Yes, I know that I go on and on about Winco, but if you've never been, I promise you will save money on groceries.

The new one is located off of Roy Rogers at the 15.....just past Civic Center.

It's a fabulous store with really great prices. I promise you won't be disappointed.

It's a zoo as they just opened up yesterday, but give it a try.

I love WINCO!!!

They have a really good deal on the mixed greens salad and you can't get it at Staters. I also love their bulk section, it's fabulous!!

I have been to the Winco in Apple Valley while visiting my son and it is really a good store. The prices were just awesome and the choices were very nice. What a wonderful addition to the High Desert.

I went to Winco in Fontana last week for the first time. There was one phrase that kept coming out of my mouth as I went thru every single aisle...."Oh my Gosh!"

I bought some things I normally couldn't afford to buy because they were a great price. I am going back to Fontana tomorrow to get some more. I'll start going to the one in Victorville when the crowds settle down a little.

Staters is now the store I go to when I need milk or bananas.

What about meat? Is their meat quality any good? I love the prices at Superior Market in Fontana, but their meat usually has a lot of fat on it so that your paying for that extra fat. Is the produce quality better than Staters? Does it last longer than a couple of days? Or is it just a store to stock up on canned and dry goods?

I got some really neat looking pork that I put in the freezer. Their chicken prices were ok. Foster farms, I think. The bacon in the deli section was nicely priced and I got string cheese for a great price. I bought a lot of produce and it all seemed good and we're still eating it. It's been a week. The onions were on sale for 18 cents a pound. I bought several of them also.

No, I bought just about everything I usually buy from Staters and saved money. I would say I saved about $30 or more. The bread I need (diet) is $4.19 at Staters, was $3.30something. Milk and eggs are nicely priced.

I found in general everything seemed to be lower in price and the quality seemed very good. The meat and seafood section was really nice and when you to to a seafood section at a store and it DOES NOT smell like seafood that is a PLUS! It was very clean and the prices were really awesome.

For those of us who use the convenience of a credit card for most purchases, I noticed in their ad, that was in our PO Box, that they do not take any credit cards. If you are going to make a big purchase at their store, you better have enough cash or funds in your debit or checking account to cover it.

Do they take debit cards? I never carry cash.

Do they have pet food and kitty litter?

twinkie · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 05, 08, 12:27:41 PM »

Yes and Yes.

Going North on the 15, exit Roy Rogers and turn left or right?

Katwest13 · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 07, 08, 01:08:31 PM »

Left or West

cookiesforthree · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 07, 08, 03:16:18 PM »

Thanks!!! I'll be there bright and early to check it out!!

I was looking at their paper. Some of the prices are too good to be true. I'm so there tomorrow between my soccer games. If the prices are good enough, I might not need to go to Costco anymore. They don't take credit cards either so it doesn't make a difference whether I give my money to Winco or Costco.

Katwest13 · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 07, 08, 03:52:24 PM »

Be prepared to wait in line...I heard it was crazy! $:-\$

Stitches · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 07, 08, 03:56:52 PM »

Oh. I didn't think about that. Depending on when the tournament games start, I may only have an hour or maybe two to be there. Looks like it will have to wait.

Katwest13 · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 07, 08, 04:03:48 PM »

Even the one in Apple Valley was busy. I think people are going WINCO crazy this weekend!

WWMtnGal · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 07, 08, 04:10:29 PM »

I went to the Apple Valley location on a Friday afternoon and it was not too busy. The isles are wide and the store is laid out really spacious so it was really nice.

The pricing is wonderful!!

Katwest13 · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 07, 08, 04:18:59 PM »

I agree that the store is great, but I think all the hype this weekend is making both stores busier than usual. A friend of mine was at the Apple Valley store yesterday and stood in line for a while and it was packed!
