s controlled, organized chaos, serving various unrelated ethnicities in addition to provide your regular «American» staples. It’s open 24 hours and no matter what time of the day or night I’ve been there, and no matter how often I thought some random fight might break out in the parking lot or in the store, it’s always been a relatively calm place to grab your stuff and go.

CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE ON THE PRODUCTS! I came across at least 7 products that were well past their expiration dates… from salad dressing to biscuits. And no, it was not the «sell by» or «freeze by» date.

Good place but I feel like the quality is not up to standard and there is always a line. There could be more efficiency. But can’t beat the prices

The worst place ever to shop. I was shopping down the grocery store aisle and I went to the baking aisle, shopping for my Thanksgiving dinner. I went to go grab a bag of sugar and a rat went flying out running to the other side of the aisle. I screamed. I did not know what to do. I will not be shopping there any longer until they get this situation taken care of. I spoke to the store manager Armando Martinez, about the rat flying out of the aisle. he said man, we do not have rats in the store, we have exterminator coming out frequently. He did not say sorry he did not say Happy Thanksgiving he said nothing. Armando Martinez is the worst manager of all stores.

Open 24 Hours + Full accommodations for the disabled (me) + Business friendly helpful employees + Extensive and cost saving choices (Except distilled water $ 1.59/total each GAL). This Food 4 Less grocery store is my 1^st choice. Only because they are not open 24 Hours, STATER BROS is my second choice grocery store.

My goto spot for those BBQ meats and a case of beers when grilling and having Families/​Friends over! They supplied a wide selection of groceries at a decent/​affordable price comparing it to the other Market you see.

This place is cheap and is the type of grocerie store what has most everything you’ll need. No frills easy to find your way around. Sometimes during the evening or on weekends it becomes uncomfortably busy. It has a red box, a Chinese food place and dome sort of check cashing place. It has a bakery and little deli.

Your average grocery store. What else is there to say? Great produce for cheap. Great selection of meat. Only complaint is I came here the last time to buy ingredients to make a pizza and they only have 2 selections of pepperoni.

So I’d write a detailed review covering my over 20 years of going here and even then before when it was Handyman but that can come another time.
Just wanted to give mad props to the cashier who ripped a 24pk of Budweiser from a thieves arms tonight and address concern over the lack of security or at the very least, management presence– in this facility at the late hours.
Like I said, I’ve been coming since it opened and since I’ve been an adult, usually during visit during 3^rd shift hours. There is never any Management presence (evening) and if they’re there– they are on their phones (daytime) or purposely avoiding customer contact. Where was the Cashiers support this morning at 1:45am? The cashier was so far ahead of the game, he was at the exit before the culprits.
During this time I’ve seen multiple beer runs, meat thefts, parking lot accidents, fights. you name it. Please get your leadership more engaged.

Cheap prices, be prepared for the shady crowd though. You can usually find great sales, but then everyone else does too. It seems like they sell as many steaks as they do 40’s.

I’ve been here several times. It’s not my first choice for grocery stores but if I’m in the area and need a few things Id stop in here.
The place has a sort of swap meet look inside as do the clientele.

Great meat section. Duck, yum!

It’s your typical supermarket. Beats produce prices at stores like Staters and Albertsons but that’s only because they get the low end of the crops and meats. For example, the best tomato you put in your bag from Food4Less can be compared to the worst tomato from Staters. That’s ok! It’s not rotten and I’m an awesome cook! Anyway, I LOVE their prices for their shelf stuff. I’m a huge couponer and this place helps me score big like those couponers on the show «Extreme Couponing.»
4 stars for free razors and $ 0.50 brand named shampoos suckas.

Weird enough I don’t remember been in a Food4Less before, they are all over the place, but seems like they didn’t catch my eye… until now.
I went to buy like 5 things and it took me for ever to find them.
Granted, it was an unknown setting but their organization has no logic = /​
anyway…
Parking is quite easy, since they are on a strip mall with plenty of space.
Walking inside is a the place is massive, not super neat but decent enough.
Produce prices are good, not as good as the Messy El Super but good enough.
About cleaning stuff, just the basic and weird brands.
I ended up finding all my stuff, walking 2000 steps according to my phone (at least that was a good thing since I’m supposed to walk 10k a day =))
Food4Less in one word: Overwhelming!
Employees are far and few and not very helpful, but oh well! good price on produce and tasty pan dulce =)
One thing that caught my eye was that in every produce sign they put the competitors’ price. Obviously different competitors on different products… but hey that is a very practical hands-​on marketing strategy, isn’t it?
Even though is not my favorite supermarket, I can’t say I’m not going back.

1 Star for having great prices
1 Star for being close to home
1 Star for the customer service which they have.
–1 Star for the filthy bathrooms they have
–1 Star for having long lines and having to bag your own stuff.

My review is slightly biased since I shop at 3am usually. No lines!
Lately I have gone during the normal people time and have never had a problem. I like grocery shopping and I go in with no time rush. I guess its therapeutic? Hah!
I know the lay out pretty well and if I can’t find something I just bug a worker and theyre usually very friendly.
The prices for me are very reasonable, then again I am one person buying food for one person so I’m not buying too much. On average I’ll spend about $ 70 on the basics every three weeks. I eat a lot of pasta so my diet is not as costly haha
The fruits and veggies are a hit or miss sometimes but that doesn’t bother me since I go to Sam’s market market not too far away and get amazing fruits and veggies there.

I like Food 4 Less quite a lot because Kroger, the same company that owns Ralph’s, owns this market. You get great bargains on certain foods and the quality isn’t completely sacrificed. However, most of these markets are found in ghetto-​er areas, and this one is no exception. But the good thing is it is right next to M&M Donuts. Yum.
Here are the pros and cons of one of my favorite joints.
PROS:
— cheaper prices on most items than other markets, especially the produce and meats
— fully stocked brands
— opened till 1 AM
CONS:
— solicitors outside the store
— very interesting crowd of customers
— feels ghetto
If you can get over the ghetto-​ness of these markets, you’re wallet is in for a real treat. You’ll save lots of money on your groceries and won’t give up much in quality. Just remember, don’t make eye contact with all the people that inhabit this ecosystem. You might end up with one thinking you’re their son.

Maybe not the cleanest location. Maybe not the best customers. But it’ll do.
Being open 24 hours is a huge plus. Great selection. It can be a little challenging to find what you need… so don’t come here in a rush.
The express lane is nice when you’re just picking up one or two items. And if you’re craving donuts, M&M’s is in the same parking lot.
Oh yeah, and the prices are always nice.

After shopping at Albertsons for years, it seems like I am paying about the same, if not more, for less items.
I need to find a new grocery store to shop at. or at least an alternative when I don’t want to drive all the way to Orange. I decided to shop here and see how much savings I can get.
The place is relatively clean. It took me some time to find everything that I needed. I was amazed at some of the deals I found! Pretty much everything I normally get at Albertsons was cheaper at Food 4 Less. They pretty much had everything that I needed and I decided to get a few extra items. The final price came to be about what I would have spent at Albertsons. So it looks like I may be shopping more often.
The only thing I didn’t care for… because it is cheaper, it brings in a different clientele than what I am use to. With the savings I saved, it might be a something I can overlook

24 hrs
Can be ghetto often
Clean and big
Kinda freaky people late at night
Decent prices on food
Plenty of parking
Good for alcohol runs I guess
