| - I shop at this location fairly often, as it's pretty close to my home base. The employees are nice and there are a few that we usually stop and chat with when they're working.
The mark down section is updated frequently with new items that will be passing their sell-by date soon. If you shop smart & plan to use up whatever it is, you can find some awesome deals. I like to look here before work for marked down salads, as they're still good and I'll be eating them within a few hours. They often have breads and vegetables there, so if you're looking to save money it's a nice option for grabbing a cheap ingredient for the night's meal.
Their prepared foods are convenient and usually have recognizable ingredients, which I appreciate. The options change with the seasons, which is a smart touch. I like their butternut squash ravioli a lot, and their soups are pretty good. Their buffalo wings aren't very spicy, but their thighs were good. Whole chicken for about $1 a pound is really reasonable.
They don't sell very many brands, so the selection isn't very broad but the store brand seems good and is often fairly affordable.
Beer is fairly cheap and a decent if not small selection. Singha, Mothership Wit, a few store brands and cheaper beers.
Their teas are pretty tasty, I like the moroccan style mint green tea a lot.
Also, it's often very efficient to dip in for an item or two. The cashier area is all self serve with an employee or two around to check IDs and assist where needed. There's about 7 different registers. Very reminiscent of Tesco in London! I think it's the same company, actually, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
