My wife and I have had to really tighten our budget and weve been trying different grocery stores to find quality for the best value. Weve been everywhere from Nugget Market (good quality, big selection, very expensive) to Grocery Outlet (medium quality, meager selection, cheap). We decided to try Food Source in Oak Park and we were pleasantly surprised. The store is bright, airy and clean. The floors shine, the shelves are well stocked with a very good selection. They have a large and varied produce section. They carry most of the major brands. We were pleased to find that Sunnyside Farms is their "in-house" generic brand offering because SF generally is of really good quality and is a great alternative to the major brands (both Raleys/Bel Air and Save Mart also carry SF). Food Source is a no muss-no fuss store, so be prepared to bag your own groceries, but that doesnt mean they dont have plenty of friendly staff on hand to help with questions. At the end of the shopping trip, our receipt was well worth the venture from West Sac to Oak Park and weve been there several times since. **No, neither one of us works there or has family or knows anyone affiliated with Food Source. Were just a family living on one income right now looking for the best way to stretch our dollar.**

Very inexpensive grocer, with lots of great produce. Most of the stuff is literally the same as any other grocery chain in town, so its great to spend a little less money for it. The customer service has always been pretty good, too! The meat isnt always the freshest though; unless youre getting whole chickens, chuck roast or pork shoulder, Id recommend going somewhere else. I used to see a lot of panhandlers in the parking lot, but I think theyve cleaned it up a lot. And definitely dont go here if youre looking for a hard-to-find ingredient: hey usually dont have bok choy, they never have shitake mushrooms, and so on.

Great spot for affordable foodstuffs. Cheaper than usual catfood. Staples. Decent frozen aisle. I see a lot of older people here, which usually means to me that youre gonna save money because these people have been around the block and know where to go to save.

Good and cheap grocery store, like a mix between WinCo, Safeway, and Costco. Has everything I need at great prices. Pretty clean interior. Good customer service. I have been satisfied with buying my groceries and amenities most of the times I have been here.

The prices are low. They dont have high quality produce, and the ice cream has often obviously melted and re-frozen. The staff are not unfriendly. Youll usually get panhandled on the way in and/or out. If price is your main concern, this place is alright.

Every one wants a deal. This is the place to get one. I received a welcome packet to the neighborhood with coupons for free food which Ill take advantage of. In general they have good deals on food. The store is clean, and good customer service

A great variety of food and excellent produce. I have to warn you that there are several people in the parking lot that will hit you up for money. Its sad to live in America and see people in need like that. It breaks my heart.

The visit and the shopping at food source is really helpful, everything was convenient. I found everything I needed, and Ill come again in the near future. I shop there almost every other week, so thats how much, I like it thank you.

Good and bad. Maybe not the best area to go into. Prices are incredibly low. Not much as far as selection. The roast chicken is dryyyyyy. Bakery isnt the best. Produce is cheap and good enough. The checkout clerks are very nice

Lets be honest, Food Source is not competing with Raleys/Bel Air. This is a deep discount grocer. Do not expect any frills or great produce, but you can get the basics here for a good price and a better experience than Wal-Mart.

Good god. Food source has a problem with under staffing this location. Expect 10 to 15 people per line anytime you go. Out of the 12 cash registers there, they usually only have 2 to 3 that are operational. Its a mess.

Affordable prices, good selection, and there are usually nice people at the check out. Theres no membership or rewards card, so no special discounts. Overall, its a good place to shop for groceries.

This store has great buys as well as a good variety. They are sometimes crowded but thats what happens at a great place. Most of the staff is nice and helpful. Store is usually pretty clean.

Great deals on grocery items; they carry almost everything you need. However, I have to go to Safeway to buy specialty cheeses and breads. But I save a lot of money shopping here first!

Big store, plenty of parking, wide isles. The prices are ok but I have seen better at other stores. Also their selection of products is not as extensive as I thought it would be.

Cheap, decent selection. Theres hardly ever enough registers open though. Which means lines are a pain when theres a ton of people. And slightly annoying when its a regular day.

Didnt have the advertised product (which was the whole purpose of the trip) and no longer offer rain checks. Was forced to give a star, but wouldnt have if I had that option.

Helpful staff. Fairly clean store. Produce stays stocked. Has a coin machine, SAFE Credit Union ATM, and a Red Box movie machine in a side area thats near the registers.

Good place to shop in the area. They always have good prices. I prefer more variety than what they offer, and have had to go further for ingredients before, though.

When they get busy, they always open up a register! I have never had an issue with an employee being rude or anything. Very good customer service here.

Everything here is very inexpensive but may lack in quality however it is not noticeable and is well worth the price.
