“I love this place. Everyone is so friendly and helpful except Terry. For years, everytime I come here she is nasty and rude to everyone. Us stepping into her checkout line should not bring on rage. Makes me sad to see her when I come here.”
“One of my favorite grocery stores to shop. They always have great sales running and I can find just about anything I want. Produce section shines much better than other stores in the area.”
“Always has been a little more expensive grocery shopping than other options, be selective on what you’re willing to pay more for. Great meat department & butchers are usually available for special requests.”

“The power was out and there was no way to use card. I got like $200 worth of stuff in my cart and then went out to find an ATM but not a single one in the area was working. I was going to come back and put my stuff away so the employees didn't have to but my ride got here and would not let me go back inside! I am so sorry! The employees were all so friendly and I feel terrible!”
“THEY HAVE UBE JAM!?!!! I was so excited to find some. The elderly woman working there was super nice. But there was a Really strong smell, it wasn’t a bad smell it just smelt like heavy seasoning scent in the air.”
“Besides all the great food and wonderful selection, the staff is wonderful! In particular, Frank goes above and beyond to make me feel welcomed! He always has a smile on his face and makes me feel like part of the Luckys family! You need more people like Frank!”
“Nice way to spend a sunny Spring Sunday by walking the 15 minutes over to the Cleveland St. bisiness district, and barging around aisle by aisle. You'll always find something you need (or at least find useful or pretty).”
“I am liking their new home decor products.... If they could just get a tiny bit better quality I totally would shop there more! I'm liking what I'm seeing!”
“This Dollar General is the CATS @#$. if you know what I mean. Good staff and shelves full of goods unlike another Dollar General down the road from where I live.”

“Great store that is basically a small grocery store now with the selection of produce and things they added! It's now my go to cause it's right down the road if i need a couple things.”
“The store is clean, employees have always been nice. They are open till 10pm !
Best prices for steaks*.
I work late so at times I have been there 10 min before closing and never rushed. Although I am respectful and quickly get what I need and make it to the checkout with time to spare. Other stores are locking their doors and telling you to hurry on their loudspeaker when there is 30 till close. Talk about giving people anxiety.
Like all shopping you must DYOR. Some items can be more expensive and some cheaper.
Everything went up price wise, thanks to inflation, your buddies you voted for and minimum wage hike but @ Save-a-lot you still find a lot of food on the cheap.
I did have to quit A1 sauce because it's not cheap anywhere ($7 a bottle!).
There are tips:
Everyone should be onto the tube ground meat by now. You get 50% less meat and you are straining the rest (grease/fat/$) out. (hopefully not down your drain!)
Same with some frozen beef/filler patties when compare to others. They will be on fire ? in seconds, dripping grease,, nearly impossible to grill and not burn.
Buy the fresh ground meat and spend a little more and you will get more.
Test it out yourself: make idk... beef stroganoff or ?. Brown 2lb fresh and 2lb of tube beef.
You get coupons with your receipts sometimes, so use them.
The fresh chicken wings are always cheaper than others but...be careful they always seem to have access blood that will leak out the clear wrapper in your car if not careful ?. It happens everywhere tho, something like a phenomenon. It is the no bag thing that can be more noticeable. This Save-a-lot is a bonus here. You can wash your reusable bags if it does leak. Giant Eagle bags can not save you from the leak either, so dont try a 1-up on my post.?
I take them home, wash them re wrap and take out fridge next day and there is chicken fluid again. Maybe they keep the chickens hydrated ?.
???????
My only I wish ?is if you could please cut your steaks to a butchers proper 1- 1/2 inch thickness (at least 1in). ?
Nothing pains me more than a thin overcooked steak or a thin medium rare steak and hot coals leftover. Charcoal isn't cheap. It is by weight and I have been in the store with another thick steak hunter going through the packaged meats to find the thickest of the bunch. Staring eye to eye at each other and eachothers gone through stash, hoping they missed one close enough to the specs your looking for. Ready to pounce on that thick porterhouse before the other customer can see what you just uncovered from the corner of their eye and snatch it from the pile. The steak warz are real.?”
“Friendly pharmacy, thank you for putting apple flavoring in my daughter's antibiotics for her strep throat. Seriously thank you, she hates the bubble gum flavor, so finding out that I can ask for either apple flavoring or grape was awesome.”

“Typical family dollar, it's true about the aisles being cluttered and disorganized. Lots of carts in the aisles with merchandise needing to be stocked. Plenty of parking with two entrances. If you are hauling a trailer or an RV, you could potentially pull in and exit through a separate drive with plenty of space.”
“The fact that this store is now half head shop half grocery store I am in there so much more I love the store I could literally stand around and look at stuff for an hour or two this place is great and the staff is always been absolutely wonderful”
“Went to Dollar general to pick up a cell phone cord for my phone. The service was very helpful in finding the area I needed. Purchased cord and left without any incident”
“They did not have zero sugar A&W in stock at 3 different stores, even though they had a huge supply of regular A&W at each of them. Finally found one store that had cases of it in the back, even though none was out in the store. Also, a huge bag of pre-popped popcorn ended up being stale.Is the fresh hot deli chicken and ribs being discontinued? Service desk and cashier's were very efficient.”
“I have great experiences with the company!
Not too bad they make sure you are taken care of! And they have good quality things both name brand and organic and other great stuff too! I love shopping here and having some good experiences too.”

“My experience was different than the other drivers. Had an appointment 4/17/2024 at 11:00 am, I came anyway just to try to get worked in and they took me early the night before at 8:30pm. I can tell they typically don’t take early appointments based off the response from the receiving office but they were slow so they got me right in. Unloaded in 20-30 mins. Slide tandems to the rear and wait inside the office until they unload you and they’ll come get you once completed”
“Very nice store clean well organized well stocked didn't have to wait in a long line to check out The young man at the checkout counter was efficient and friendly The lady ahead of me had a problem and he patiently helped her”
