Save A Lot

There are certain items that I have to go to Wegmans or Tops in order to buy. For everything else, I go to Save A Lot. They carry the basic staples in brand name AND in store brand products and offer a good range of selection for most products. Their meats are good quality and priced below the regular prices of Tops (and certainly Wegmans). The selection of vegetables and fruits are normal (apples, oranges, bananas, etc) and do not include the more exotic variety you’ll find at Wegmans.
This is where you come for the basics and they do that well. I start my shopping trip here and go to Tops or Wegmans for items I wasn’t able to find here.
The store is always clean and the staff are nice. The lines at the registers can get long as everyone tends to have full carts when they check out. They don’t bag your groceries for you, but offer free boxes (from the shelves) or you can buy plastic bags for $ 0.10 each. A full cart generally takes about 6 – 7 bags. If you environmentally minded, you can reuse the bags or bring cloth bags when you shop.
If you happen to see the triple delight brownie mix, buy it. You won’t be disappointed. Store brand or not.

I like this Save-​a-​lot, a lot. It’s cool. They have upgraded the meat department to include better cuts/​grade. The fresh produce is way much better than the last time I visited. Avacados for less than a $. Good Avacados!!. I’ll cut this review off here simply because I have no disses however I need to state that they offer the RED GOLD TOMATO KETCHUP, 36 ounce, for 99 cents per bottle. This is something processed in Dunkirk with local tomatoes. I love being a locavore and I love even more that I go through about 8 bottles of this stuff every couple of months. I cook with it and my grand kids eat it with every meal… kinda, maybe.
