Save A Ton

Save A Ton is a family-owned spot in Hinesville that's earned real loyalty over the years, and locals will tell you it runs like one of those old-timey neighborhood stores where the people behind the counter actually know you. Folks have been coming here for years, and the word around Hinesville is simple: they take good care of you.

For smokers, this is a reliable stop. People come in for cigarettes, cigarette tubes, and tobacco, along with tobacco pipes and smoking accessories, and most of the time they find exactly what they came for and are back out the door quick. One longtime regular put it plainly: about 98 percent of the time they've got what you need. Prices are part of the draw too. Ask anyone who shops here and you'll hear the same thing about the store being reasonably priced, especially on tubes and tobacco.

Beyond the tobacco side, this is a full neighborhood store, clean and easy to get in and out of. We've heard the family will go out of their way to track down what you want, whether that's a specific beverage, snack, or lottery ticket, sometimes within a day if it's not already on the shelf. They keep the lottery moving fast and even stock phone chargers that people swear work great and cost next to nothing.

Now, folks are a little split on one thing: the son gets high marks across the board for friendly service, while a few regulars have found the older owner's mood harder to read on a given day. That aside, the overall reputation here is strong, and most people who walk in leave happy. If you're after a friendly, well-priced family store in Hinesville for your cigarettes and tobacco, Save A Ton is a dependable local pick.
