“Grocery Outlet is my go-to spot when I just need to grab a few basics without spending a fortune. Seriously, the prices here are hard to beat. I always walk out feeling like I actually got more than my money's worth, which honestly doesn't happen that often at other stores.
The place is easy to navigate, nothing fancy, just grab your stuff and go. Produce, canned goods, your typical everyday staples. The staff are pretty chill and will point you in the right direction if you're hunting for something specific.
Now, if you're on the hunt for, like, imported truffle oil or some hard-to-find international ingredient, you're probably gonna have better luck somewhere else. This isn't that kind of store, and that's totally fine. It knows what it is.
For regular weekly shopping though? It gets the job done. I've never left empty handed and my wallet stays pretty happy. If you just need solid everyday groceries without the headache of a massive crowded supermarket, give it a shot.”
“I love how much the store has improved and the large selection they are starting to have... I periodically stop by to get my snacks for my road trips or for my husband to take to work.. On this trip I found Arizona Ice Tea Popsicles”
“Beautiful store nice customers!A nice greet when walk into the store. This store is a really nice clean and organize Also there workers Are extremely
Polite. Great products and great deals for $5 I highly recommend to check it out the store is really fun”
“I love this store it is very well stocked and the employees do their jobs well i drive from the monterey area to come to this location because of all the interesting products it has. Also I am gluten free and their selection for gluten free items
is amazing they have things I cant get in my local GO. Also they have a clean restroom for customers.”
“Dollar Tree is actually better than it used to be. True , its no longer a dollar, it's $1.25 which is still pretty cheap compared to other stores. Snacks are an example. I can get a bag of chips for $1.25 but the grocery store costs nearly $5.00”
“I didn't really have much time to look around here the only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because there were hardly any customers at all I don't know if maybe these people that have these stalls at the discount mall are not lowering their prices enough to have customers I feel that that may be the issue because they have such a variety of things inside all these different shops with different things from clothing to food to shoes to jewelry there's so much there to see and look at however they are not getting much business so come on people get on over to discount Mall and give them some business maybe we should just suggest to them that they should lower their prices a little bit, if all of the shops inside got together and had a meeting to discuss this and agreed that they should all lower their prices a little bit then they should have a big celebration like a sort of a reground opening something like that and advertise big sales they need to get it going again”
“i want to give a loud shout out to the young man named ANTHONY.. this young man is so respectful and kind and helpful .. i always loved going to dollar tree because of there prices , now i go for anthony ..”
“This is my go to store if I need something quick, like a last minute gift. I drive from Salinas just to go to this store.They have just about anything you can imagine here. Good quality merchandise that lasts. Their prices are plenty fair. More than fair. The staff is always extra courteous and very nice. If you go here to shop around you won't regret it.”
“IN SUMMARY: GREAT PRICES, COOL NEW ITEMS FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY. IN MY OPINION, DEFINITELY WORTH TRYING IT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.
Prices are awesome and I love all the little gadgets from another country. The forgin snacks aren't half bad either. So much is 5$ and under. I got a lot of neat stocking stuffers from here this year and it was a hit! We tried some of the stir fry noodle packages with tofu and they were pretty good and easy for kids to make as an after school snack. Just add water.”
“Despite the events that occur at this store specifically at night, the workers are always running up and down trying to get their daily task done. I am a regular customer. It’s very unfortunate that a multi million dollar company is greedy enough to not consider more workers or security. I seen the police department post about a burglary that occurred on Saturday. It’s sad to hear about this specially because the employee was by herself. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victim. ? dollar general please do better. It could have been worse. Sorry to whom ever had to go through that.”

“The Philadelphia temple, the most beautiful sensation you can feel, you feel peace, you feel the presence of my God in that place (he clarified, I'm not talking about the dds store but I don't know why that address is given and not the one I want)”
“We have a collection of items we try to get at one of the local Dollar trees. Cleaning items and snacks are always on our list.
The Marina location is usually cleaner and more orderly than the others. The selection rotates in and out frequently, so we'll stock up when our selections are in stock. When you're picking up more than just one or two items the savings can be significant.
It's also worth a few minutes of your time to check out the small Grocery Outlet next to the Dollar Tree. They also frequently have heavily discounted items. On this visit the Grocery Outlet had a three pack of Family Size Nabisco Chocolate Chip Cookies for just under $5.
Patience and politeness offered to the overworked staff is usually appreciated and returned.”
“I stopped quickly! The store was organized despite few employees! The cashier was very kind and had good customer service skills :) the vibes were great would definitely recommend”
“Has lots of items, including some that cannot be found at other dollar trees in area, not sure why there is a dollar tree triangle in this area 1 mile apart from each other(3 locations) but, in this store there is plenty of room for more, and some labeling for the aisle would be helpful”
“Store is kinda messy but has lots of variety. My cashier Brenda was very nice and sweet as well as quick. Probably the best dollar tree in salinas out of the bunch”
“Absolutely love this place, I always come on Tuesdays or Mondays, although as a teen/tween I came here shopping alone with my parents waiting for me in the car, after shopping this cashier with a face mask on has the audacity to make fun of me when I was one dollar short, then this lady that works there pushed my car,, back to the cashier, he literally called me something that I couldn't hear because he whispered it, that ruined my day, and I left embarrassed and frustrated, yes I know this may seem dramatic but it's what I think and I felt embarrassed and frustrated because of the service they gave me”
“If I could give this store 10 stars, I would. The other day I went to try out Grocery Outlet for the first time. From now on I am coming more often for the best deals and amazing customer service!! Shoutout to that manager Judith for doing her best on being the best and super friendly and helpful!! Going more often especially to see Judith!!”
