“I’ve been shopping/volunteering at Vindeket for four years now and am excessively grateful FoCo has such an amazing resource. Vindeket became the linchpin to allow me to afford living in such an affluent/expensive town.
I started visiting when I began attending graduate school at CSU in 2021. Initially simply to feed my curiousity (being a fellow/frugal dumpster-diver), yet when I became food insecure due to higher-than-expected tuition fees, I frequented more in earnest. It’s kind and empowering to come gather food that would’ve been thrown away, helping negate the horrific food-waste statistics, but also selfishly gratifying to save hundreds a week on grocery bills (seriously I eat like a horse).
Despite all our donations consisting of foods past their ‘best by/sell/expiration’ date, I can attest (I am still kicking enough to type this out, no?) that after four years I’ve never had any health issues. As the website explains: use your nose and trust your gut! In fact, due to the oddities and unexpectedness of what grocery stores provide, I have access to a cornucopia of options!
Excluding two, Vindeket is run exclusively by volunteers. I won’t speak for everyone, but I endeavor to be welcoming, receptive and empathetic. However, we are only human and there are many more shoppers than there are volunteers. Thank you for your patience with us!!
Similarly, Vindeket relies heavily on donations from shoppers. If you are able to give, however little (even $1 is lovely! truly!!), we appreciate it. Please know it goes towards unavoidable bills, such as diesel and electric.
I am often doing parking lot duty, so if you see a figure with all the tats (Summer) or a flamboyant onesie (Winter) give a wave or hello! But also please know I cannot chat too long as there are many cars to direct! If you have any questions, wrangle a fellow volunteer and we will be as informative as we can.
Ultimately, Vindy is a rare bird. I am (once more) exuberantly grateful to be a part of such a worth-salt cause!”

“We love this place! We are lucky to have them right downtown for bulk groceries, spices, and all kinds of products that help us eliminate more single-use plastic in our house. They have gluten-free flours and oats. Also love the selection of local meats, meals and bone broth. Very clean and helpful staff. Thanks for giving us a great place to shop!”
“While the parking lot is simply terrible (a considerable incline that causes your cart to roll away from your vehicle) and the lot is so small there is no room for cart returns, the store itself and the employees are amazing! I primarily do all of my grocery shopping here. Would recommend you check out TJ's and their reasonable prices and quality food if you haven't yet!”
“***UPDATE 2/26/26***
I was contacted by Jared about my review. When I tell you he listened and made it right. Not only did he take accountability of the situation, he apologized, offered a refund/return ( my choice) and promised to speak to the associate I spoke to at the store. This and speaking to Jared is the reason why I am changing my 1 star to 5 stars. When I went back to the store (2/22/26) the leadership was friendly and kept apologizing. The chicken I got that day was fresh and I would recommend shopping at Shamrock. I do feel they put the customer first and will make sure they fix any problems you have. Thank you Y'all

I wish I had read the fine print on their website (couldn't find anywhere else) before purchasing. Unfortunately, I ended up losing 40 pounds of chicken because the company does not offer any guarantee on refrigerated or frozen meat. This policy is buried in the fine print.That was a costly lesson for me. Buyers should definitely review the return and guarantee policy carefully before making any purchase from Shamrock Foodservice Warehouse. I know better now!”
“Items are inexpensive. They do not accept cash or coupons. They do accept cards and EBT.
What I would pay over $100 at Walmart, I paid $43.00.
Highly highly recommend.”
“Absolutely perfect!!! Lives up to its name. Delicious, meticulously prepared authentic Mexican food. Breakfast burritos were perfectly sized for a hearty meal withou being excessive. The carne asada burrito had balanced ratios of all ingredients while still generous amounts of lean well-seasoned carne asada. The salsa was spicy and flavorful. Cleanliness is an obvious strength here too. From the prep area, well stocked market and butcher counter,dining area and the well-maintained restroom, pride in cleanliness is obvious. We will be back. Next time I need to give the posole a try because it looked amazing and everyone seemed to enjoying it. A new Fort Collins go-to for our family.”
“Absolutely love this place! They are so kind and friendly here absolutely great products! Abe was wonderful and helped me so much and they're extremely knowledgeable definitely will be returning ?”
“Friendly staff, good selection, great atmosphere! Angie is the best! She's been there for like ever, she worked for Steele's before, she is so helpful and friendly! The produce that she puts out is the freshest!”
“Love this place! Feels like a small town market. Bulk foods, deli and coffee shop, large health and beauty section, nice produce and meats, etc. They even have cards and a post office on site, so you can mail a card in one stop, while enjoying a coffee or delicious sandwich.”
“Such a unique selection of products. And you can go back in the same week and not find the same thing. Prices are amazing, staff is very friendly. It's become my new go-to grocery.”
“My favorite store for bulk staples like granola and dried fruit. The dried cranberries here are terrific! Excellent selection of organic produce and prepared foods. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Love that they’re open until 7p.”
“Pickup is iffy. Sometimes they have people available and sometimes my order gets postponed. They newer people this yr they've had fulfilling pickup order lately are very kind and prompt if available.”
“My hetero life partner, Dawn and myself run the roads instacarting in NOCO. Of all the Sprouts we shop in, this location has the most communicative and friendly staff. The best part is the cashier, Cassandra, she knows what we're doing and how to make the process seamless and enjoyable. I've personally started shopping here because of this individual and the staff on a whole. Keep doing what you're doing”
“I do 80% of my grocery shopping here. Good layout in store. Easy to navigate. Friendly staff. AND usually find in store deals that are better in price than other grocery stores”

