| - TLDR: great fresh grocery store, lots of organic, but if you want cheap cheap it's usually not here
I really love this grocery store, and I'm so grateful it's within walking distance of my apartment. As everyone else has mentioned, they truly have fresh produce and I LOVE the pre packaged amounts of pretty much everything. It makes shopping truly truly easy, how do other grocery stores not do this?!
I also think the staff and availability at this store is great. They always offer help if I look like I can't find something, they're fast and efficiency on the checkout, and I always feel there is help if I need it.
The only reason i consider this 4 instead of 5 star is because of the price. If you're looking to go organic and healthy, and price is no object, in my opinion I wouldn't go anywhere else (except MAYBE trader joes or whole foods). They have fresh items and they always have organic versions of pretty much anything.
However, they have a lot of overpriced items as well (like spices), and you would be better off doing some research and getting things cheaper at a place like Walmart or Costco. For me, if I could afford to shop at Fresh and Easy for everything, I probably would, but since I an generally searching for a bargain... I only come here for produce or for a quick easy shopping trip last minute.
I know they also have clearance items, and those are a good value, but I guess I just don't get in early enough to benefit. I sometimes go at 10-11, but they're not a ton of clearance and I don't like shopping with a "I guess I'll get this because it's on sale" mentality. I prefer to have recipes and things in mind going in, and just go to the best priced store for those things.
