Eat*Drink*Cleveland

A hungry girl's adventures in Cleveland and beyond.

Save-a-Lot is known as a discount grocery store that offers bargain prices and no-frills shopping. They carry fresh produce, meats and dairy, frozen items and a variety of dry goods. Save-a-Lot is known for their low prices but during my trips there, I've been surprised by some of the items I've found. 

I never thought about them as a place to buy shampoo and soap because honestly, I'm really picky about the products I purchase. Recently they added Suave bath and beauty products, Dove soap and Caress body wash to their stores and asked me to check them out as part of the #SaveaLotInsiders program. 

I shopped at the Garfield Heights location which didn't have all the new items but had a good selection. I chose:
Suave and Dove now at Save a Lot
Save even more with brands you love like Suave
*Prices vary by location
Dove is my normal go-to brand of bar soap so I obviously love that. It never dries my skin and the scent is nice but not overwhelming.

My husband was suffering from a dry itchy scalp thanks to the brutally cold winter so the Scalp Solutions was for him. I tried it too - it was surprisingly gentle, I loved the smell and he said it worked great for his itchy scalp so that one is a winner for sure! It was the most expensive of the products I chose but definitely worth it.

We don't have kids but we do have an adorable 2 and 1/2 year old niece that LOVES bath time. But before handing the Suave kids products over, I had to try some of those too. The Surfs Up 2 in 1 was gentle but didn't offer enough conditioning for my dry hair. The Kids Detangler is a leave-in conditioner type product that is perfect for helping get the knots out of messy toddler hair and has a fresh apple scent.


I even tried it on our dog Buffy after her bath - her hair felt really soft and she smelled delicious. The Free & Gentle Body Wash had a milder smell but lathered great and didn't dry my skin. I actually kept this one for myself!


Overall, I was pleased with the products and the prices were really good. The Suave items weren't as moisturizing as some more expensive products but I would recommend them for kids and anybody who is looking for a bargain when it comes to bath and beauty. It's great to have this affordable option at your local Save-A-Lot.
