Food 4 Less

After my daughter was begging me for some juice I decided to swing by. To my great surprise the Tropicana was on sale for $ 1. Big score. So I pick up a couple of cartons and head up front. On the way to the checkouts I pass the side and see ginger ale for .99. Another big score.
The line wasn’t long and the checker was friendly. I skipped out completely satisfied.
No home and emptying my pockets I decide to look at the receipt. Lo and behold u was charged 1.89 for each .99 ginger ale. Aargh.
I guess 7 – 11 isn’t the only one that pulled a fast one on me. But am I going to drive back for my $ 2.00. Nope. How lazy is that! I would on GP, but not this time. And that’s how they get you. Watch yourself. Those good deals aren’t always.
Lucky lazy me.

This store is ghetto went to get some gum and there lines are backed up to the back of store the store itself is dirty and looks like a swap meet

This review is for the staff. The guys in the produce Dept are always super friendly. Every time they don’t have something out or if I need more of it, they’ve been so kind to go in the back and get it. Even when I told them that I’d wait till they’re done doing whatever they were doing, they’d go right away. Always with smiles and saying thank you, even when I’m the one thanking them.
This store is close to my friends place so I’ll either come with them or stop by before going to their place. The prices for everyday items are definitely better than or similar to when it’s on sale at a Ralph’s or Vons.
The shoppers are also friendly. The lady in front of me gave her husband a look to move over a bit so I could put my stuff down instead of holding everything. Very considerate!

Horrible. 2 lines open on a Friday night. No one friendly. Also, none friendly staff. Just a heads up.

Had not a very good experience with this store, the fruit is not fresh, and has no taste to it. Bought milk, and when got home, realized it was expired. Will never go there again.

Food 4 less is a miss or hit store. You can find great deals at times and other times it’s overpriced. The produce department wasn’t kept really organized or clean. The meat department was fully stocked and clean. I felt that most of their stuff was rotten or old. It wasn’t as fresh as Ralph’s. I wasn’t sure why the the department names were all in Spanish?
The employees were really nice and seem to know what they were doing. I just think they need more employees to stock product and to keep the store a bit cleaner. The parking lot is a mess too. There parking spots are always packed. This is not my to go market. I was in the area and needed some milk and cookies! :)

This place isn’t all the bad I go here when I grocery shop and have time because the prices on most things are usually cheaper then other place and there’s never really a wait

Price is among the best. I don’t like to shop elsewhere unless for something special.

If you’re into what I’m into. this is the best meat, produce and service in town hands down.
Aside from utilizing this Food4Less for everyday shopping needs, what really stands out here is the Carniceria. Both their ranchera and diesmillo carne asadas are prepared and marinated better than anywhere else at a competitive price. I also love their boneless chicken leg meat and longiniza to grill up. What’s nice also is there’s hardly a wait to get served and the service is excellent!
As far as produce goes — you won’t find better prices for the quality you’re getting within a 5 mile radius. The chiles are mostly pretty spicy here — especially the seranos.
Also — this store usually beats out most of the others on the prices of alcohol. But above anything their service is always the make-​or-​break factor when we choose to come here. Enjoy!

I love this store because they have pretty good variety of products and really good prices!
I probably would have given them 4 stars if they carried at least some organic produce (I have to make another stop at whole foods or sprouts to get produce)
They have really good deals that always have me buying more like the ¹⁰⁄₁₀ 3packs of popcorn or the 99¢ box of pasta.
The best part of food 4 less is their meat department! They have a good size selection. I also like the fact that they have family pack chicken for a great price! (I end up splitting it up and bagging it for separate nights). The guys behind the meat counter are always really helpful.
The customer service at the registers are sometimes decent. Sometimes they don’t acknowledge you.

I really like this location of Food 4 Less since it is close to my house and they carry a few quality items that I cannot find elsewhere. As many know, Food 4 Less is one of the stores that you need to bag your own groceries in order to have a little savings on the overhead costs.
Their selection of produce is ample, but could include a few more specialty items for the gourmet chefs. The produce us generally fresh and a good stock is kept at all times. The meat section is quite vast and could use a few more specialty cuts.
The dairy section is very well done with the inclusion of Cheeses, Sour Creams, Yogurts, Milks and Coffee Creamers.
The bread section has quite a few items to choose from. They carry many of the popular types of white, wheat and rye breads, English muffins, bagels and occasionally have the Texas Toast for those who like to make French Toast.
The spice isle has a good selection just as the condiment section.
The soda isle is what stands out almost as much as the beer and wine section. They have so many flavors of brand and generic sodas. Beers go from wall to wall with all of their vast selection. The wines could use a little more help.
There is usually plenty of parking but can be a challenge at times. This store is nestled in a strip mall parking lot but offers its advantages to other smaller lots.

