Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Think of a smaller style Costco with less flash and slightly lesser quality. It’s not everywhere in the US, but they have a great selection and you can find some pretty damn good grocery deals there
  • I use Winco for my stainless, they aren't fancy, but they are built to last and they have a nice thick bottom for a more consistent heat.
  • Usually, if you spend $50 at Winco, you get a free turkey up to 15 pounds.
  • I live in a town that has a Winco, and I checked prices on all of the staples in my diet, and I found that nearly everything is cheaper at Winco.
  • If you are near a Winco their bulk items are usually a very good deal and you can buy them in their original packaging if you want the large quantity

Cons

  • I think it used to be cheaper but has since gone up in price. Pre COVID I could get flour pretty cheap in bulk but I think bag flour is about the same now. I have found their bulk spices to be cheaper than the bottles, especially for som...
  • I was surprised that the price of the items I purchased was higher per pound than WHOLE FOODS!!
  • For a long time I would just grab whatever lunch meat I could find at places like Safeway, Albertsons, and Winco.

If you have a Winco near you, their meat is not seeing the same increases as other grocery stores.

Love WinCo! That was our primary grocery store before we moved out of Nevada.

I always compare bulk to the regular bags and to Walmart (easy to compare online) and winco bulk is consistently cheaper than others. I don't have whole foods particularly close (an hour away) but I just looked it up. Winco popcorn kernals are $0.88/lb and the whole foods ones are $3.00/lb.

My spices are far cheaper there, the only bulk spices I buy elsewhere are specific curry spices and curry ingredients.
