Goodwin’s is a terrific market if you don’t feel like driving dth (down the hill) or up to Arrowhead. Their items are about 20% higher than regular markets, but I know they have the overhead of being a market on the mountain. Selection is okay. The meat department? GAK! I can’t bring myself to buy meat there unless it’s packaged from a vendor, such as Farmer John or Swift’s. I’ve only lived here 2 years but discovered the BEST in meats is Johnny’s Market on Waters Drive across from the VOE Post Office. They sell only choice meats and their product has Choice from the markets, Sam’s Club OR Costco beat hands down. Johnny’s also frequently has awesome sales on their meats. For example, Choice Porterhouse Steak for $4.99lb??? They also had Jumbo Black Tiger Shrimp this last summer for $7.99lb that was just to die for. Check them out; you can’t beat Johnny’s meat!

I love Goodwin’s as it is clean with great diverse selection of items. It’s important to remember that it cost additional to transport items to the local area than SB. What a blessing to leave in such a beautiful mountain area.

And if Goodwins wasn’t there, you would all be complaining that there was no grocery store in Crestline. How horrible it would be to have to drive all the way to Lake Arrowhead or even worse “down the hill” to San Bernardino. The only way Crestline businesses can survive and get better is if they are supported by local residents. We are “weekenders,” so our opinion probably won’t count for much, but we are constantly amazed at the selection and quality available at Goodwins. Our home is in a very small town, and we would LOVE to have Goodwins in our community as our own local grocery!!

That is a good way to look at it, Crest Forest Dweller. I have to agree. Awesome for things that are needed, with good prices for a general store. But stocking up in Stater Bros in Arrowhead or down in San B is the way to get fresh food at the best savings.

Goodwins is a good place for staples when you need to pick up a couple of items. Unfortunately, the “stench” from the meat department is very unappealing to purchase any form of meat there, especially with all of the “repackaged” chicken. Stater Bros in Lake Arrowhead is the best grocery store on the mountain their meat department is superb, their bread/bakery department is vast, and their produce is often competitively priced. As a Crestline resident I treat Goodwins as a general store, primarily out of convenience.

[…] we go to town, we also swing by Ace Hardware, Goodwin’s Groceries and drop off donations to the thrift store in Top Town. So it’s easiest to make a bunch of […]

Okay, yes, my field trip to State Brothers in Lake Arrowhead Village (upper village) proved fruitful. The prices ARE cheaper, and there is a better selection. Also, it’s cleaner.

I am not saying it’s cheap like CostCo or anything. But a few more bucks can be saved here than Goodwins, if you are already heading into Arrowhead.

I totally am with you on this - it’s cold in there! And unit prices are important - I wonder why they don’t have them?

I have heard the food prices and selection is better at Stater Brothers in Arrowhead. I think I will check that out for my next food shopping excursion.
