Discount Stores in Atlantic City, NJ

“I was so happy to find a Dollar Store on the boardwalk where most things were actually $1 (plus tax). Flip flops were $2 but that’s still ok. They also had shower caps, toothpaste, pretty much anything u might have forgotten to bring to the hotel. I only bought a cpl things so didn’t need to pay for a shopping bag, but even if I did need to pay the 5 or 10 cents, I wouldn’t have minded since they weren’t gouging me on the items I needed.”

“This store is great if you're a local, as AC is a vast food desert and this store probably serves as a supermarket to many people. I'm a local and shop here 2-3 X's/week, for staples primarily.If you're a tourist, covered with oil, it's a great place to buy all your junk food and soda pop.The prices are very reasonable, considering the economy and the fact that this store suffers massive losses from theft.They even have an in-store system that camera-monitors and announces, LOUDLY, that they are watching you and will contact the coppers if you don't put back that candy bar.I have been in this jewel-of-a-dump when cretins have done grab-and-runs and homeless are everywhere around the store.The store is frequently poorly-stocked and the aisles can be a congested mess with boxes all over the place.One major gripe is that the store shuts down, no notice, 1-2/month; sometimes for days. Signs say, "due to cash register problems."The problems are many--they can't stock the store fast enough, so shelves are frequently empty; high employee turnover, which I completely understand. Working in this store, you're putting your life on the line, literally.AC is a crime-ridden mess and this store is mid-mess. I commend anyone who works in this store.I have never had any problem, at all, with any employees in this store and I have shopped there since this store opened ~2 years ago.”

“Everything is still 99, I find my travel needs and no needs here. I Bought black pepper in seasong bottles, can't find in NY. They even have pregnancy test! NA!!”

“This morning I had a managerthat said the cashiers was Beneath her and if none of the cashier didn't show up this morning she was going to close the store with a real nasty attitude. I thought that's what managers and supervisor was for. When you're workers didn't show up you work in their place. Why apply for a job that you think everyone else is beneath you. So ugly and so was her attitude. Such a bad experience early in the morning.”

“One of the best stores in Atlantic City NJ. Great as well if you're celebrating a day at the beach, holidays, movie nights, dates, etc. The prices are fantastic, the staff are fantastic, and the store has a beautiful and very large inventory to choose from. Parking is nearby, the store has proper surveillance, and there's plenty of carts to choose from.”

“It's definitely a 4 star rating with potential to be a 5. Out of the current almost 1,000 reviews, there have been caught liars in the review section. The food groups are all there and fresh within reason, i.e. store stock selection shelf life. They have meats, dairy, fruits, breads, snacks, mixed nuts, cheeses, butter, eggs, cooking oil, etc. etc. etc. That didn't exist in Atlantic City for a long while, and before when it was attempted, it was not without problems.They do indeed clean that store, properly cut the meat, and they do indeed remove items past the expiration dates. There's many great employees there, and no, maybe not all of them that have been hired and then left. The great employees, have successfully done that grocery store job for years. There's always many things in stock to feed a City of 40,000 people+other Atlantic County residents in the rest of the Atlantic County area that do indeed come through and park their vehicles outside the store in the parking lot+plus the countless tourists throughout the year. Savalot has a better selection than any other grocery store in Atlantic City, NJ currently in 2023, and it's also been like that for years. There's disgusting generic convenience stores nearby in the rest of the City, and it's gross and sad. Savalot is definitely not to blame. You're lucky if you get a legitimate Spanish grocery market anywhere else in the City with any and I mean any other selection...and then you're paying their prices all the same. Only other options in the City is Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Walgreens, Dollar General, 7-11, The Gulf, and in the City outside of the Casinos there's the Atlantic City Restaurants. Otherwise, you have to leave the City to surrounding areas just to go to other grocery stores. Not to mention Acme is up for debate. They're more expensive, and there's completely different items, and there's two nearby. ShopRite will never come to Atlantic City NJ. It's cancelled. You have to go outside of the City. They have their own prices and selections themselves. I keep it real at any given time, and I definitely was looking out for everyone's well being.P.S. learn about citywide cleaning, and enzymatic cleaner.”
