Smart & Final

Organized store, helpful staff, people are polite here. They had everything we needed here. The only problem I had about this place is that they didn't have whipped cream cheese and our corn looked like someone took a bite out of it or it got old. Overall, I like this place. It also has cheap good prices.

The store was clean and well organized. The staff was helpful. Their specials were clearly marked. It's a store my husband enjoys visiting.

8/30 small avocados are 3 for $1.

11/15 Avocados still 3 for $1.
Looks like they are busy stocking up for the week before Thanksgiving.

UPDATED 1/24/2024..... hasn't changed much, still a great little neighborhood store
=================================
I really love shopping here... they offer great deals & I can find what I am looking for all the time. Most of my family have started shopping here since I tell them of my deals. The parking lot is always crowded, there is a ramp for handicap shoppers. The shelves are fully stocked all the times. Where ever I go I usually look for this store because u can always find deals. Staff is helpful, store is clean everytime I come here.

Had what I need. Quick shopping at the smaller, faster warehouse store.

I like S&F in general, but I just wanted to give a thumbs up to this store. The manager, Frank, was super helpful and nice. Not the "I'm nice because I have to be because I'm at work" kind of thing. I could sense he had a good level head and was a good guy.

Check it out sometime, it's worth the drive. Good people make all the difference sometimes.

I thought this store would have the soft-serve ice cream in stock after I saw it at the El Cajon/Fletcher Parkway store. This ice cream was not in stock at the Clairemont Mesa location.

Sales team and selections are Great!! As good or better than Big Box options

There is plenty of stuff in here, from vegetables to toiletries to pet food; the prices are good and the thing I find the most useful is that they open early, I don't like to get my salads too many days in advance!
Parking is more than adequate and the staff is friendly enough to feel comfortable.

This visit was the best one in a long time. They had everything we were looking for. The people we chatted with were great. And the guy at the checkstand was awesome. 👍👍 The only thing that changed from the first part is Lori was our cashier, but she was just as great. She has us smiling big!

Great selection of groceries, everything needed for dinner was here, also great prices and the parking was available. The cashier was so nice and helpful. Store is super clean.

Nice clean well stocked with friendly help. It's a good place to shop. Big box store with the feel of a neighborhood market. The help has worked there for years and knows everyone's name. You'll save money and feel right at home here for sure.

Always have what I need at good prices

Great store! All the shelf’s were stocked, the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Well stocked organized store, prices are competitive and employees are friendly. Great selection of big box items without the big warehouse commotion.

They got everything in this store. They got a better meat selection then years past. I get a rack of ribs an some chicken to bbq. The employees are super cool an funny at the registers. All the aisle are stocked. The only bummer is the beer is not cooled.

Was there last night helpful staff very friendly pleasant attitudes. Forgot some things at the counter they brought out to our car. Before we left very nice

This is a high volume consumer store geared towards bulk purchases and restaurant owners, although an individual may shop and reap significant financial savings as well.

The selection is broad and there has yet to be any type of food that I have been unable to find, as well as kitchen and dining accessories. This includes a multitude of various ethnic staples and seasonings.

The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, no matter how busy they are.

The only caveat is that sometimes checkout may take 10 to 15 minutes due to the large number of people in multiple lines, although the lines are constantly moving at a good pace and clip.

Parking is great and it's a large parking lot shared by multiple businesses. In over five years I have always found a quick, easy, close spot.

I love it there. I don't shop for a lot of people just myself. So I go in and grab a few things at a time. When the produce gets a little spray of water speakers make a thunderstorm sound. It's pretty cool

I want to make sure that Robin- one of your employees- gets the recognition that she deserves. A couple days ago I was in the check out line and Robin was helping the customer in front who was a lady that was being pretty rude to her for getting her change back in 5's instead of a bigger bills (i'm guessing that there no bigger bills in the cash register) and Robin was handling the whole situation very politely and respectfully. Which I was surprised by because this lady was really being terrible to her. Very professional employee!

Great place to shop most of the time very fast short lines
