text: Smart Final is a bit of an odd one It is part normal grocery store part bulk club store and part restaurant supply store nnNow I am not a huge fan of Costco or similar club stores the prospect of having to pay a fee to shop somewhere annoys me on principle Plus every time I go I realize they simply do not carry what I like Oooh great price on toothpaste if I want to get a different kind than I normally get or Oooh sweet they have a great price on soap just not the scent I like I do not know I can either load up a cart with shit I do not actually want because it is cheap or I can pay more to get exactly what I want nnSmart Final does have bulk items but the prices are only marginally better than grocery store on most stuff They do have some great deals but do not expect to come here to save money What they do offer is great quality stuff in mass quantities They carry restaurantquality foods I love the coffee they sell and some of their readytocook stuff is fantastic like Shrimp Scampi or raviolis plus it is a great place to pick up household supplies nnIf you are like me and you do not like to go shopping more than once a month and you also cannot stand the idea of paying a membership fee to shop somewhere this place is great If you run a little restaurant or shop this place is perfect Also great for if you are planning on catering your own party Snacks pasta fruit bread pie gum coffee detergent tp serving trays etc nnAbout that if you are having a bunch of people over for a dinner party or a reception or something but you do not want to hire caterers you can buy everything you need here for any style or taste nnThe wine selection is not that good the prices are not going to blow your mind you do sign up for a card though they do not spam you with junk mail and they do lack in a few areas but this place is worth checking out sometime and definitely worth checking out if you are hosting a partynnThis place is a and a half for me but I am going to go ahead and give it a since we cannot do half points
