15 Wallet-Friendly Deals at Grocery Outlet Right Now

Just like a clothing outlet might have an overrun of t-shirts or a past-season design marked down to 50% off, Grocery Outlet operates in the same way. 

When inventory doesn’t sell to grocery stores the way a manufacturer expected, the extra goes to Grocery Outlet. When too much is made, Grocery Outlet gets the surplus.

All of these “oops, we have too much!” scenarios lead to prices that can help you keep more money in your wallet. If you’re planning a trip to Grocery Outlet, here are 15 deals to keep an eye on.

Two pounds of summer mandarins for $2.99? That’s a juicy deal. These are the perfect snack-size fruit to drop in a lunchbox or grab when that 3 PM hunger pang hits, and they taste even better when they’re marked down to this price.

It’s time for taco night! For only 69 cents, you can grab a bunch of cilantro, which will be an aromatic addition to tacos, guacamole, or any other Mexican dish you feel like whipping up throughout the week.

Milk is often one of the first items to bear the brunt of price increases at the grocery store, so when you find a half gallon of organic whole milk for just $3.49, you’ve found a deal. You can always pick up a few and freeze the extra.

Make it a grilled cheese night when you snag a full pound of Swiss cheese for just $6.89. This cheesy block is also great for snacking, adding to a cheese board, or grating into eggs or a quiche.

The big container of Chobani is great to keep on hand in the fridge. You can use it in smoothies and yogurt parfaits, as a sour cream alternative, or even when you’re craving a sweet treat. Plus, the entire 32-oz tub is just $6.89, so it’s a no-brainer.

Califia Farms is a favorite brand of those who prefer to drink non-dairy milk, but it’s often one of the more expensive brands at the grocery store. Luckily, Grocery Outlet has a 48-oz jug of the brand Almondmilk from Califia Farms for $3.99.

Grocery Outlet will often have items that are out of season but haven’t expired, so if you find yourself craving Pumpkin Spice in May, this is your place. Grab this Elmhurst Pumpkin Spice Oat Creamer for only $2.29.

If you like keeping ginger ale around the house in case someone has an upset stomach, then pick up a 12-pack of Canada Dry ginger ale cans for $7.39. These will keep in your pantry, and you’ll never have to make a last-minute run to the store again.

For $3.99 a pound, you can get a family-size package of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. If you have a big family, go ahead and cook the whole package. Or, if you only have a few mouths to feed, make some and save the rest in the freezer.

Spotting a favorite brand at Grocery Outlet is always a thrill, especially when it’s something as delicious as Kettle Chips. You can get a 13-oz. bag of these chips for just $2.89.

Always have pizza night at the ready with a Red Baron frozen pizza in the freezer. You can pick one up for only $5.69 at Grocery Outlet — or pick up a few. You can never have too many pop-them-in-the-oven-and-you’re-done meals around.

If you want an easy way to make your morning smoothies, grab a bag of this berry banana blend to have on hand in the freezer. At just $1.19 for a 10 oz. bag, buying fresh could never even come close to beating this price.

The way Kraft American Cheese melts is a nostalgic memory for so many, but it’s always shocking how much these orange slices cost when you spot them at the supermarket. Fortunately, you can get a pound — 24 slices — for $5.19 at Grocery Outlet.

Crispy fried onions are always delicious, whether you’re making a green bean casserole or topping your salad with a little extra crunch. And they’re even better when you can get them for just $1.19.

While these are the everyday prices that are worth keeping an eye on when you’re making your grocery list, there are also weekly deals that will help you plan your shopping trip around the cheapest items available.
