| - I Don't Always Shop for Groceries, But When I Do, I Prefer the Sun Prairie Woodman's.
While Woodman's may not be the most interesting store in the world, the mew Sun Prairie store makes for a pleasant grocery shopping experience. The store is clean, not as crowded as the Madison store and the prices are the best in town.
Things I like:
* Selection - International food, they got it. Organic items, no problem Meat and dairy, the got you covered. Beer and wine, hundreds if items to choose from. Sherry Wine vinegar, OK, I had to go to a specialty store for that. But 99.9% of the time, Woodman's has what I need.
* Price - While I'll pick up sale items at Copps and Piggly Wiggly, the everyday prices at Woodman's are generally lower by 10 to 25%.
* Speedy oil changes - Unlike the East Side store where you have to wait for 30 minutes before you can get in for an oil change, I've never had to wait at the Sun Prairie location. The staff is pleasant and efficient and the waiting area is spotless.
* It's not crazy busy - Unlike the dirty, crowded east side store, the Sun Prairie location is clean and relatively uncrowded, even on weekends. The checkout lines rarely are more than two deep and the cashiers are lightning fast.
Things I don't:
* Produce quality - While Woodman's offers a large variety of produce items, the quality is really hit or miss. If you are super selective and look at each item closely, you can come away with decent produce, but it takes a lot of effort.
* Deli - The selection at the deli counter is not greatest.
* Bakery - The quality of bread and doughnuts isn't very good.
* No credit cards - I know, no credit cards means lower prices, but it sucks when you are in the check-out line and realize you left your ATM card at home.
