I tend not to buy bulk stuff. Winco is the exception. Their stuff sells
fast. My mom used to put bulk popcorn and dried beans in my Christmas
stocking. I kept begging her not to buy that stuff because the store she
bought it from (no longer there) sold old goods. I suspected that the
popcorn was the source of those weevils I got in my cupboard some years
back. This was confirmed from reading online reviews not long before the
store closed.
I also dislike buying produce that doesn't last long. This seems to be
common with what I buy from Whole Foods and sometimes Winco, but Trader Joes
is the worst with their stuff sometimes being rotten when I buy it. Most of
what they sell is sealed in tight plastic so it feels firm to the touch.
Then you open it and it's bad. Also saw a problem when the newest to this
area Costco first opened. We were there the first day. I had gone to buy
produce and left with none. I think in that case, they put it out and it had
been sitting there for many days before the store opened.
I don't know about this location. When it was Safeway, it was never busy, no
matter when I went in there. It was also one of their smaller stores. And
it's not very far from Central Market which seems to be similar. But...
Central Market has been disappointing me. For some reason, they just keep
cutting back on the number of items they sell. The produce and meat are
still good, but it seems when I go for other things, they flat out quit
selling them.
