Editor's Review

Grocery Outlet in Portland is a delightful blend of charm and unpredictability that keeps locals coming back for more. This family-owned gem, in business since 1992, is known for its ever-changing inventory and incredible closeout deals. As one enthusiastic shopper, Peter McLean, put it, "You waltzed into my life like a quirky, slightly unpredictable, but oh-so-charming friend." Each visit feels like a treasure hunt, with organic produce and unique finds at prices that often beat larger chain stores.

Customers consistently praise the friendly staff who create a welcoming atmosphere. As Sean noted, "Love the employees here. Never had a bad interaction and they are all super friendly." However, it’s not all perfect. Some shoppers, like Steve Carder, expressed frustration over the store’s policy of charging for bags when using SNAP benefits, reflecting a downside for low-income customers. Overall, Grocery Outlet shines as a fun and budget-friendly shopping experience, perfect for adventurous eaters and those looking to snag a deal.

Best for: Budget-conscious shoppers looking for organic and unique grocery items.

Staff is fantastic. Deals are pretty good. But the only grocery store in the city that charges for a bag when you use SNAP benefits.

Cheap imperfect items near the expiration date. The Store is organized and clean, and the workers there seem chill. The comparisons to other stores prices is a bit outlandish. This store is near the corner of NE 122nd & NE Division St. of Portland...
