The staff is stupid and on a power trip. Talk about jumping the gun... their "lost prevention" squad seriously needs to get some class falsely accusing someone of stealing and wasn't even out of the store. Hate these people dumbasses

During the last 25 years I hardly ever shopped at this Winco store and when I did it was mostly for their bulk items. I have always been impressed with the bulk items selections, but the long check out lines kept me from being a regular customer. Plus. we are pretty close to the Elk Grove - Florin Rd Safeway and this store is a few miles away. Safeway is a good upper mid-priced market and cheaper than the Bel Air across the street. Or at least they were. I'm a retired corporate buyer amongst other careers I had and I don't spend any more for food than need be. I do all our food shopping. I am a member of the Safeway rewards club and I buy stuff on sale or clearance. In the last two years their massive price increases have made me look for a better deal. I found it at Winco.My 4 star review would be 5 stars if they didn't change their damn prices overnight and they do it every night. They must have a team of people working at night changing prices. Last week Post Honey Bunches of Oats were $1.28. That is a super great deal! A few days later they were $1.58 and yesterday they were $1.78. Tomorrow who knows what they will be selling for? This makes it hard for me to stay within our budget, but overall I am saving a ton of money as their prices are very good. Now that I am shopping here most of the time I find that the checkout lines really aren't as bad as I thought before. When the line get really long more checkout stands open up.

Don't ever come here unless you want to wait over 20 minutes to check out. They have a out 5 lines open with no control and the lines are wrapped all the way near the frozen food section. Where is management for the crazy ass lines!!?? Got customers all in the aisles and makes it difficult to cut to another isle and etc. Management is a bunch of clowns here. A circus is ran better then this! Seen lot of customers just bail the line leaving full carts and never came back. Unacceptable.

I show up at WinCo during the hours of restock. I need to find certain types of fresh fruit to make smoothies for my Mom whom has Cancer. She seems to think they help. I got all fruit needed. Well, all but blue berries. I looked for about 20 minutes. Nothing. My last option, I ask a gentleman named Ambrose, whom is restocking, if any blueberries were in stock. "I got you man. Follow me." He immediately stopped what he was doing which consisted of a pallet jack with about 10 levels of produce on it. Followed him to the other end of WinCo where he disappeared through the large double doors and into the back. 5 minutes went by and I started to lose hope. To my surprise, a huge smile pushes the double doors Caring six packages of blueberries for me to pick from. Today's journey complete. I can now rest. Thank you WinCo foods. You guys consistently set the standard of quality and consistency. Jake esparza

I gotta admit this to everyone, I am a Winco junkie. I've shopped at ALL of their warehouse locations in the greater Sacramento area; Orangevale, Arden (Watt Ave.), Antelope, Roseville, Folsom, and this one which is in the north part of Elk Grove and fairly close to South Sac. However, this is location and the Antelope location are my least favorite Winco stores to do my shopping and I will go into detail with this review. The location itself (which is on Sheldon Rd. and tucked in between Bruceville Rd. and Highway 99) is fine but as many other Yelpers have stated, it is crowded and not quite the best crowd to go with it. The parking lot is an absolute ZOO and on any given day, you will see everyone with their mother, cousin, aunt, uncle, well you get the picture. I would highly avoid this place on the weekends and try to make your trip here in the morning hours if you can. Now once you make it into the store with your shopping cart, you directly make a right where they advertise specials on all types of food and beverages. The produce section can be a hit or miss as you have to make sure not to get a spoiled item since the fruits and vegetables are not as desirable as other major supermarkets. However, the real winner with this store is their bulk section (which is what all Winco stores are known for). You can find the best prices anywhere on flour, sugar, salt, nuts, cereals, rice, beans, dried fruits, pasta, spices, candy, and even pet food. Their bakery also carries a very decent selection of home-baked breads, pastries, donuts, cookies, cakes, and pies. As far as their meat section, this is another area that can be hit or miss. I personally do not buy a ton of meat items here except for boneless chicken and pork. Much of the steak, seafood, and ground beef is just average quality. But they do have a nice deli department where many of their cold cuts (turkey, ham, roast beef, etc.) taste good in a sandwich. As far as the regular name-brand items, prices are competitive with what you would find at a large-box supermarket; especially FoodMaxx and Foods Co. I do like that even with food prices skyrocketing in 2021-22, Winco does everything in their part in keeping their prices down as much as possible. Even during my visit (which was on Saturday 6/4/2022), I bought a nice loaf of freshly baked sourdough bread for $3.28, a gallon of 1% milk for $3.48, and a 40-pack of bottled water for $3.99 + CRV. All in all, if you can get past the chaos of customers and the parking situation, the Elk Grove "WinCo Foods" is a very decent place to do your grocery shopping which is why I am rating this store four stars. The public restrooms are clean, customer service (where you can purchase hard alcohol, money orders, etc.) is above average, and the cashiers are always in an upbeat positive mood. They also have several self-check out registers if you have 15 items or less. Just keep in mind that they do NOT accept credit cards so make sure you have cash, debit, or EBT cards handy. Happy shopping!

