Raley's,

5159 Fair Oaks Blvd, Carmichael, CA 95608, United States

"I visited the store on a Tuesday, about 9pm, to redeem 900 CRV aluminum cans and plastic bottles. I had called before arriving to confirm the policy and was surprised that they follow Calrecycles posted CA state laws to redeem all CRV during all business hours; unlike many in-store retailers nearby. The wait was under 5 mins. The staff was friendly and treated me respectfully. Other experiences redeeming CRV in-store are unpleasant and stressful, often leaving me feeling like my business there is unwanted and burdening. I really liked the relaxed atmosphere of the customers in self checkout and the lack of congestion in the parking lot unloading my CRV. The area is safe and also has fast food, liquor store, and gas station right there. I highly recommend this Raleys for all services offered."

"Can you say charcuterie?? This Raley's is just up the Boulevard from my RE/MAX Sierra Oaks office, aka HQ. Aside from Nugget Market in El Dorado Hills which I frequent for needs when I'm closer to that area, this Raley's location is the be all end all for handling specialty items specific to my personal cravings in my own home, preparing for social gatherings, dinner parties, or even the ladies brunches and game nights I'm known for. The selection of specialty cheeses exceeds Whole Foods and Trader Joe's ten times over, and I find unexpected goodies to add to my charcuterie spreads on a regular basis. The "Cellar" is a full-bodied experience with a fabulous wine selection that also comes at a surprise for a quaint upscale neighborhood grocer. It's a huge time saver to be able to make one stop, maybe two, for everything I need. This particular store isn't as big as some sister stores I've been to, and that's ok. It's clean, thoughtfully planned, well laid out, and makes shopping actually faster. I'd have to admit, although they have produce and floral departments, it's not where they excel. The meat and seafood department is great and well staffed with friendly people. There's a made to order deli sandwich counter, pre-made meals available, quick bites to grab, a Pete's Coffee shop inside with a nice open seating area. I generally prefer a grocery store deli counter sandwich to a chain sandwich shop while I'm on the run between clients, so this is an appreciated ammenity. Additionally, as I discussed in my review for the grocer further up the FOB, I've been using the store specific apps to explore digital "couponing" and if it really makes a difference in your bottom line. This is in the spirit of being a Mother of sons and teaching my own sons how to navigate inflation, save, invest, and plan for setting aside money for a down payment especially in our current economic climate. This was my second time using the app. The first time, I think I did better with savings. My cart had a lot of cheese and meat that weren't on sale. Despite that, my total reduced from $126.04 to $84.02. Exactly 33.33% off. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! #TheInappropriateRealtor"

"I should have read the reviews about the deli I just got a Dagwood sandwich from raley's it's one of the worst sandwiches I've ever gotten I have one piece of ham one piece of roast beef and all my turkey was on one half of my 8 inch sandwich worst sandwich I have ever gotten from this location ."

"Peet's coffee and pastries. Very tasty treats. Plus easy to ask for/ get help. Always clean. The clerks are great."

"NEWLY REMODELED FRONT OF STORE. Looks amazing. Great job. Cleanest Raley's I've been to. Very unique design inside and out. Employees helpful and nice. Mailbox drop out front.
