Easy Money

Great whiskey and bourbon selection! The owner is super nice.

While I’ve only frequented this place a handful of times, it is so great. Inside Easy Money, you will find lots of useful household supplies for exceptionally low prices (last time I went in they had a small glue gun for 1.99!). Also not a bad place for liquor, candies, and treats. The staff are very kind and helpful!

Wow, hard to find better service these days than Renata! She remembered my order from the only time I had been in her store (Abita Strawberry Lager) and when they only had single beers she still charged me the 6 pack price. Then because I mentioned how much I liked it and due to its seasonal availability, she said she would see if she could order it and have it waiting for me the next time I come in. Wow. 5 stars for 10 star service. Thank you! See you next time!

This is my favorite and best Convenience Store! Whatever you need, you will find here.

They have great wine deals, also carry my favorite Biserna muscat grappa, and offer great service.

I’m bestowing upon Easy Money that coveted fifth star because they now carry Elmer T. Lee and Stagg Jr among their selection of fine bourbons.

I swing by Easy Money at least once a day, even if I don’t need anything in particular. The place is owned by Sam and Renata, a friendly married couple who make an effort to really get to know everyone who comes into their store, which makes it feel like a real community spot. In terms of selection, to quote their sign, «If we don’t have it, you don’t need it.» They have an amazing selection of beer, wine, spirits, snacks, food, toiletries, you name it, at the best prices I’ve found in the neighborhood. Easy Money is one of the many great things that make this part of the city feel like a friendly small town at times.

Because of Renata and Sam, I stop in with my dogs even when I don’t need anything. They have a great selection of beers and European sweets and crisps. Everyone knows each other in the store and it’s a great place to feel part of the community.

I have been craving for Gardetto’s Roasted Garlic Rye Chips. Couple days ago, one of the staffs told me that this place has it since they don’t carry it at Walgreens.
Very nice little place to get some snacks, wine and lottery tickets. :) scarification fulfilled!

This is my new favorite mom & pop store! I rather buy here than a huge chain. Anyway, food and kitchen supplies all in one place.
Open 8a-​9pm.
There’s a huge I mean huge selection of wine, beer, liqueurs of all types, liquor, and lots of food.
I bought an orange squeezer to make fresh juice for $ 1.50 and European cookies.
Renata is very sweet and cheerful and can tell you about the best chocolates and liquors. She knows her stuff.
Thank you!

I love the owners of this store (a married couple Renata and Sam) as they are both helpful and courteous. The store also has a much wider selection of items than any other corner on the block (why go to Target when you live on Irving?).
But for me the thing that gives this store five stars is their cigarette selection and prices. They really are the cheapest in the city (or at least in the Sunset and Richmond).
I’m mainly a pipe smoker (English and Balkan type tobaccos) but if I’m out and about I’ll carry my Lucky Strikes, which most stores don’t carry. Their Lucky Strikes ARE ONLY $ 7 while the corner store by my house is $ 9!
Also, according to Renata. «We get a new shipment of cigarettes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and I also stock the freshest ones up front. Most stores that have Lucky Strike or other hard cigarettes are stale.»
Which is true. Love this place.

What makes this store special is the people who work there. That matters in a neighborhood store. I do love the specials they have on drinks and such; but I choose to shop at Easy Money because I love the warm hellos and the pleasant exchanges we have when I shop. Oh! and the new shelves make the store so beautiful and pleasant to behold. Very refreshing! I’ll take a photo next time I’m in Easy Money:)

Easy Money is difficult to categorize. you name it. they have it:
or as their slogan goes: «if we don’t have it, you don’t need it».:
–beer, hard liquor, soda, lotto tickets
–chips, chocolates,
–cigarettes, cigars?, smoke aids
–groceries
–household goods.
buys: lotto tickekts,
–chips, (4/​$ 1)
some tasty, some not, most at or past sell by date
crumbs:
–store is stacked to the rafters
–assume most food items near sell by date, thus cheaper.
–going back again can be habit forming.
–would upgrade to 5 stars when i score some booze…

This is one of my favourite places to grab wine because they have a huge selection and my BF can also grab his beers. The owners remember their customers and have great customer service. I love coming here and that’s not just for the prices but for the community feel that this store has.

So I decided to thoroughly check out their liquor selection, and wow the prices are surprisingly cheap. For example, a 750ml bottle of Kahlua was only $ 14.99. After visiting Safeway, Trader Joe’s, and other liquor stores, Easy Money had it the cheapest.
Also, the older gentleman there definitely knows his spirits, which I love. He introduced me to a new brand of vodka they were carrying, (Vikingfjord, $ 9.99) and it’s a new favorite at my house now. He even gave me a coupon for a $ 9 rebate, so I basically got a bottle of vodka for a dollar. This place never fails to impress!

I grew up on this place. Used to go there since I was 12 and im 35 now. Great family owed business and I go back every time I visit sf. All kinds of fun stuff in there
And they have a pretty impressive booze section. :-)

I agree with everyone here. This store is fun— it has tons of random items in it, and the Russian lady who works there always is warm and telling me jokes. When it comes to corner stores, I always want to find one to support with ppl I like in it… this is the one I am glad to spend all my money at.
My favorite items? These cool little vials of ginseng extract w/​honey for 50 cents from China. They are a mystical, tasty, and interseting little energy concoction and everytime I buy them people ask me what they are.

On Monday, I stopped in to buy my usual bag of cat liter. And, I noticed they have the latest variety of the new M & M candies in mint flavor for only $ 1.
Yes, that’s right, one dollar. M & M candy is not cheap, in fact at Walgreens it is over $ 4.00 to $ 5.00 per large bag. I have noticed lately that the staff keeps items well stocked and that the shop can get very busy.
I guess their slogan is just about right, «if we don’t have it, you don’t need it.»
Always a pleasure to go in and look around, they have bargains everyday. Check it out next time you are on Irving Street.

Wow, I was taken aback by how friendly and courteous the owner of this convenience store was. I say this assuming the lady behind the counter is the owner.
They carry 8 oz. butane cans suitable for our portable camping stove; they aren’t easy to come by, but she said they always have them in stock!

Your money can go a long way here!
At first when I walked in, I thought it was one of those Chinese owned stores that sold everything useless, plastic, and ‘Made in China.’ Boy, was I wrong! It looked like an indoor flea market with all brand name items similar to one of those Dollar Stores but even better. When I was inside, I saw delivery people dropping off all sorts of packages.
There’s tons of stuff everywhere and no space is neglected. I saw lots of stuff for $ 1 in front of the store and even more bargains inside. Grant it, I was just looking for a pack of smokes, even the prices blew me away. A little old Russian lady helped me out in the front cashier desk and sold me a pack of Marlboro’s for $ 5.50 after tax. Now that’s a bargain!
You could probably spend hours inside looking at everything the store sells. I didn’t go deep into the store to browse through as my car was parked in a metered area and I was looking for a decent place to eat. If I’m in the area again, I’ll definitely hit up this place.
