What clients say about Wise Buys Discount Groceries in Spartanburg (SC)
Wisebuys helps me keep my kiddos happy from snacks to meals to drinks. Buying for a full household is so much easier here than most anywhere these days.
I shop the salvage stores all over the upstate and this is the highest priced one of them all. They have a great selection of frozen items that you can't find elsewhere, but you can't trust the quality of it. Far too many times, I have purchased frozen items only to find that they were rancid or spoiled, obviously having been friozeb that way. I just can't recommend this place.
Clean, organized, friendly staff, very large selection. Cheaper prices on most things than the chain stores. Discount is just not as good as other discount grocery stores. Not far from downtown spartanburg though.
They have so much stuff! I didn't even go over the whole store. I had to stop shopping, because I knew I didn't have room in my freezer. I cart was FULL and I only spent $157!
It old outdated food. They buy truckload for pennies on the dollar because no one else wants it. And it's in one of the most dangerous area in Spartanburg. Steering clear of this place.
It's nice to find a bargain, but remember most of those items are out of date. They will tell you that it won't hurt you, but that is the only reason you are getting a bargain. That's not the problem though. The staff and managers are so condescending and non-cooperative. A cashier named Laura handed me my bags of groceries and said "That's All", so I took her word and left. I came back later when I realize she didn't give me my other bag. I figured she would have saved it for me. They acted as if I was trying to con them and said the next customer most likely got my items and dismissed me as if I was bothering them. So shame on me for taking someone's word. They also won't answer their phone. If they had answered, I called mega times. It could have saved a trip all the way back up there since I found out they didn't want to give me my items I purchased. I'm sure they don't care that they lost a customer today because there will always be another person who wants to buy out of date food. But whatever happened to good customer service? Even just being respectful instead of condescending. I lost $5.53 today, but Wise Buys lost much more than that.
When we visit from out of town, we often make a stop here to buy some items. Right off the bat, the first thing you need to anticipate is an odd selection of goods you don't typically see in other stores, and you absolutely cannot be squeamish about expiration dates. If you can get past those two points, you're on your way to a horn of plenty.
The shelves are always stacked and clean, and everyone is friendly. The area seems safe as far as I can tell, and the prices are definitely good. However, you have to take into account that the price reflects the condition of the item you are getting. For some people, this will be an outstanding discovery, while others would never come back. So, it's either a big win or a big loss, but for me and my wife, it's a huge win.
Super amazing, kind and sweet staff !! I could go on and on about them. I found some of the BEST deals on frozen bulk items, canned foods, and many other items. I'll definitely be a returning customer !
Great selections, good prices. The only negative besides watch your dates (even eggs were expired) was they repack and relabel meats. So you have no idea how long its actually been packaged. Other than beware on those 2 things, its good for some deals. Staff is nice and helpful.
My wife and I just went here first time last week AMAZING!!!
in quality price and selection, definitely check out wize buys your budget and stomach will thank you.
Stopped into Wise Buys, to see what the hype was. Its a decent little discount store. Has a lot of repeative items, and there's not a real good system with their items-as far as flowing and everything being it its own section. (All frozen potatoes here, all seafood here, etc etc.) Some prices were AWESOME! Some were actually at retail pricing. Maybe a few cents cheaper, but not a huge difference. Example, a 12 pk of diet coke was $4.99 at wise buys, you can usually catch them on sale at food lion, ingles, etc. every week. Its a neat store though! Stop by and see for yourself.
I go there for ALL my shopping needs! They have been a Godsend with stocking my home and office with food and products. The Candy Lady there is the top guru for her candy aisle !!. She keeps that section so organized and pristine with amazing bargains that are perfect for my wallet size in today's economy. She will go out of her way to assist anyone with questions about store's products. I'm more partial to the candy though... lol. Great place.
Now this store it's special, it's like playing a game of russian roulette. That's from want, they have in stock to the price. Sometimes you find very good deals and bargains. Do you have the others you don't. This is like going to ollie's but a grocery store version. But I will say it's always a guaranteed, they're gonna have some form of chicken. Now, don't get me wrong .I love the shop there
One of my favorite local discount grocery spots! If I could suggest one thing; it would be amazing if y’all offered seasonal or daily pickup boxes at an even more discounted rate.
Imagine this: you walk in, ask for “this week's box”, and they bring it right out from the back. No shopping list, no decision fatigue just a curated, value-packed bundle ready to go.
You could rotate themes too like “Breakfast Box,” “Family Dinner Box,” or even “BBQ Weekend Box.” It’s fast, convenient, and could help reduce food waste while giving customers even more bang for their buck. That's it, no substitutions, you take it like it is or shop in your own.
Would love to see something like this sometime soon.
I have been here to shop several times. I especially like purchasing the chicken. Our home really likes chicken wings, and we always get a good deal on them. We will be going there on Thursday. So far, I haven't had any issue with any purchases from this store. I have also purchased other frozen products, which I find are less expensive than in other stores. I like the deals with the meat and other frozen products. I haven't purchased anything else, because in my opinion the dry goods and the can goods are priced too high.
Great deals, with great prices. I thought they'd have a ton of out of date items but I was wrong. They have a bunch of what's labeled as restaurant products, like sonic tator tots & mcnuggets but based off taste the tots could be from sonic but the nuggets are definitely not Mcnuggets. The employees are sweet. Ebt is accepted.
Went several times and was like a kid on Christmas the variety is awesome… this last visit I looked at the expiration dates of many of the items. A few months being expired is fine but 2 YEARS! Bacon 4/22 and Turkey sausage 3/23. I worked in FoodService Inspection and this is not food safe to eat. Back to regular retail.
Some items are expired and you can get it for free at local food banks. I feel like groceries a bit overpriced. If an item is expiring this month it should be 1/2 priced.
Posting pictures of store inside and outside. Bathrooms and some product selection!
For a big family this is the place to go,a few things a had to buy to try looked so good and the employees were very polite and helpful.filled half my buggy with 45 bucks?
Great place to SHOP and SAVE money $$$$! I have been shopping here since they opened. This place has grown since then and now offers a huge selection of frozen meats. I'm telling you, you can buy in bulk and SAVE a bundle. They also have many other grocery items to choose from. Now they do sell some items that may be close or even past the best by date marked on the package but these products are STILL GOOD! Since they have opened I have SAVED HUNDREDS of dollars and can buy even MORE! So, stop on in to Wise Buys Discount Groceries and tell them that Brian sent ya! In fact... meet me there RIGHT NOW! Lol... I'm going now to buy some things that I need and take some good photos because you REALLY need to SEE this place to ENJOY IT! Spartanburg's Finest Discount Grocery Store. So much to choose from be... WISE! Shop there TODAY! And just look at the photos... I got ALL THIS for only $23.00! What a Wise Buy!