If you are use to shopping at Sprouts, Trader Joes, Ralphs, Vons or alot of other Supermarkets this place will look and feel like a dump. Just to be honest but you have to take it in the right context. To keep prices low, they of course have lower concerns for décor and other areas.
The good
Alot of Cheap Groceries.
Meat is very Cheap.
Vegetables are Cheap.
Liquor is Cheap.
Good Brands.
The Bad
Its a hit or miss sometimes with the vegetables. They aren’t as fresh as some of the high end supermarkets nor do they have as many choices.
Prices aren’t always cheap with vegetables. Ok so i like alot of veggies.
They don’t have boneless, skinless chicken which I need but alot of other people don’t so it makes sense. you save the money on getting more meat here.
The parking situation is also a debacle. More demand, less parking.
Their staff was pretty friendly, at least to me and the other people that were shopping around me.

The only negative thing here is the parking lot looks like a parade cruises through everyday. Drop a bucket of trash and no one will notice. Plus, a lot of the women that go here dress like they are going into a club, that’s awesome!

I love this store period, prices are the best i usuely get almond or soy milk and the difference in priceing vs ralphs or vons is almost 1 $ everything is cheap but there produce is not that great and needs to improve

Not sure what the negativity is about. It’s a market (that’s what I call it) and no it won’t be as neat as Ralph. You can’t expect to find everything here and somethings won’t be fresh. I buy mostly raw food I can cook for safety and veggie juice like odwalla. The fruits re fresh, eggs… it’s a game of luck. If you want things like yogurt, veggies, fruits and raw products for a bargain, come here. As for chicken, beef and fish, I would suggest somewhere else! I buy mine at Target.
Don’t waste your time looking for feminine products here.
Ps– As for the employees, I have never had a bad experience. If you re nice, they re nice. Ask a question in a polite way and they re ready to help. I have seen people be rude, for chrissake they re working and not your servant, just be nice!

i’m used to living in the ghetto. this location is in the ghetto. I just buy my groceries here, they do lack customer service.

Overall if you want to save some serious $‘s head over to this spot! Of course it’s crowded sometimes but there service and prices are overall a good thing.

I came here last night. They were open until midnight. I went to the Asian section, and unfortunately they don’t have a very big selection. I was a bit disappointed because the other branches I’ve been to usually have what I need when I go for a quick stop. I’ve been here several times. It is not organized like other branches either. Am I the only one comparing the stores?

As far as prices go, they have some of the best. They’re my store of choice when it comes to buying everyday items.
The only thing that discourages me from giving 5 stars is their lack of English. The majority of the signs are in Spanish which, unless you understand it or have been there enough times to know where things are, makes it really hard to find what you’re looking for. I’m not bilingual, and neither is anybody in my family, so seeing every sign in a foreign language bothers me.
The lines are usually long but I’m fine waiting in line a few more minutes if it means I save money, and I do.
The isles are sometimes blocked with merchandise that has yet to be put on the shelves, but you can still navigate around it — it just gives the store a dirty appearance.
They have a «Clearance» rack towards the back of the store by the Dairy section which seems to always have items on it (a feature I really like). I’ve even found movies on it that have been considerably marked down. If you choose to go to this store, I would highly recommend rummaging through it before you check out. I’ve found items I was already going to buy there and saved myself some money.
The staff is mainly Mexican/​Latin, but most of them speak English and all of them are very friendly. If you find yourself in need of a translator they’re all willing to help you and do it with a smile.

I never make it into this part of the neighborhood often but, one day I just wanted to check this place out to see what was going on. Found out, they beat EVERYONE’S prices, period. The produce is not that great but if you get the stuff in bags, it doesn’t matter. They have all sorts of authentic mexican ingredients at amazing prices. The store is usually packed and messy but whatever. The only thing that gets me is, there are no baggers when you check out. It makes for a really rushed exit. The lines are long as well. The checkers dont speak the best english so it’s a bit of a hassle sometimes too. They are usually nice though. Go here when you really need to stock up on stuff for bbq’s, parties, etc. Just bring somone to help you bag it all up.
