I’ve never heard him comment on Smart & Final, since it’s a west coast chain. They just put one of their bigger stores in a center near my house and I was disappointed because rumor was that Trader Joes was looking at it too. Smart and Final is a little cheaper than the Ralphs grocery in the same center, but quite a bit more than the super Walmart nearby. It sells many items in bulk, but I don’t see a discount for the volume. In fact, the bulk price is often more than the Walmart small quantity price. It also has a spartan, bare look and feel about it. I have 6 grocery choices within a mile. I’d rank them from best to worst (for value): Walmart, Aldi, Albertsons, Smart & Final, Stater Bros, and Ralphs.
