Food 4 Less

One person working at the deli, out of produce bags at almost every stopping station and they don’t carry Fage yogurt. love the cheap prices but would like more people scheduled to service the guests.

it’s not a bad store, It is a part of the Kroger chain. If you’re shopping on a budget, this is one place you want to come to.
Location is really good, in a shopping center, so more than abundant parking is available. The store is clean enough, wide aisles, clearly labeled, and the employees are friendly enough.

A good grocery store and love the way its organized. They post the competitors prices, but they are still expensive compared to other stores.
Always a long line and usually no one around to help.

i had 2 run 2 a grocery store around the area of my girls crib & this was it! they had some great deals with the prices so that was awesum! there was nobody in the store & i was able to get in & out so that was fantastic!

This type of store isn’t up my alley — I’m kind of a grocery snob and prefer Whole Foods/​Trader Joes/​Marianos/​local shops/​farmers’ markets. Yet, out of curiosity, I came here for some very basic grocery shopping: strawberries, bread, and frozen pizza. Considering that this place shared the same parking lot/​strip mall area as Walmart and boasts having low prices, I kind of pre-​judged before going inside. Pre-​judging is bad. No one should pre-​judge anyone (or any place), but I just couldn’t help it. In this case, the idea I had of this place before walking in ended up being pretty accurate.
Aldi price + CostCo size + Kroger brand + a side of ghetto = Food 4 Less.
This place is huge, with a lot of tall aisles stuffed with a ton of processed foods. Some of the aisles have random cleaning and beauty supplies too. A large produce area was on one side of the store, a large meat/​dairy area was on the other, and a frozen section was smack in the middle of the aisles. These are all things you would find in a typical grocery store, but everything here just seems… bigger. Like CostCo, but not quite in bulk. Many of the items were Kroger brand, which kind of surprised me since they’re a popular chain of grocery stores in other Midwestern states.
As with Aldi, I didn’t trust the produce here. There was nothing visibly bad about it, but the atmosphere kind of messed with my mind and I just didn’t want to risk getting sick or bringing home fruit flies (this has happened to me before on multiple occasions). They didn’t even have strawberries, anyway! I did note an aisle for organic produce in the back of the produce section. Cool. I was really surprised but pleased to see this here. Still no strawberries, though. That’s OK — I’d rather go elsewhere.
The prices? Sure, they’re lower, but they’re not that much lower. I did find some items that were more expensive here than other places — like the frozen pizza I picked up for my husband. And as always, you pay for what you get. If you pay low prices for food, the food usually isn’t the best quality (one of the reasons I’m a grocery snob).
Oh, another that I noticed: the colors! For some reason, all the greens, yellows, and browns mixed with the dim lighting make me think that I’ve gone back in time. That, and deciding to leave with my favorite childhood cookies (Salerno’s Butter Cookies — SO unhealthy and SO delicious). I’m really tempted to come back here just to stage some kind of vintage-​y photo shoot in some of the aisles. Totally.
The cashier that rung me up had a big smile and was joking around with some of the other customers. Other people I walked past made eye contact and were just going about their business. No complaints about any of the employees. I’m glad they seem to enjoy their jobs.
I was really surprised at the few registers open and short lines, but then again… no one really does their shopping on late Wednesday afternoons. I wouldn’t be surprised to find the parking lot and aisles crowded during peak hours and weekends (not that I’ll be back here anyway).

Always a line and usually no one around to help. Store isn’t that clean. Nothing special with prices.

cheap food prices — and the spanish paistries taste like the way they are supposed to — make sure you practice your bagging techniques before shopping here since you will have to bag your own groceries — advise: eggs and bread on top

Awesome grocery store! I’m actually really sad that we moved and I can’t shop here anymore.
Food4Less carries Kroger brand, which makes me feel right at home since I shopped at Kroger in MI. This place has the lowest grocery prices I’ve seen so far in the northeastern IL area.
The layout of the store is easy to maneuver and the employees are really friendly. The wait at the deli counter can be frustrating sometimes, but their prices are so low that it’s worth it. Plus they carry deli meat with no fillers (Sara Lee) which made me super happy. This might not be the BEST place to go if you like to buy organic/​super healthy food, but they do offer a good amount of food that fits that category. They have a wide variety of other types of fruits & veggies, and like I mentioned earlier, almost everything is ridiculously cheap (ex. 10 limes for $ 1 vs Dominick’s 1 lime for $ 0.50).
I usually don’t have to wait a long time to check out, but I like to go grocery shopping during non-​peak hours. They use the «bag-​your-​own groceries» method, which I really like because a) you can easily bring and fill your own bags from home b) you stack the items the way you like it c) it’s really efficient.
I would definitely recommend shopping here… the amount of money you save is amazing.

My new favorite place to grocery shop! The Kroeger brand is cheap & really good! The fresh produce section is pretty competitive with the local fruit markets. The 5dz egg deal is a great deal! The meat dept has great prices and if your not afraid to go for a managers special markdown it’s a great way to get meat for a discount! I really haven’t found anything negative I can say about this place! I recommend it to my friends all the time!

I very much liked this grocery store. It has a small town feel to it. The employees were very friendly. I was looking at the juices and a man said Hi, how are you? I was surprised an employee actually talked to me, generally they ignore you or look at you like you shouldnt be there. The places isnt huge but it has a lot of stuff and isnt cramped. The register operator was friendly too. She had to deal with a grumpy man that was behind me and handled it well. You bag your own groceries which I like.

I sometimes go here to get produce. Cheaper than Dominicks. The location is very convenient. Some stuff– non produce items are still cheaper in Walmart. I recommend it.

I love this grocery store… As you walk in, they always have the specials and sales right in the front. So you can pick up whatever you like right away, and know there is some kinda deal or sale.
As you walk further in, you hit the bakery/​deli section. Which I love to get my turkey sandwich meat sliced fresh. The employees here are usually pretty friendly and fast… although I did have to pull a number for my turn, it usually goes by quite fast.
The vegetables and fruit section is a good size area. They carry lots of variety of fruits and veggies… which is a plus. Then your meat sections are next. Lots of variety as well… however I wish they had a lil bit better seafood section. The price of meat here is definitely priced just right. I have spent lots more, elsewhere before… (like at J
Overall, I enjoy doing my grocery shopping here cus I can get alot more groceries… and pay alot less than what I would pay If I went to a Jewel or Dominicks. I am young, but work alot and I dont have time to go grocery shopping everyday.
