Smart & Final Extra!

1/27/23

1 don't visit smart and final very often but when I get the chance, I always load up on fried products.

Yep, they have the best French fries variety, hash brown Pattie's and onion rings. Prices are decent. Unfortunately, I under estimated my shipping ability and only picked up as basket. I only made it down 4 aisles. Next time I will definitely get a shopping cart instead.

The egg prices are all outrageous due to avian flu. No eggs for me for a good long time.

Your Home for Party foods!

Anyone remember the green "avocado" sauce from little league?? Here's where you'll find it in a frozen big ol' jug.

Anyone having a hard time finding Yoplait Lite yogurt? Here's where you'll find cases of that as well.

Those are the two items that have us coming back to Smart & Final... but there are several other items that we stumble upon that keep us shopping and looking around once we are inside. Plus the prices are great! Produce seems to be pretty fresh, lots of regular grocery items are available as well as "big" items for parties and large gatherings.

I don't shop here for my weekly groceries, but I don't see why one couldn't.

There can be some large lines, just be prepared for that. And I agree with some other reviews that the employees can be "meh" and uninterested.

La Habra S&F has easy parking and lots of surrounding stores. Great location.

Didn't find Sadaf Mediterranean seasoning here but found Dexter's Pretty Fly for a White Guy hot sauce. They come in 3 varieties. I didn't get any this time, but will put it on my list to try.

Friendly people, very clean store, very well stocked, good prices. I will keep looking for more things to buy here

My go to store for any snack runs for work. The cashier lady in the morning is super friendly and makes you feel welcome. Everything is clean and organized which makes the snack runs quick and easy.

I bought a batch of Lettuce and tomatoes frequently. it was most of the time fresh.
It's fresh most of the time except a few bad batches, and it's understandable.
This store was well organized , stocked, and always clean.

I always find what I want there! I visited various smart and finals and the employees are always professional.

First off the lines in the store are HORRIBLE the people working there chat with the costumers in line even though a bunch of people are waiting behind them. But whatever, besides that they have moldy food. See my attached pictures. The string cheese we got was completely molded- disgusting! I'm pregnant and they're lucky I didn't eat that or I would have went above and beyond to make it a big deal. We only bought these cheeses yesterday evening and the expiration date isn't until November so they probably don't refrigerate them right away when packing them.

During the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, most large chain stores are completely out of stock on essential items. I usually don't shop at this store but, decided to stop here for the weekly grocery run. I was surprised that the store was not packed for a Saturday afternoon. This was a good sign to me.

The store was clean and had most of the items I needed on my grocery list. The store employees are very nice. One of the female clerks help load a pack of water into my cart. Smart and Final is a lot more calm and easy to shop at during the current restrictions. When you pick up your shopping cart out front, they have sani wipes to disinfect before use.

The check out lines are labeled for social distancing. The cashiers are very helpful and kind with all customers. It's nice to see these retailers pulling together to provide great service to the community.

I can appreciate how S&F is currently handling the COVID-19 situation. At times they have an employee outside managing the amount of customers in the store-- usually during peak hours.

Carts and hand-held baskets are sanitized for your convenience. At the moment, only customers with masks are allowed in the store, as it is like in most large retail and grocery stores.

Currently the meat is being limited to 2 per type: pork, beef & chicken. Toilet paper and paper towels are still non-existent, but those are swallowed whole by customers as soon as they arrive so it's understandable. Some dry goods are 2-4 max per guest/household.

Employees are pleasant and helpful as always. They're wearing gloves and masks to protect themselves and our community. Kudos to S&F La Habra!
