| - Sprouts in one sentence: "Sprouts is a necessary spot for niche items that even Trader Joes does not handle or carry." Pow! Pow! Lets delve into this spot specifically, off of Indian School.
~What to do?~
Couches....lots of couches.. Kidding. It is a classier chain grocery store, specializing primarily in foods and health items.
~The Good~
I compare them directly to Trader Joe's, being they are a specialty grocery chain. If you are new to the valley, this is the best way to gauge the options you will find when stopping in for the first time. It is and will always be my my # 1 store to hit for necessary recipe items. The store carries a wide range of spices that are pourable from a spout. Generally they are priced by the ounce, or whichever measuring medium used on the spice's label. It's amazingly easy when making a recipe, just go to Sprouts! On top of that, they also carry a large inventory of barreled scoop-and-pay items. Everything from Split Peas to gummy bears, then more. It's a specialty grocery store that allows you to shop for specific niche items that you can't find elsewhere. Its an experience, when compared to general grocery chains . Outside of a true meat market, they carry some of the freshest meats/seafood in town that a grocery chain could provide. This is one thing that TJ's has not... a meat counter with high quality options! Finally, besides the healthy living section filled with vitamins and minerals, they also have a general produce section along with frozen foods, much alike TJ's.
~The Bad~
They are always a bit pricier than other spots in town, very comparable to TJ's. This is where once again that comparison will help you. It is pricier to shop here for your primary grocery list. Its best to gauge the weekly specials and to see what items are on sale, which is straining but will save you a lot in the end. They do not have many household products like at a grocery chain, but that's not the primary reason to come here anyway.
~Extras/Rating~
On Wednesdays, they come out with the next week's special sales. This also coincides with the closure of the previous weeks' specials. Thus, you have twice the specials on Wednesdays!! This is the best day to shop here, so much is on sale! Take a look at the frozen section, they have some interesting items I never even noticed... Sashimi Grade Tuna, hooray! That's just a small example of what else they have. They get 4 stars for having such an excellent healthy selection of foods. The prices drag them down one star, but you can't haggle with prices too much when you see the selection and quality you get here. This location has wonderful, fast service, and will always do you well. Enjoy food shoppers!
