Foodland has been here as long as I can remember, and I do remember when it used to be a decent place to shop for groceries. Now? Not so much. The workers are decent enough, though some of the younger ones have an attitude at times. Theyre not as bad as some other places Ive shopped. Some of them are slow. I once stood at the cigarette counter for 10 minutes, while 3 workers stood at the cash registers doing nothing, waiting for someone to come help me. But most people there are friendly. Foodland is good if you live in Milton and need something quick. Id recommend shopping here ONLY if you have no other place to shop. And make sure you check the expiration dates. I bought a box of cereal yesterday (Oct. 24) that expired the beginning of September. $4 for a box of expired cereal. This has happened way too many times, in fact, nearly every time we buy something here (or start to buy something), its expired by a month or more. A few days past the expiration date is understandable, but more than a week or two is just disgusting and can be dangerous. I went to Foodland last year (2011) and found a can of Okra that had expired in late 2009. So no, even your canned foods are not safe. Check those too. Dairy products are usually not expired, though its still best to check them. Their products are overpriced compared to other stores like Kroger and Walmart. The produce, again only good if you need it quickly, is "acceptable" at best. A lot of the open (not pre-packaged) greens Ive started to buy there have slime on them or are very wilted and rotten looking. The fruits are better looking than the vegetables. Though all of it is overpriced. $1.69 for an avocado and $3 for a small bunch of broccoli? $6 for a small bag of grapefruit? No. Just no. Go an extra mile or two for $.79 cent grapefruits, $.99 avocadoes and $1.40 (bigger) bunches of broccoli at the Halfway Mart. All of the produce is cheaper at the market, and its all better looking and tasting. I think the only thing good that can be said about Foodlands produce is that the green onions are always perfect, even though they are $1 for a small bunch. I always get my green onions there because theyre simply better than any other place Ive gotten them. As for the bakery section, I dont use it. But Ive heard from others that its not bad. Overall, Id say youre better off going to Kroger in Barboursville or Walmart in Hurricane. But if you have to shop at Foodland, check food-safety seals and expiration dates BEFORE you even throw them in your cart.

I really despise this place. The store usually seems dirty and unkept. When it comes to produce, a lot of the options are bruised/about to spoil. There is no reason why softly poking an avocado should cause its interior to spew out. As for meats/poultry, some off the coloring on the options suggest that they are worthy of being thrown away. Instead, its on sale. Overall, the store is outdated and in desperate need of a renovation. Im sure the health department will find several things flawed with it.

Lovely little grocery store. Has some unique grocery items. Above average deli. Home made sides there as well.

Feel like theres a "convenience tax" added to most items in the store. Only shop here on a have-to basis.

Its OK for a quick trip if you are willing to pay a high price for off brand food items.
