Spouts is the perfect alternative to the crowded, everyday grocery store. I love the shopping experience at Sprouts because of the vast array of fruits/veggies (both organic and not) as well as the freshest of the fresh meats/poultry/seafood. They have bulk items (try the chocolate covered almonds they are to DIE for!) and a large selection of coffees. (although I am partial to a little coffee shop that starts with an "S" so I can't say I have ever tried their coffee)
The customer service is really great here and people are always very helpful and friendly. A word to the wise...go on a Wednesday when you can earn the savings from the prior weeks ad IN ADDITION TO the current weeks ad. This often can add up to some great savings!
