J's is a discount store offering rock bottom prices on a wide variety of goods. The store is clean and organized, though it is outdated with no fancy extras and narrow aisles. Customers can find amazing deals on produce, with special events three days a week just after lunch where caution tape goes up and crowds line up for items like pears for .25 cents, lettuce for .50, and seedless watermelon for $1.99. All bread, including Hawaiian bread, bagels, and English muffins, is $1. Canned goods vary from 50 to 75 cents, and steaks and hams range from $1 to $6 or $8 per pound. New trucks arrive daily, making it worth visiting frequently. The atmosphere is interesting but can be intense. Many shoppers, described as extremely rude and inconsiderate, do not say "excuse me" and will try to muscle others out of the way. The employees are often not friendly, with some being rude, though they could be having a bad day. Service is sometimes slow. Shoppers must bag their own groceries, though there are plenty of free boxes and bags and plenty of parking. It is recommended to check expiration dates on items, but a cart can be filled for under $130. The store is considered a goldmine for those who know the right times to go, offering a good alternative to full-price supermarkets. The prepared food, like chicken and sandwiches, is good and enjoyable, though sometimes over-seasoned. Sides like jalapeño poppers are fantastic, but fries are too salty. Overall, it provides an experience with interesting deals and an interesting atmosphere.
You can find good prices on canned and dry goods just keep an eye on expiration dates but it's definitely nice to leave the store with a completely full cart for under $130.

5 ⭐ if they stock more cashier's, This place is a goldmine if you know the right times to go. They have good stuff. Just check the dates on things and you'll be alright. I prefer going here instead of relying soley on full price groceries at major supermarkets.
