| - ORGANIZATION OF STORE: Overall, I find this Fry's to be organized in a manner that does not compute with me.
I do most of my shopping at Trader Joe's, Fresh and Easy and Safeway. I can easily find things I am looking for at those stores.
Because this location is a Fry's Marketplace, I feel like there is a lot of stuff I have to bypass to get to the grocery aisles.
PHARMACY: Competent, but slow. This Fry's has the best pharmacy of the other Fry's I have been to in the valley. That said, it is not really set up for dropping off your prescriptions before you shop and picking them up when you're done. You're better calling in your prescription or dropping it off a day or two in advance. Usually when I need something right away, I will go to Target because they take 10 minutes - half hour at most. However, the draw to the pharmacy is you get 50 gas reward points PER prescription. Every 100 reward points gets you a 10 cent/gallon gas reward. Fry's gas stations has the lowest gas prices in my area to begin with, so anything off it makes it even better.
PRICES: I have found that the brands I prefer are higher priced at Fry's than at Safeway. Also, lunch meats are VERY expensive compared to the other stores I frequent; Even their sales on deli meat are never really good. Their butcher counter and seafood counter occasionally run sales, but are generally overpriced.
I do not find the quality of products available at the meat counter to be as high as other stores.
OVERALL: I come to Fry's for sales and prescriptions, but I do not really LIKE grocery shopping here. My friends all know that I LOVE grocery shopping. For me to find it even mildly unpleasant is very telling.
