Cash & Carry

Don’t go to this store. Make the store on 112^th your one stop shopping. The staff here is not happy and it shows.
That will not be your experience w/​the store on 112^th.

I’ve been to this location at least four times now and never had any issues. Today I went in and bought a couple things used a $ 20 for $ 5 dollars and only got $ 10 back. I realized it when I got in my car, not going anywhere else it’s not in my car it’s not in my purse and she said she’s adamant she gave me $ 15. Well they can kiss my ass if I’m coming to this location again. I will drive out of my way and go to Olympia where they are helpful.

Pretty good. It’s helpful to know your grocery prices though because often times the prices here are more than your regular grocery store. They do sometimes have some good meat and cheese deals.

I have been here a dozen times and I LOVE it! Tons of candy, meat, restaurant supply items, fruits, vegetables and just about anything you need lots of.
This place is how Costco used to be about twenty years ago. Five gallon buckets of ketchup, a gallon of pickled jalepenos, every flavor of coffee syrup ever made, anything to make everything in large quantities.
If you are on the fence about a Costco/Sam’s Club membership, just come here.

Being my first visit, I am definitely a fan of this store!
I am a coffee addict. I can’t keep enough flavors of syrups in my kitchen to satisfy my cravings when they hit hard.
The excitement I encountered while seeing a full row of syrups made me smile. Every flavor I wanted was there. They are exceptionally priced between $ 3 – 4 a bottle.
Being a white coffee snob, I heard I can it here. They carry two bands: Great White ($ 25 2lb jug) and Wired Willey’s (3 sizes). I was also able to snag soy milk.
I didn’t spend a ton of time investigating the freezer section but I visited the meat cooler and dairy cooler. There were many choices for meat and it all looked reasonably priced.
The dairy department has 5lb tubs of sour cream for $ 6. My household seems to go through the normal sized sour cream available at regular grocery stores with a quickness.
Butter was $ 2 for a 1lb block. I also got a can of whipped cream for a little over $ 1.
My ideas are brewing about opening a business thanks to Cash & Carry!
The only thing I didn’t like was the rickety hand carts. I was paranoid my precious syrups were going to fall over and break.

So, you want a gallon of fresh mozzarella and Costco didn’t have it? This is your place! Wait a sec, though, you might want to check the expiration date on that tub before you run to the register with gluttonous glee.
I like the selection of syrups they carry — it’s even better than Business Costco in Fife. For one, they have Monin syrups and stuff beyond your standard vanilla and hazelnut. If you’re looking for a coffee syrup, this is your place. At a great price, too.
The meat isn’t my thing but it didn’t look fabulous either. Some fresh items, as mentioned, are expired. The guy I told at the register actually made a literal note of it when I mentioned it to him and told me that they’d just hired someone to monitor the fresh products. He seemed a little peeved I’d found something out of date on the shelf.
Produce selection isn’t the best but when is it in a bulk or commercial store? They have a lot of pre-​breaded frozen stuff available, chips, large cans of everything, a section with odds-​and-​ends commercial and small-​commercial kitchen supplies. They have a spot on the shelf for Franz gluten-​free bread but I didn’t actually see any.
The parking lot is a mess — it’s a mix of business folk trying to get where they are going and your average suburban grocery shopper parking an SUV. Which means lots of horns, alarms going off, people cutting you off, and the random cell-​phone or texting driver. Pay attention in here or you’re going to get hit!
Pick up your flat-​cart at the door, grab a few things in sizes you didn’t know were made and save a little. Just check the dates.

I really like this place when I need large quantity items and don’t want to go to Costco.
It is small, but things are always neat and taken care of there. Never anything left in the aisles.
Not everything seems to be fantastically priced for a consumer, but for a business, I could certainly see how it would be great for reselling.
I buy my roasts there so I can butcher my own steaks. Sometimes their meat is on sale, IBP, not a brand I’d buy, but 4.99/lb for rib eye roast… I’d be tempted.
Last trip I went they had one left. The package was open on the end. I pointed it out to the guy who worked there and was restocking or something, he didn’t seem to really care.
Don’t be in a hurry if you’re going to come for an item or two. Most of the customers are business and have… van/​truckfulls of merchandise to be purchased.
Staff is very nice.
Personal checks not accepted from what I remember.

Most things are cheaper here than Costco and you don’t need a membership card, you might notice what some local restaurants serve, by going here.

Cash & Carry is not your regular grocery. It’s mostly a supply house for small restaurants or latte shops. For the ordinary folks there are some items well worth going here for. You can find no better prices on spice’s than C&C. When I BBQ, C&C is my go to store for Beef brisket, St. Louis style ribs, and Pork shoulders. The dogs they sell there are the best. Not those little dogs you get at Fred Meyer or Safeway. The big German brand hotdog, Hot links, Chicken Italian, or the Adouille sausage. The chicken and apple dogs they sell, are big dogs, full of flavor, and somewhat healthy for you. If you have a vacuum sealer I would recommend buying their New York or rib steaks. These come as a roast, you cut them as you need. I prefer a thicker steak, my wife likes hers thinner. We go to C&C every few months, more during the thick of BBQ season.

The only reason I’m writing a review of Cash & Carry is that I’m new to Unilocal and currently addicted to Unilocaling! Also, I saw that there aren’t any other reviews for this store, so why not?
I don’t shop at Cash & Carry often but its a great place to go if you need bulk food or restaurant /​store supplies in bulk. Its a good alternative to Costco for many items, especially since you don’t need a membership to shop.
The best price I’ve found on Sriracha (Rooster Sauce) is here (about $ 2.50 for the big bottle), and its the only place I know of where you can get a 2.5 lb bag of fortune cookies for $ 4!
