GENERAL QUESTIONS

How can I get the best deals at Grocery Outlet?

Over the years many enthusiasts have shared tips on how to make the most of being a Grocery Outlet Bargain Market shopper, and we want to share them here with you:

• Stop by often. Our inventory changes constantly. Find out when your store receives product and plan a trip on those days.
• When you find something you like, stock up. Many of our bargains are a one-time deal.
• Sign up for email from us, and follow us on Social Media. Sometimes we have special deals or in-store sales events, when the savings get really crazy. We always notify our email and social networking friends first when we do this. You can find us here: Sign up for Email, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram
• Look for what you’re not looking for.  Using a list is helpful for staying on budget, but many expert shoppers tell us they get some of their best deals by staying flexible and ready to act when they see a great bargain.

Does Grocery Outlet take manufacturer’s coupons?

Grocery Outlet does not accept manufacturer coupons. Our business model and relationships with top name brands allow us to buy products at an extreme discount off regular wholesale cost netting out all allowances, marketing funds (which include coupon redemption) and other expenses normally built into the cost.

This allows us to negotiate the absolute lowest cost and pass those savings directly to our customers by offering deep discounts every day. Many of our products are priced less than you would pay elsewhere with a coupon.

You can sign up to receive Grocery Outlet ads, and information about special buys, wine tastings, store events and Grocery Outlet sponsored coupons via email. Click here to visit our sign-up page: Sign up for Email
