Customer Reviews
Sarah Jenkins “I recently hosted a large family barbecue and decided to take a chance on a bulk pack of First Street beef brisket and several bags of their frozen shrimp. I was honestly blown away by the quality; the meat was incredibly tender and marbled perfectly, which you don’t always expect from a warehouse brand. My guests kept asking which high-end butcher I went to, and I loved being able to tell them I saved a fortune by shopping at Smart & Final instead.”
Marcus Thorne “As someone who preps meals for the entire week every Sunday, the First Street pantry and dairy sections have become my absolute go-to for consistency. Their Greek yogurt and large cartons of eggs are always fresh, and I’ve found that their artisan-style breads stay soft much longer than the national brands I used to buy. It’s rare to find a private label that manages to nail the texture of baked goods so well while keeping the price point accessible for a student budget.”
Elena Rodriguez “The convenience of the First Street ready-to-cook meals has been a total lifesaver for my family since I started my new job. We tried the seasoned chicken breasts and the frozen vegetable medleys last night, and the flavors were surprisingly vibrant and not overly salty like many other pre-packaged foods. Even when I order through Instacart, the packaging is sturdy and the portions are generous enough to ensure we always have leftovers for lunch the next day.”
