Highway 2 Discount Groceries

This is a great place to find good prices on groceries. Go back often because the selection changes often. This is a very clean & well maintained store.

Friendly staff and great prices and selection in the cooler. It's worth my drive from dsm. Thanks

A very well stocked store. I really enjoy quiet browsing time and their prices are very reasonable.

Very friendly service, GREAT prices and a wide variety. Since they're a discount grocer, they get random things. Often they are priced to move, but you'll see somethings are priced, what would appear to be, standard grocery store prices. But just be diligent when visiting and watch out front and near the registers for the REALLY good deals. There is also a refrigerated section through two black doors, DON'T miss this section. There's lots of good stuff in the cold room. They only take cash or check, so be prepared!

Good selection of reasonable priced goods.

We love going here! Always a great day trip to the middle of nowhere lol! They consistently have affordable options that stock the market pantry with fun new finds. Building is always clean & staff is always shy & friendly. One of my favorite places in Iowa.

This is a drive of 2 hours from my home in Cedar Rapids, but well worth it. Great specials as well as a very nice selection of general merchandise.

Have a lot of markeddown items it's very good prices. Has meat and dairy and very reasonable prices. Not near the selection that there was before the COVID.

The selection is huge and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I bought rhubarb and a bushel of apples. The variety of apples I bought I didn't initially see and one of the employees went and actually found them for me in the back. Ten out of ten will go back again!

Excellent place to shop.

If you don't mind somr food beyond the best buy date it is paradise. Got 10 cups of easy mac for little more than a 4 pack at Walmart. The cheese was great as was the bacon. Can't wait to shop again.

Fun place to shop and they have unique grocery offerings. Cash or check only, but as for "reducing carbon footprints" I would say this Amish business is way ahead of the game. The building is clean, newer and modern and it takes a while to realize that barely any electricity is used for anything but the cash registers.

We love Hwy 2!! We end up going every few weeks just to see what new things they have. Don't get hooked on something because it likely won't be there next time you go, it just depends what is available. The gals that work in there are very nice too. Just a reminder if you go, cash & checks are all they take for payment. You can get some really good deals in there, just make sure to check expiration dates. Enjoy! We sure do!

We go here for bacon and sausage ever few months. They have great prices.

I had read about a discount store near Ottumwa off the Hwy. It took me awhile to find the name but I was glad to find out more info and to be able to shop there. I went on a Saturday and it was busy. I will come during the day next time. If you are coming from the Des Moines area research into different ways to get there. My ride down I took the interstate and went thru Ottumwa, there were a lot of potholes and skinny streets. My ride home was not the same but the roads were good. It seems like there might be regulars who go there. From other patrons we had some looks according to an adult and teen daughter. I didn't notice. I just assumed we do not look like we live in the area or they were surprised by our large family. The staff was mainly friendly and cheerful. I appreciated the written on sale products when I walked in the door, bargain boxes and free items set outside. It seemed clean, which is a plus. My favorite section was the refrigerated and freezer section. I was a bit hesitant to stock up as some items were very far past best buy date. The yogurt (I bought several dozen) was around 2 months past best buy date. I had never had dairy products much past best buy. All was fine except 1 brand which was super low calorie. My favorite shelf stable item was huge bags of cheese crackers. We have gone to discount and closeout stores for years. I would say most items are worth a try past the best buy or expiration date. Proteins drinks, powders, bars and shelf stable milks and alternatives we have not had good experience with. Pastas, oatmeal are always a safe choice. Some grain based items like crackers, chips, cereal and sweets can taste a bit stale, off or have a different texture. Not always, it is hit or miss. Most items we have tried 3-6 months are fine. 9 months or older CAN be bad. It is hard to know. We try to stick to foods we use to make meals with and are typically fine with closeout foods. If you have kids it might be best to go during the day during the week to avoid crowd.

Needed several different ground spices for a recipe I am developing. They had everything+ , left very happy

Amazingly low prices, selection varies from time to time. The people that run it are nice people.

Some of the best prices & wide selection of items! The staff is friendly and the store is super clean!!

They have amazing deals. There are some things that are priced higher than retail stores, but you get that everywhere. The associates were polite to everyone. Worth the drive.

Always so many new items. Love how friendly they always are. Best place to go when you have to budget
