Any bad experiences with meat or produce there? never had a problem buying meat there, even lamb. Just the drive and I've butchered a cow so I got meat. as the chicken, naw I'd sooner go for thighs. Same here Chris. My family buys plenty from Winco, without a problem. And I'm a thigh guy as well! Also, as far as different / odd cuts, my wife tends to run slightly anemic so we have been buying beef heart at Winco for years. Lots of good iron content in organ meats of course, and my whole family actually really enjoys it. Used to run $1.68 / lb, I think Bidenflation has it way up at $1.99 / lb now, LOL! Their pre-seasoned leg quarters are tasty and a good deal when they're on sale too, for us thigh guys..... For those who enjoy making salsa, Winco usually has the best price and best quality on tomatillos. Big fat fresh tomatillos, when many stores just have these little old shriveled things. Their bulk section has lots of goodies from their spice/rub mixes (love the smoked paprika and hot chile powder) to whole vanilla beans. Yeah, I'm definitely a fan, but also shop lots of other places. And yes, I totally support their non-union model too!

Went to a Winco in Surprise, AZ a while back. Surprise is a good description -- big, roomy, very clean and well organized. Didn't compare to the store in Kent, but would that surprise anyone?

In my opinion, WINCO got a huge bad rap initially because it is a Non-Union store (store/food market/grocery store chain). They offer food cheaper, don’t have huge selections of the major brands but do offer quality at affordable prices. I shop there all the time but live close to a store (Lacey). Never had a problem with any dairy, meet, chicken or seafood I have bought there. The store is clean, and staff are helpful. You got to keep your eye out with the products you buy as with anyplace you shop.

I shop at the Lacey store regularly. I probably buy 80% of my family's groceries there. Good value and as long as you don't shop during peak times, you can get in and out without fuss. To me, the "characters" that shop there are of no significance. I want a good value on my groceries, bottom line. I like the bakery, the meat is quality and a fantastic value, especially when they have sales like this. We buy this type of deal in bulk, vacuum seal and freeze. It just makes fiscal sense.

On a side note, Gibson's Custom Meats on Martin Way in Lacey currently has boneless/skinless breasts for $1.39/lb this week if you are buying by the case. They also have 85% lean burger at $2.49/lb (today only). Guess I'm going to have to buy another freezer, hehe.

If I had to feed your football team I'd shop there too.

Jerky and pepperoni are just meh and don't hold a candle to Stewart's.
