I wonder what “select” wines means in this case. In the app, the wines that are pictured in their ad for the sale are mostly the usual crap that GO sells year-round - 19 Crimes, Yali, and so forth. Hope whatever is on sale is better than those.
Yeah the latest email seems to say it is only those wines - oh well.
Here’s the in-app coupon and terms:
What is the point of marketing a “secret” sale to customers who like you enough to download your app, and then giving them deals only on this junk? I have to think that these particular wines were selected purely out of some deal GO has with their distributor. Was going to go out of my way today to check out the Geary store’s selection, but scrapping that plan now.
Between this and the latest version of the app being a buggy hot mess (it took 5 minutes just to be able to sign into the thing this morning), GO is not looking like the most competently run operation right now.
Thanks, you saved us a trip!
Food is expensive, but not at California’s ‘extreme discount’ grocery store
Shopping here is a cheap, delirious thrill. It’s worth it

Gross Out lol.
GO Burien finds du jour
Carr Valley Mobay cheese $10.99/lb, looked like smaller (< 1/3 lb) cuts only. A favorite cheese on the TJ thread, IIRC.
Blue Bike granola, 20 oz ‘value size’ $5.99
Dot’s chicharrones $1.99/4 oz. Pork rinds with their signature pretzel seasoning blend.
Nature Valley white cheddar nut crunch bars $0.99/box. They’ve had other varieties of savory bars; these aren’t very cheesey but whatever, still cheap snacks.
How very Santa Cruz.
I bought some Pinwheels from Oakland GO, which made me wonder, how are they different from Mallomars since both are made by Nabisco. Here’s the answer from Youtube.
At the Visitacion Valley / Bayshore Blvd location in San Francisco.
Not a big fan of canned boba drinks myself–I always find that the boba have gone super-mushy.
Man, I ALWAYS seem to miss the Fly By Jing. I really want to try them, but they’re SO pricey at regular retail…
I picked up their sichuan gold chili oil on a whim and I love it. Strong ginger, peppercorn, and spice flavors, only need a few drops. Keep an eye out!
San Francisco - Geary Blvd location:
Note: the 2019 bottling of the Reichwage Twin Hills Pinot Noir is $55 on the winery website.
Recently at Oakland Grocery Outlet. All prices are before any app or 10% Tuesday senior over 55 discount.
My planned lunch for today will be a sandwich on low carb pita with sliced Spanish chorizo, sharp white cheddar slices, topped with hot soybean paste and lemonaise. Dessert will be frozen organic strawberries with roasted macadamias covered in organic coconut milk.
$2.99/9.8 oz - Ning Chi Hot Soybean Paste, from Taipei City, Taiwan. Numbingly spicy.
Several varieties are available.
$1.79/12 oz. - The Ojai Cook Lemonaise, firmer and denser than regular mayonnaise with a lemony-mustard taste and good ingredients. My second bottle and need to spread less than regular mayonnaise.
$2.99/3.5 oz. - Palacios Sliced Mild Chorizo, no added preservatives, nitrates, nitrites or msg. Made in Spain and sliced in the US, marinated in a paprika mix.
$3.99/14 oz. - Kraft Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Yellow Cheddar and Sharp White Cheddar, 24 cuts of each.
$5.99/15 oz. - Imperial Nuts Roasted Macadamia Nuts salted, great price for almost a pound of macadamias with satisfactory taste considering they are sourced from various countries and roasted in indeterminate oils.
$2.99/24 oz. - 505 Green Chile Kick 'N Chk 'N Sauce, with Hatch Valley flame roasted green chile, medium heat. I can use it on anything.
$2.49/10 oz./5 pita - Middle East Baking Carb Watch Whole Wheat Pita Bread, chewy, low carb with only 3 net carbs for half a pita, from Middle East/Solf’s Baking in Burlingame CA.
Time for me to go back…
