Dale's Natural Foods - Flint, Michigan

I think I’m going to end up liking the store. They have my laundry soap from ECO,s that I use. But unfortunate they don’t offer the bigger sizes and the bigger sizes can’t be ordered. They also have natural shower bar soap by them and a bunch of other natural laundry soaps in bar form, liquid or laundry sheets for the wash washer I thought that was pretty cool. They even had soap nuts, which I was VERY tempted to buy, but they don’t have them in LARGER quantities and they try to see if they could order them in larger quantities and they said they weren’t unable to. I believe the package they were selling was only 10 nuts which to me it’s like what are you gonna do with that lol . They have lots of different teas and pasta and other natural stuff which is pretty cool lots of different supplements and vitamins. I was able to find some really nice vitamins For my four-year-old daughter. She had tried them. They were the true form that were not gummy form. She honestly freaked out probably with the taste in texture but what can you do with vitamins lol also I got her some liquid DHA . I also got Sal. Suds biodegradable cleaner which was concentrated so you could just measure it and use less. I’m really excited about that product to see if it works cleaning. I’m not liking all the harsh smells all the other chemical stuff in different stores. I hate having to open all the windows just if you wanna clean because of the chemical smells so I’m anxious to see if this works .I also found some natural deodorant, which I have been looking all over the world for I swear I’m not sure how it is yet. I did not try it and I was able to find a glass cleaner bottle, which I was very happy about. I also bought lavender shower soap from the soap works at the store. I’m not sure how it is yet, but it definitely smells like lavender. This may be my new stop to get bar soap ordering online seems a little bit more expensive. The only downfall to me is the store seemed extremely expensive. Some things I wouldn’t even thought would’ve costed that much and if I had found them somewhere else I feel like they would’ve not cost that much. The manager here was very nice and answered whatever question I needed. I took quite some time in here because it was my first time in here. I’m most likely we will be back if I like this shower soap bar that I bought. I also noticed that most of the workers here new regular customers by name which was very nice..

Update : on the THAI deodorant I purchased here does NOT keep from sweating or odor from appearing with daily use it’s very watery it just drips down your under arms. Not sure if it takes a long time of use to work. But it’s not working for me

Update on the dr bronners sal suds cleaner it works great in kitchen grease I’ve used it mixed with water not even two table spoons of the liquid Ina glass bottle sprayer I bought here . I haven’t even used an inch into the full bottle. You need to use next to nothing when I’ve been cleaning the stove top and kitchen counter, even spilled juice from my daughter on the floor. Does not leave streaks or sticky residue or smell. I’ve even used it on glass. Happy with this product. Not sure how it does on bathroom type heavy duty cleaning I have not tried it yet.

UPDATE: on the lavander bar soap I purchased here I love it suds quickly with little use, I’ve used it on my 4 year old daughter doesn’t break her out or make her itchy. And the smell lasts a very long time. I’ll def be back when it runs out.

I used to shop at this place until an off-putting situation took place. I went to buy a specific supplement, and at the register she told me if I get this other brand I'd be entered into a raffle for all the camping gear that was displayed. The set was a cooler, tent, two chairs, and two mugs. I told her I loved the cooler, and she said whoever wins, wins it all, the whole set. I was sold. So I bought that brand, which was more expensive. Then I got the call that I won and was the first name drawn, only to be told they gave the cooler to someone else after they decided to draw another name. I calmly expressed my frustration, as I felt this was unfair and that I was mislead, and I have not been back since. I spent a lot of money there, and sent them a lot of business for clients to make purchases, being a health professional. I was not happy with being told one thing, and it result in something different, and the response be so careless once I expressed this. I spent more because of what I was told. It's the principle. Being misleading is a poor business practice. And yes, I hold all businesses to that standard. We all work too hard for our money to accept that and keep spending with places that treat us as such.

I’ve been here several times over the years. Recently went in and noticed a gluten free product there that I usually get at Kroger for $6.99 (mozzarella sticks) but Dale’s was $4 higher in price. Also noticed Matt’s organic orange juice which I get at Kroger also almost $4 higher at Dale’s ($10 for orange juice). At that point, I walked out. Won’t be walking back in. Groceries are expensive enough price gouging isn’t necessary.

I'm obsessed with this store!!!! Everything is organic/chemical free. I just want to share my recommendation of what I'd like to find there, please: almond malk creamer. I hope that this business will prosper and become a bigger and bigger network with many more clean and organic products.

-1 star bc pricey. Wish this store was bigger. Everything is natural/organic. Carrying products I can usually only find at Whole Foods or Amazon. LOTS of different clean brands.
Small fresh veggie/fruit stand. Couple of freezers. Couple aisles of dry goods. Baby, women's, and men's products. Laundry, cleaning, and dog products. Supplements. Deli market in the back corner. And a special order station in the front corner.

If you need herbs, vitamins, supplements or anything health food related this is a place worth going. The staff is great and knowledgeable, and if they don't have an answer they help you find it. There is usually a few different brands of most things so you should be able to find what you are looking for.

There is a great selection essential oils, soaps, creams and other products of this nature.

The prices are reasonable as these types of items are not cheap to begin with.

The little restaurant in the back has smoothies and healthy food. Definitely not a typical fast food place.

Great variety of gluten free products and natural products!

Nearly exhaustive selection of supplements (they've always had anything I've asked for), with pleasant, knowledgeable employees to assist with questions. First rate recipes for a variety of ready to eat deli foods, with fresh-pressed juice available. Grocery area also has good assortment for its small size. Well-established, quality business.
