My visit to Smart & final was pretty okay as usual I do my shopping later when folks are quietly at home and not in public so that helps me get my business done in and out as soon as possible. Pretty clean and quiet for the time I go shopping.As usua.l and there’s always one or two items not in stock. Simple things such as meat that is on sale and not available and produce picked clean and left for dead with no one to restock for the evening shift. I plan ahead so at least I got what I needed. I do not typically mind too much the policy for sale items as long as they’re listed at the shelf or I can find them in the mail or online if I look however the sale signs on the shelves so when you get to the register you will not going to discount because you must purchase four or five or two of an item to get the discount. And that doesn’t only go for Smart & final that goes for a lot of businesses. I’m still not used to having to put items back after I put them in my cart and give them a ride around the store and get all the way to the register and they tell me I need three more to get the sale price. Other than that the staff is friendly and helpful and the items they have are neat and organized easily accessible and staff is going to help locate items if needed.For anyone who was like me looking to purchase meat (or anything else) at a Smart & final it is obviously and actually better to purchase a full large cuts of meat and separate it yourself,(cheaper in bulk) or you can go ahead and pay the $20-$25per steak in the package or $40-$60 for a large cut….Hmmm that makes it easy for me even with limited space I will make it work to save the extra $40 as too many people I’m sure. One tip or suggestion I may make is plan ahead put a list together and go early not half an hour before they close at 10:00 p.m. the last thing is make sure to check your receipt because the receipt printers sometimes have very poor readouts and if you need to go back to your receipt for anything you want to be able to read it. That’s all I got, other than that thanks Smart and Final for being a local retailer near me.~JR~

Smart & Final used to be a warehouse primarily for businesses decades ago. The company has transformed to offer low prices in bulk for household homes.Have you tried the Louisiana Crunch Cake? Slightly warm it with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Pretty dark darn good.Items highly recommended- if you are a good cook or foodie is to purchase the dry spices. The chili powder, sea salt, Cajun seasoning and cumin are better tasting and hold the flavor longer compared to many organic products. The lemon herb seasoning is superb on every fish! Add nothing additional with these spices. Try the rotisserie chicken and make scrumptious green chicken enchiladas.Whole bean and other selected coffees are available with a grinder on-site. This location has also upgraded the checkout process with automated call-out to registers. Wide aisles for large grocery carts, strollers and mobilized seating devices.All forms of payment accepted including PayPal, Google pay etc.