“Freshness You Can Feel — A Store That Cares ??”
While staying nearby, I stopped in with some health-focused goals on my mind — and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the air felt clean, the produce looked alive, and the team greeted me like I mattered. ??
Every piece of fruit and every vegetable looked freshly picked, and I could actually taste the care that went into how this store sources and handles food. Their commitment to wellness shows in every aisle — not just in what they sell, but in how they make you feel. ?
I left with a full bag, a happy heart, and a smile that stayed with me the rest of the day. Thank you, Natural Grocers Fort Collins, for reminding me that health and kindness can still be found under one roof. ?”
“This market has grown into a lovely place that I am now frequenting weekly. The pizza is amazing, the salad bar is epic, the beverage section is endless and fabulous. I enjoy the ease of parking, smooth shopping carts and mellow vibe inside of the store. Keep up the great work.”
“Very good produce section, and my favorite is the hot bar. The mushroom meatloaf is my favorite. I wish it wasn't so expensive but you get what you pay for.”
“Excellent produce department. I use Safeway For U coupons weekly, which helps bring down their high prices. Cabbage @$0.89/# r/t $1.29, Romaine @$1.59 ... every little bit helps! Without these coupons I'd shop elsewhere.”
“I think that there shoul be more king Soopers fuel centers. Between the price of gas and food these days, who doesn't like a little incentive after spending so much on a necessity like food during the week?I received a whole quarter off my gas at the kind Soopers fuel center just for shopping and entering my phone number. Only problem is they are few and far between,yet still, it is very Much appreciated King Soopers . Now let's see more fuel centers go up ehh?”
“It's convenient when you realize after buying a months worth of freezer items and get in your car just to realize your gas light is on and the closest gas station is about a mile away ...”
“excellent place to shop. clean, owner is very nice, and most everything is labeled nicely, and they had a lot of the products i couldnt get anywhere else except Denver.”
“Tamales are the best! Definitely do not cut you short on the meat like so many others. Carnitas with marinade are bomb too! Won't go anywhere else! Definitely recommend!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars for the Apocalypse Headquarters
I walked into Dollar General expecting a quick stop for toothpaste. I left two hours later with toothpaste, a pool noodle, a single flip-flop (size 14, I wear a 9), a can of Vienna sausages that expired when Obama was in office, and a burning question about whether I’d just been part of a social experiment.
The aisles are like a maze built by someone who lost the blueprint halfway through. You turn right at the off-brand Mountain Dew, dodge a suspicious stack of Christmas decorations (in September), and suddenly you’re in a universe where off-brand batteries and dog food share the same shelf. I half expected David Bowie to pop out and start singing “Labyrinth.”
At checkout, the lone cashier was simultaneously ringing people up, arguing with a customer about whether a coupon from 2004 was valid, and somehow running national defense operations from her headset. Legend. She deserves a raise, a nap, and possibly a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Dollar General is less of a store and more of an adventure. You don’t go in because you need something—you go in because the universe has chosen you to discover what you didn’t know you needed. In my case, it was a scented candle labeled only “Mystery Musk.” My living room now smells like a combination of pine trees and regret.
Would I go back? Absolutely. Because where else can you get shampoo, a hunting knife, and knockoff Oreos called “Choco Circles” all for under $20?”
“Always excited to go to this farmers market. Plenty of unique stands with everything that's in season plus lots of other goodies (breads, pies, tortillas, kettle corn, teas, and more). Probably the only downside for me is the location. I wish it was closer to old town and not on Harmony but at least this way they have plenty of space and parking. The MAX also doesn't run on Sundays so I have to drive or bike instead.”
“The cashier Weldon was a next level GOAT! He helped me so much. I couldn't find the apples, and he helped me! And then complimented my hoodie. This guys a massive G!”
“Finally stopped here to try out the tacos, and I'm so glad I did. Had the barbacoa which was great, the Al pastor was AMAZING and perfect, and the tripe which was rich and so delicious. Go here. Clean, spacious, and friendly service. Had a Fresca from the cooler to wash down the tacos and a pastry for desert. Perfect. 10/10 will be coming here again.”

“I have been shopping at this store for 20 plus years. I am so grateful for Rahul and Niki. They are amazing employees, keeping everything clean, paying attention to detail, making conversation with customers to make it a pleasant experience and making every trip I take to the store such a comfortable feeling.The prices are rising way too high, way too fast. So when the customer experience is gone, I won't be returning. But as long as the amazing employees are there, I will continue to spend my money at this store.”
“Chris helped me out with the classical rum punch ??. It was an awesome experience and he showed me the ways as I didn’t know exactly how to make one. 10/10 customer service will definitely be coming by again!”

“Overall this is a pretty good Walmart. I like their grocery section. They have a good supply of organic produce. The only downfall is they never keep enough people to help in the electronics department, especially when you need someone has to unlock the display. The checkout is always quick and easy.”
