WinCo

Pros:
Open ²⁴⁄₇
low prices
large selection of bulk items
Cons:
Cash or Debit (No Credit Cards)
wait times at checkout are sometimes long
If i want one half scoop of chocolate covered gummy bears, its all good. scoop it, tie it and write the code number on the tag, and you are good to
go! their bulk selection is amazing.
prices are pretty low compared to Fred Meyer, Safeway and Alberstons. you bag your own groceries so you can double bag all you want. be aware, No Credit Cards Accepted

Definitely a fan of the prices of Winco. Also the store is always clean and the staff is ready to help. The lines can seem long, but so many people shop here that it’s totally understandable and the checkers are usually fast that the wait really never is too long. The produce and deli are fresh, I suspect because nothing stays on the shelf for long this place is so busy. And they have a great bulk bin section.

After being somewhat impressed with the store, at the checkout it turns out they do not accept credit cards. There is no obvious signage to this fact and it was frustrating to have to leave the store without any of our groceries because like most people, we do not carry cash.

We went grocery shopping today at this location. We usually go to the Kennewick store. Everything is set up different. That did not bother us. I am going this low rating because of the cashier Alisha. She was not friendly, and was really irritated when my wife gave her some coupons (less then 10). She tried scanning the first one and after it would not scan (first try) she handed the coupons back and told my wife she can’t can them. My wife asked her to try again and she had no issue showing her anger. We will not be going back to this Winco again.

I had not experienced Winco until I moved to Richland from Bellingham. I thought would just be like another Wal-​Mart. Boy was I wrong! Winco is great and one of the most affordable grocery stores I have ever been to! I think it’s kind of fun bagging your own groceries too. It’s pretty big though and easy to get distracted in, kind of reminds me of a non-​bulk Costco.

Winco in Richland is my favorite grocery store to do my weekly shopping. Part of me thinks they took lessons learned from the Kennewick Winco (which I detest) and incorporated them into the Richland store’s design (e.g., MUCH wider aisles).
Best meat selection of any local grocery store, IMHO (we have a hard time finding skirt steak elsewhere) and an excellent produce department. And the place is always really clean. Only drawback: I hate packing my own groceries, but Mr. S happily handles that for me.

Ok ok ok — I’ve long joked with friends that we need to make a «People of Winco» website ala the «People of Wal Mart.» These jokes were all the result of brief encounters with Winco but no real shopping.
Recently though, my partner and I decided we give it a whirl after another curious friend made a trip and returned with a lot of great deals.
If you don’t like bagging your groceries this place isn’t for you. If you can’t pay with cash or a debit card, you won’t be able to shop here.
Otherwise, they have some amazing deals and their collection of bulk things in bins (nuts, crackers, dog treats?!, flour, everything) is impressive.
I also found that their produce was almost in-​line with Yoke’s but considerably cheaper.
And unlike WalMart… it really isn’t over crowded. Give Winco a try!

So you have to bag your own groceries. So what?!? Invest in some canvas shopping bags and haul your booty over to Winco to save some serious cash!
They also have a fairly decent bulk foods section where you can get anything from candy, nuts, grains, cereal and even pet food. Ooo, they also have fresh honey and peanut butter.

This is where you go to get yer nuts.
I’m serious! If you want some nuts you have to check out the bulk section here. For the Tri-​Cities, our Winco’s have some of the best bulk options. I do hate having to use a plastic bag to grab this stuff though… need to remember to re-​use some plastic bags for next time.
What else? Oh yeah! Bagels! maybe they’re not the best New York style bagels, but I freakin’ love these bagels. They have a monster variety… I like the Jalepeno, everything, and blueberry bagels!
So yeah, this is a huge and cavernous grocery store. It’s also super cheap. Not much on the organic and healthy side, but if you need to stock up on basics, this is a good place hit up.
Aww, nuts.

After moving to the Tri-​Cities my coworkers introduced me to WinCo as the best place to do my grocery shopping. The Richland WinCo is large and had everything I needed for reasonable prices. I have shopped elsewhere and I have found Winco has the freshest vegetables and fruits in the Tri–

I remember when I first moved to Kennewick from Seattle 6 years ago thinking I landed in «Grocery Store Save Me Money Heaven».
After spending too much at grocery stores in Seattle it was so nice to save some serious dough here.
I remember when they would only take check or cash… not even debit card. There was a big sign that said, «We don’t take debit cards to save you money!» YES! LOVE IT!
They finally did start taking debit cards, but I got the feeling they got a good rate from a bank to do so… again, to save us money.
I also like that you bag the groceries yourself (to save us money) and the checkout line almost checks out two people at once (to save us money).
We are talking serious money too. I once ran a little test where I bought some of the same items at two different stores: Albertson’s and Winco. I saved some 30%. None of that coupon stuff either. We are talking hundreds if not thousands of dollars per year.
Also, ever notice how much easier it is to return a cart at Winco? They have cart returns everywhere… and you can’t even mess it up. The cart only goes in one way. No more idiots leaving their cart to sit in the bushes somewhere. Again, this saves us money.
So the store must be a dump, right? Wrong. Clean, friendly big aisles (unlike aisles at Clearwater WinCo in Kennewick), good produce (and it is all at a price less than their competitors (even Walmart I have found).
Go WinCo in Richland!
