| - The best thing I can say about this Sprouts is it's the least worst place to shop, at least compared to other grocery stores near me. When your choices are chemical-y fruit from Fry's, no fruit from Target, or occasionally moldy fruit from Sprout's, you pick the moldy fruit.
That said, if you spend a couple extra minutes studying your produce (especially the berries!! You WILL find moldy berries about 75% of the time, no matter how much you try to shake the berry package), it's not so bad. And the prices for produce can't be beat.
Sprouts also runs weekly deals, which are pretty darn good. Their dairy section is good - but the real winner is their wine/beer section. You can almost ALWAYS find a good deal on wine or beer at Sprouts. Woohoo!
The people who work at Sprouts are hit or miss. There are definitely one or two people I avoid like the plague, because if you get in their checkout line, you won't check out for another 30 minutes. Almost not joking.
Also, forget about anyone helping you out on the floor. I don't even bother asking people for fresher berries, if all the strawberries are moldy. Just give up on strawberries that week. No one is going to help you, and that's okay. They can be surly if you ask them (lesson learned!)
Their bulk bins are great - really good deals! But be warned, EVERYONE sticks their hands in the bulk bins. If that weirds you out, don't buy from the bulk bins. I'm pretty healthy, so I haven't gotten ill from everyone shoving their hands in there yet!
Like I said, least worst place to shop, at least anywhere within a 20-minute driving radius from where I live. :)
