Save-A-Lot

There is a grocery store in South Shore, Save-​A-​Lot. It’s clean, has a good selection of products, and you aren’t paying inflated prices for «name brand» goods. If you need specialty items this isn’t the place, but for all your everyday needs it’s great. It’s always open, and the people who work there are very nice. It also helps me with my Urban Sustainability because it doesn’t have all those cheap plastic bags, I bring my reusable ones. A special shout out and thank you for having a place to dispose of them right at the exit door, and not in a hard to find place at the back of the store.

I think my husband and I go to this store like 3 times a week. I will admit, a lot of the products do not agree with our diet (i.e. heavily processed food, non-​organic, etc.). I’m big on reading ingredients and if I find something that has the exact same ingredients as a more expensive brand and it’s sold at Sav-​O-​Lot for $ 1 – 5 cheaper, I’m buying it! Therefore, it’s convenience in location and cost savings make it the place to shop for some of our grocery needs. My hubby and I are both night owls (which is sad because we have to leave the house at 7 am to go to work) and this store is open 24 hours for people like us! I was a little salty that they were closed on Thanksgiving Day because most 24 hour stores stay open on holidays. But, I’ll give them a pass on that because they’ll be open the next day when I need to pick up that bottle of ketchup I’ll likely run out of at 1 am.

Save-​A-​Lot is like the dollar store of grocery stores… lol I mean everything is not a dollar but they have many things that are a dollar and when you think of today’s economy that is a good deal.
This location is clean and the staff is nice!!!
Now, sometimes you have a wait in line which can drive me batty but its worth it!
The frozen veggies which are just over a dollar is fresh the only one I don’t like is the broccoli its more stem then floret.
The other bonus is they are open for 24 hours so if you are a person that likes to shop at night and have the store to yourself… then Save-​a-​lot is the place to go!

It was the middle of the night and I was starving, and the grocery stores were all closed, except for Save a Lot.
Like a lot of discount grocery stores, it was made up mostly of generic, over processed products that I would never choose to ingest. However, the tomatoes. .. .I’ve only found better tomatoes in farmer’s markets and third world countries. Perfectly red, evenly ripened, and still firm. Never mealy. And they’re cheaper than all the other grocery stores. $ 1.69 a pound! Often less! Since I eat tomatoes everyday, this is my regular tomato store. I stop there at least once a week.
From experience, the tomatoes are both better and cheaper than at Dominicks, Trader Joes, Jewel, and Whole Foods. There you go.
