The McDaniel's Gourmet Blend;Old World Classic great coffee, has been replaced by a stinkier Classic Roast 100% Arabica Ground Coffee.My waste basket smells better then this and probably tastes better.Save A Lot you can do much better then that!This coffee leaves a taste of sharp chedder cheese in my mouth and throat for hours.The oder it gives off whilst brewing is simmular to a waste recycling center.As well as that, it leaves my stomach in an unsettled way.I'd say It's about the worst coffee I've had for awhile. Go back to the OLd World Classic.

I have been a customer of save a lot in havenwood plaza for over 5 years. On several ocassions i have purchased several things, but the luncheon loaf, salami, bologna, hae been molded or discolored on the shelves, on several occasions! I have talked to a manager and they just took the lunch meat and disgarded it or what ever they did with it. I have also purchased shredded cheese with mold in it. The managers are rude and they disregard customer concerns, and every day it is long lines and one cashier. This is becoming a on going issue. Please do something about tehese situations!

Shelf price $3.99 actual price charged $4.50
4 store visits with 7 bags total purchased, each were with a shelf price of $3.99 & was charged $4.50
Why is the shelf price tag not matching price charged? I expect to be reimbursed & am willing to provide receipts

I always buy Ferratos Meat Lovers Pizza from Sav-A-Lot here in columbia Ky. Today I baked it for 35 minutes at 400 degrees and followed the directions thoroughly. It never rised, it was like transluscent dough throughout. It was disgusting. I want a voucher for a free one.

[protected] is the upc code Premium Breaded Shrimp poppers.

This product's taste and texture does not match the description on the box. The shrimp is almost non-existent and it is basically breading. They should be shrimp flavored breaded poppers. These are inedible and should not be sold with its current label.

Shopped at Save a Lot for years...the store in Marion, Ohio had out dated sausage by 2 weeks sitting out for purchase, I bought 2 cans of biscuits and BOTH of them had mold on the inside. When I told the manager that the sausage was outdated she rolled her eyes and walked away. I will never shop at Save a Lot again.

I have compliment not a complaint. I shop at save-a-let fairborn, Ohio. There is nicest young cashier, I think her name was moesha, young black girl (I'm white) very professional, very friendly, she is an example of good customer service and proves all races can be kind. I wish you had 10 more of her. Hats off to her. Thank you.

Hi. On Saturday, June 15, around 8:20 p.m., visit the Leesburg store, fl. Somewhat surprised when I saw one of the meat refrigerators and one of the refrigerators of the ince cream in one aspect, not pleasant for the customers (disorganized and with ice frost). I show you what I saw, so they can correct it.

Thank you,
Damaris Torres

While eating a fish wedges, which I normally love, I got a two inch fish bone in my wedge and was worried there were more and couldn't finish it. We usually love the quality and price but this puts a damper on eating them now which is tough for me as I stick to chicken and seafood.

The bread sticks do not have enough cheese in them. I am very disappointed. I thought it was going to be the same as the picture on the box. Please make them with more cheese. Thank you.

The wife and I love your store and workers. We buy 90% of our groceries there.
The problem is the dirty bath rooms. The store is clean but the Bathrooms yuc!
there are many retired customers using this store, we are in the 80's.

We find this a problem in this area. Please clean up this problem.

Thanks ! Don and Hannelore

It is a very frustrating, and extremely frequent occurrence. It makes one not want to visit this location at all. I work very close so I visit often, and each time I come there is only 1 line open while other employees by pass by. It is a very slow pace for a supermarket, and would greatly benefit from more hires, and new staff .

Today one your long term employees, Judy, was very rude and made a very racist statement regarding paying customers. Today was just one of the many times that I have heard her make rude, nasty, and blatantly racist statements. There was also a child under working age ringing up customer's purchases. She was the child of one of the other employees.

Is this the quailty that you give to your customers when they spend money shopping at Save A Lot Stores? Because this is unacceptable 😡 and this is a package of hamburger patties that your store sells to people.

Been a meat cutter for gerritys for a long time. Your meat Dept is terrible, especially cause don't have good variety. If I wasn't on disability and could get paid under the table I could turn that meat Dept around. John pisena was my meat manager now supervisor for gerritys. Wish I took the job

You have changed ingredients from original it is not nearly as good please go back to original Marcum Soul Seasonings. I use this seasonings 9n everything but the new ingredients don't do the justice. The flavor is dull and not exciting at all. So it 7s very necessary to get it back as before., ...

Bought 3 boxes of the French vanilla for 3 different houses and they all either fall apart in the coffee maker or the top doesn't puncture causing coffee flakes and hot water to fill the cup. Wasted many cups of coffee. Very frustrating. Am i the only one who experienced this issue?

The meat is frozen when you buy it(chicken).I have also had to return spoiled meat. The frozen foods are falling apart and molded. I had also informed to different managers.

Please bring back the McDaniels iced mocha coffee! I've tried other similar products and none of them compare to the quality and taste. Your iced coffee was an awesome product...we find it difficult to understand why it is no longer available?

I had an assistant manager pulled the merchandise from my hands that I intended to purchase, and was escorted out of the store by it's security personnel. Her action was a retaliation, towards me, for volunteering to pay for another customer purchases, who was short on cash to complete their purchase.

On 4/17/2023 I shopped at the store. Number #8034. I have reported the parking lot has huge pot holes and that most of the lights for the parking lot do not work. It makes for a very unsafe shopping experience. I have spoken to the Manger and they don't have the authority to fix anything.
