Raley's

Can you say charcuterie??

This Raley's is just up the Boulevard from my RE/MAX Sierra Oaks office, aka HQ. Aside from Nugget Market in El Dorado Hills which I frequent for needs when I'm closer to that area, this Raley's location is the be all end all for handling specialty items specific to my personal cravings in my own home, preparing for social gatherings, dinner parties, or even the ladies brunches and game nights I'm known for.

The selection of specialty cheeses exceeds Whole Foods and Trader Joe's ten times over, and I find unexpected goodies to add to my charcuterie spreads on a regular basis. The "Cellar" is a full-bodied experience with a fabulous wine selection that also comes at a surprise for a quaint upscale neighborhood grocer. It's a huge time saver to be able to make one stop, maybe two, for everything I need.

This particular store isn't as big as some sister stores I've been to, and that's ok. It's clean, thoughtfully planned, well laid out, and makes shopping actually faster. I'd have to admit, although they have produce and floral departments, it's not where they excel.

The meat and seafood department is great and well staffed with friendly people. There's a made to order deli sandwich counter, pre-made meals available, quick bites to grab, a Pete's Coffee shop inside with a nice open seating area. I generally prefer a grocery store deli counter sandwich to a chain sandwich shop while I'm on the run between clients, so this is an appreciated ammenity.

Additionally, as I discussed in my review for the grocer further up the FOB, I've been using the store specific apps to explore digital "couponing" and if it really makes a difference in your bottom line. This is in the spirit of being a Mother of sons and teaching my own sons how to navigate inflation, save, invest, and plan for setting aside money for a down payment especially in our current economic climate.

This was my second time using the app. The first time, I think I did better with savings. My cart had a lot of cheese and meat that weren't on sale. Despite that, my total reduced from $126.04 to $84.02. Exactly 33.33% off. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

NEWLY REMODELED FRONT OF STORE. Looks amazing. Great job. Cleanest Raley's I've been to. Very unique design inside and out. Employees helpful and nice. Mailbox drop out front. Pete's hot or cold food inside with a place to sit and enjoy food and beverages. Handicapped parking and ramps. Restrooms well kept.

I visited the store on a Tuesday, about 9pm, to redeem 900 CRV aluminum cans and plastic bottles. I had called before arriving to confirm the policy and was surprised that they follow Calrecycles posted CA state laws to redeem all CRV during all business hours; unlike many in-store retailers nearby. The wait was under 5 mins. The staff was friendly and treated me respectfully. Other experiences redeeming CRV in-store are unpleasant and stressful, often leaving me feeling like my business there is unwanted and burdening. I really liked the relaxed atmosphere of the customers in self checkout and the lack of congestion in the parking lot unloading my CRV. The area is safe and also has fast food, liquor store, and gas station right there. I highly recommend this Raleys for all services offered.

Peet's coffee and pastries. Very tasty treats. Plus easy to ask for/ get help. Always clean. The clerks are great.

Everything fresh and well laid out. Prices reasonable. Friendly staff.

Top notch the store is clean and well maintained. The personal are the best in the business. And the cashier's are professionals and polite and courteous.

The gift card vendor here needs to have some closer supervision by Raleys mhmt. Look at the selection of Amazon cards available at Christmas time in the first picture and then compare it to a competitor. I have a strong preference for shopping at this particular raleys but it would help if they had more stock. The second picture with tons of Amazon cards is a competing grocer.

Out of all the grocery stores throughout the Sacramento area, I like Raley's the best! Always clean, always organized, always looking professional! The employees and staff are always friendly and very helpful! Plenty of parking and safe clean grounds!

I was born and raised in Carmichael and this has always been our family store. It's had its upside and downs over the years but ever since the manager May has taken over this location you wouldn't recognize it. It is clean, well layed out and the lines are efficient and take no time at all to get through even on holiday weekends. I'm sure there are many others to thank but May has stood out as one of the major positive additions to our community. Thankyou for all your hard work and making my daily tasks much easier to handle.

Garlish best condiment ever invented, fresh and natural. Produce section, LOVE it!

Produce are fresh and meats Department are very helpful.

Raley's is the best for fresh, delicious produce. Love the Envy variety of apples that they carry year around. There is nothing more disappointing than bring home fresh produce and finding the item tasteless, damaged, or rotten. Rairly happens with Raley's produce.

Absolutely love our local Raley’s! Exceptional service. Manager Wade is a gem! He always has great advice on cheese selections.
The entire staff is always cheerful and ready to assist anyway they can. I cannot be happier to have such a great local supermarket.
Organic produce is great and absolutely love the Friday wine tastings at 530pm!

I am giving 5 stars because of the store, not the prices. It is always clean, well staffed and well stocked. The prices will beat most other large brand grocers for sure but for me it is the people. They are always super nice and helpful. Some of them have been there since I was a kid, 18+ years. And the stores standards are very high. It is my first choice for the random thing that you forgot for dinner or the fresh veggies that you need that night so I can avoid the hassle of the discount grocers (their veggies are awesome). It is always in and out here. I love this location.

The location is great for me so I stop here often. It's always clean and neat and the isles easily accommodate more than one cart at a time. Everything is well organized and easy to find. The produce is always fresh and tasty. And the produce guys are super helpful and will teach you how to find the best every time.

As the 1994 Bag Olympics champion, I can say that store 431 has a special place in my heart. Raleys is higher priced overall but this location is great with nothing sketchy in the parking lot and good parking.

No complaints 👌
This store location treats their employees and customers like family. What more could you ask for. Lower prices ? Yes lol, I would definitely recommend and return to this store.

So much good food at great prices! Their premade items are great when you do not want to cook. Their fresh produce is some of the best and are perfect for killer salads. The meat department has a great selection of good cuts.

We have enjoyed shopping at this Raley's since 1981, and it is our favorite store...there isn't even a close second. I've found the savings are consistent and better than the competitors I'd shop. Store employees are always friendly, they will actually walk with you to help find things, and the store itself always smells nice and is kept clean. It makes our weekly shopping trip such a pleasure for us.

They have a good selection and great produce! Additionally, the staff is very welcoming and helpful.
