Checkers Foods

This is a great discount grocery with bulk goods and generics. They've also got name-brand stuff, which sets them apart from other discount grocers like Aldi where your only option is no-name items. Checkers has decent produce as well as a large butcher section. You're not going to find gourmet or fine dining selections here, but that's okay. The prices are great. Service is good.It's a warehouse atmosphere, I'm okay with that if it helps keep prices down.

mistakes on items on sale with digital coupons would not honor pitiful excuse for management

Although I've always appreciated Checkers, I rarely find myself here. Probably because I have to drive another mile from my house, hardly an inconvenience. So yesterday paid a visit there and was mentally jarred by the fact that I found a favorite sparkling water that's always in the refrigerator and a whopping $1 less per bottle than where I normally obtain it. Ouch. Wasn't even aware it was carried here. Then found a couple more items, made a stop at my usual destination solely to check prices. I've getting gouged for the same products. So, yea, the sort of somewhat underwhelming interior of the store, the bag your own groceries at checkout and no frills display--admit it, we shop with our eyes-- are there for a reason if you can go and save enough to fill up your tank with gas in a week. Actually, who drives anywhere these days? I go around town on the same tank for a month. I digress.Checkers is going to start getting more of my business in the future, for sure. And yes, the produce is miles better than the pricier Dillon's (pretty much the dominant grocer in the city) in both directions.

Checkers is like a much larger local version of Aldi's. This is a good store and it is stocked with goodies. You never quite know what you will find from one visit to the next. Disclaimer: I like this store a great deal but I do not go here regularly. It is just not on my regular route and I hate to go out of my way to grocery shop. On the occasion when I do get to go to Checker's I have enjoyed it very much. There is a good selection of products and the prices are just right. Checkers has a very good produce department which is my main interest. There is a wide selection of fresh produce and it is all cared for very lovingly in the store. They also have a nice organic selection and health food section. There is no lack of products anywhere in the store.The best part about Checkers is that they have Champs chicken. It is so delicious. The deli department here is worth a special trip. Gosh, I am making myself very hungry thinking about that chicken. They have gizzards and livers if that is your thing (not mine, though). You won't find this type of deli anywhere else in town. Again, the prices are good and this seems to be a popular part of the store.Sometimes you have to hunt and find things on your own but it's not really a big deal. Checkers makes it easy to find things if you are in the right department. The one thing I do not like about Checkers is just a personal pet peeve When you enter the store, you have to go to the right through the produce department. You have no other option and, at times, it is an annoyance to me. There have been occasions when I needed just one or two things but was forced to go all the way around through produce just to get to the other side of the store. Again, it is a personal preference of mine.I love the prices, I love the selections and the fresh produce. The staff has always been very nice and helpful. They seem happy and that is a great measure of any establishment.

I love this place. Been shopping here for years. Fresh produce is where it's at. Fantastic prices and a great selection. They usually have local produce as well. I love shopping in the Asian food section. They have the best frozen dumplings here. I must not be the only one that thinks that because they seem to run out fast! Sometimes I have to jump to reach the last bags at the back of the shelf. Shorty life of a dumpling lover. I don't shop the middle of the store much. I love that they're open 24 hours. I can shop late at night when the aisles aren't full of... people.

My husband and I just moved to town and heard this place had good deals. After checking all three, there are better prices at Aldi and HyVee. If you need something rare, this place has more selection but I was definitely disappointed price wise. Their milk is BY FAR the most expensive in town (for example). They market themselves as cheap but when it comes down to it-- there are better options. It was also impossible to get out of here!!! Like woah. I got so turned around and lost.

I'm giving Checkers three stars simply because it doesn't have a very broad selection of meats that aren't treated with antibiotics (not necessarily organic) and organic produce (either fresh or frozen). This could be a simple labeling issue, but I will say that I shop at other places more frequently than I would otherwise because of this issue. However, what they have is at a very affordable price point. And, they are locally owned and support locally produced goods as often as they can. So, there are still a LOT of good reasons to shop here.

Love buying meat at Checkers!However, the store smells musty and old to me. They often have great deals but some things are a bit higher priced than other competitors.

would give less than one star if applicable. Harassing customers over 4 items over the limit for express checkout, and was robbed by store employee after leaving! Purchased all of my items, then was chased down, had an elderly caucasian employe take my octopus out and make a scene, where I told her I paid for my items, and she ran away without seeing any receipt or tag, and was being quite rude over the four ears of corn I thought would be labeled as "one" item, as they are corn, not entirely separate packages.

Loooove this grocery store! It was way bigger than I anticipated and tons of selection with lots of unique ethnic sections as well.
