Update: I'm changing my rating from 2 stars to 5 stars. Thankfully, you no longer have to pay to use a grocery cart, but you do still bag your own groceries, which I'm okay with. I don't see the store owners anymore when I go there. The staff who actually work there are cordial enough, which is also okay because I don't go in to make friends anyway. When I'm spending my money and supporting a business, it's just common courtesy for them to at least be pleasant, and the personnel that I've interacted with recently are . The quality of the meats had improved the last time I was in there also. I was pleasantly surprised by the prices of some of the meats. If you look around, you can find some good bargains on meats, though you might have to cut off some of the fat on the pork. I like to cook my meats with the fat on for more umami flavor and cut it off just before eating it. But if you like less fat, you can get the higher price per pound variety of meat, which is also available. I was also pleasantly surprised to see the variety of herbs, peppers, and fruits. And they looked as good as those in some of the more high-end grocery stores. Overall, I was very satisfied with my shopping experience this time.------Original: You have to bag your own groceries and you have to pay to use a grocery cart. The meats are not always the freshest, very few brand name merchandise, and the prices aren't any better than the large supermarkets. The owners are not friendly either. In fact, they don't even acknowledge your presence in their store. Not once have they even said hello, thank you , or have a good day--not even during check out. They won't even look at you when you're standing right in front of them as they scan your groceries! When you say "Thank you," don't expect a reply even then. I've scaled down to using the store occasionally for the convenience of it being located on my way home. I now do the bulk of my shopping elsewhere.

Cashiers are one of the most friendliest and welcoming. This save alot is one of the best kept one I've seen.

I tried to give them a shot but shame on me.. So many products are expired. There's a good amount meat/pork/and chicken have spoiled on the shelf but yet they still sell it and act like it's nothing to them... Your steak, hams, sausage/bacon(with nitrates), pork shouldn't be brown. That means it has oxidated, and spoiled. Not only the meat, but dairy too. It's against health code. I will never return here. I suggest you do the same.Your better off just making the trip somewhere else.. please don't normalize spoiled food.

Great little food store. The only issue I have is I feel it's far too cold inside so don't forget a sweater..

I really don't like how they make us bag them I've seen so many older people need the help while the cashier just carries about her day and tells the older people" well go get a buggy so I can put these here in the cart then you take it over there and fill the bags yourself. For real what are they getting paid for?

This store is not fancy or the cheapest in a 20 mile radius but it is clean and reasonable. It fills the need nicely.

Not like a full size Publix, but a reasonably large grocery store with good prices and regularly excellent sales. I prefer to shop here when I'm able to just go to Archer rather than get bogged down in Gainesville's traffic and crowds.

Great prices and good selection. Got t-bone steaks for $4.99 a pound and bacon for $3.49 (very fatty, but ate the other night and delicious). Fruits and vegetables also nicely priced (vine ripened tomatoes for $.88 a pound!).

Sav-A-Lot can be a gem. Great prices and quality on spices, canned goods, snack foods, dairy, and some meats. Fruits/Veg are touch-and-go, short shelf life and not the best quality on most items. "Bakery" is all low-quality stuff. No selection on coffee. Beer and soda prices are high. Chicken and pork offerings are a great value, not so hot on beef, which can be cheap, but must come from low-grade animals. You can get a jug of pig feet in that red liquid, so there's that nightmare fuel. They do have a lot of national brands repackaged for significantly lower prices, which is nice when you find it. The folks there are friendly and knowledgeable,. The clearance rack always has something weird to try.

Shopping ? is an experience here...lots of Spanish selections in fruits and veggies as well as canned goods. Great selections in meat dept. This is a " no frills" grocery store with limited staff. Prices are lower than the traditional food stores but worth a visit if you have a budget issue.

The customer service In this place has gone downhill. Maybe if the owners paid their cashiers more they may come with a personality and actually say hi when a customer walks up on a better note the store is cleaner than it used to be.