I'm grateful they're open 24 hours, that really helps us shift workers. They restock at night, which is unavoidable. But for the past year, the employees have gotten aggressive about it. They take over the store, so it's extremely difficult to get through the aisles, even the main aisles, due to the obstacle course of pallets and boxes and machines. I think some of them take pleasure in making it hard for shoppers, haha. As a worker, I get it. But as a customer, it's a stressful experience. Like others, I'm suspicious about the quality of the "fresh" stuff, but I love all the packaged/canned items. For the prices, the inconveniences are worth it.

Listen, I have been shopping at Winco for 15 + years and every time I seen a decline in customer service and friendly culture. Last night was terrible there was an older woman cashier who was BEYOND rude to EVERYONE she encountered through her check out line. This also included myself and my husband. She proceeded to tell my husband, "You need start bagging the groceries! Move those big items into the cart!" One man had a few items and she said, "You need to self-checkout. He told her, "It's closed." She told this poor man to "climb under the rope!" The nerve! She was so RUDE it was unbearable. Today, I called the day manager and he promised he would "run the camera" and have the night manager approach the employee. Run the camera? Training opportunity there, too. I was grateful for an apology. I really hope they train this woman to be better at her delivery. With food being so expensive we are using our dollars wisely! Winco, you need to do better.

Had posted a review a few months ago about how horrible the service was here. Been a customer for almost 12 years and the teM always seemed happy! Eager to help and always spoke when passing. That changed with the last General Mgr. He would wake right past and never speak. I was pleasantly surprised today when a new face greeted me with a BIG smile and a "how you doing?" I glanced at his nametag- Donnell- General Mgr!!!! Woo hoo! You are the new culture of your store! Stopped and told him how happy I was that he was here! Whomever decided to give Donnell this store THANK YOU! Your team will lead by example and make this Winco a pleasant place to shop again!! Welcome Donnell!!

They were wrong to take four leaves of greens roll them up and charge $1.78 for Thanksgiving whereby foods Co. had the greens for $.79 a bunch and there were a lot of them.

I want to say I never leave a comments on this groceries. I think I am not only not seeing the big problem. I bought ground beef and I always freeze all my meats. I always check all meats before I used it. Apparently I got sick from the ground beef and I'm stuck inside my house lockup. I remembered your team always have a routine to check all the meats and the product. I'm not happy right now and I could of be really sick.It's not fun being sick

12/26/2021 I went to buy shrimp and crab. The shrimp was labeled $11.98 Jumbo Wild caught. However, they mixed the jumbo shrimp with regular shrimp and was selling it for the same price as the jumbo shrimp. When I told the guy about it, he just looked at me. What a rip off! Those smaller shrimp were probably farm raised and priced as much as the jumbo shrimp. Look out for price gouging at Winco Foods in Elk Grove. Ask questions!
