Best Bargains Inc.

I really wanted to like this place and had high hopes. In fact, I turned the car around as it caught my eye.This store is really big and it has a lot of options whether it be beer, wine, veggies, meats, cheeses, canned foods, etc. I was looking for cheese and found a HUGE bag of string cheese. It was $26 and packed! Unfortunately, I went to look at the date and it said 12/11/23. Even if it was packed on that date, fresh string cheese only lasts in bags like that (it wasn't vaccum sealed) for about 2 weeks. I visited the store on 1/5/24. This was definitely expired as that is 25 days after the date on the cheese. After that, I was concerned about the rest of the products on the shelves. I understand the prices are a little bit cheaper, but that is only because it is expired. I don't like taking chances with consuming expired meat or dairy, so this place is just not for me.

Love this place!! Love the great prices, love the kind and consistent staff, love the authenticity in the way they promote their brand!!

Our weekly bargain hunt. Fantastic prices. Food is restaurant quality. They also have a customer rewards program.

We never leave without buying something. I have shopped at both the Burlington and New Munster store. The staff at both are helpful, friendly, concerned about their customers. The prices are so unbelievably low, and I can keep my freezer stocked with an amazing variety of food. Definitely my place to go to get what my family likes. Both stores are clean, and the aisles are wide enough to easily get around. So glad I found them.

Lots of locals love this place which is how we found out about this place. In a pinch I've purchased some non perishable items from here and that's pretty much it. On a recent visit, I randomly checked a few items and they were all way past expiration. If they sell expired items like this as normal practice, I can only imagine how they handle their meat and deli items. I also cannot trust that the expired frozen items were frozen before the expiration date. I would rather head a little further to Kenosha to shop.

While there's a few things to stay away from here, there's also a LOT of gems in this place. Their frozen apps are really good and they have a huge selection. I got the frozen mac and cheese bites which were great in the air fryer at home. They had a lot more too when I walked through the aisles I just didn't have a ton of freezer space or cash on me. They are cash only, or they were when I went in right before the pandemic.One of my friends swears by some of their seafood, their lobster tails in particular. It looked like they had other good meat, too.Also if you need to stock up your kitchen they have plenty of pots, pans, and a huge section of spices.If anything that looks like it should have an expiration date - check it first before buying. Some of the stuff is close to expiring or it just expired, or with a few of the frozen things I saw it's way past expired. It's fine if it was frozen before it went bad but I wasn't sure so I skipped it. Also the candy at the register - check the expiration date there too.

Been going to Best Bargains for years. Was a single mom and I could buy good products for my kids when I definitely was on a fixed income. The employees there are always soooo nice and helpful, they always acknowledge me when I am there. Nick is my favorite, cute smile, always helpful and very friendly! I love your store, I drive from McHenry Illinois 3 or 4 times a month. Great deals and lots of good sales.

Hello Best Bargains, Inc. Lovers and Shoppers. Today is not really Employee Appreciation Day. But I thought I would Share this with you. Today I went to Best Bargains, Inc. New Munster WI. Every time I walk in there I feel like Family. Everyone is always so nice and friendly.(NOT LIKE SOME OF THE CHAIN STORES). I want a few cases of Different thing that they had on sale. They had to run in the back to get them for me. But within two minutes they were bringing them out. They had everything I wanted.And they always have GREAT Prices. But this Stroy is Really about one Person. His Name is Mike. And he works in the Deli. (( BIG HIGH FIVE TO MIKE )). I am pretty sure Mike has not been with Best Bargains, Inc. to long. But his is a GREAT Asset to the Deli. I was look at the Cheeses. And wanted to get a Certain kind Sliced. But Mike took me that it falls apart if they try to slice it. I was very happy he took me that. So I went with another kind. As I was standing there he came over with some other kind of Cheese for me to sample. Then he ask If I needed anything else. I said yes I got some GEART Lunch meats. After he got that for me, he asked if I would like some kind of salad to go with what I had. (( GREAT UPSELL )). Most people nowadays only find bad things to say about workers. That why I am saying Today is Mike in the Deli Appreciation Day. Thanks MIKE..... Doug, Dawn,Tom, Mysti and Crew. You have a Great Employee there..... Thanks Everyone..... Hope Doug, Dawn, and Crew see this... Thanks...

It may be expired by 5 years but it still taste good! What's important.. your health or financial state?

Have visited many times as I live in the area. I have found many good deals here. Some products are going out of date and need to be used quickly.Their fresh meat department offers sales on steaks and chops better than the local groceries here. We have gotten great deals on frozen salmon also. I am amazed at the different products they receive in and you need to check them out frequently. They also offer warehouse and flash salesIf you buy in quantity.
