A basic necessity of any town. Nevada county boasts a Co-op and a variety of other mainstream Grocers.

- Raley's: Grocery Stores with full deli, sushi chef, Chinese food, Peet's Coffee, and Pharmacy. Closes at 10.

Brunswick Basin
- Safeway: Brunswick Basin. One of the newest grocery stores, it replaced Ralph's in 2006. It offers a sushi chef, deli, soup bar, Starbucks, and free wi-fi. According to my dad, it also has a really good wine selection.
- Save-Mart: Site of the former Albertson's in Brunswick Basin. It offers very good deals and is a clean grocery store.
- Grocery Outlet: Discount grocery store in Brunswick Basin. Sometimes things might be close to expiration but most of the items they offer are brand-name at amazing prices. If you're a starving college student or poor, this is a a great location.
