| - I am torn on Fresh and Easy
In the spirit of Kristin C, here are my like and dislikes
Likes
Great wine selections, and most are very cheap
Fresh and diverse deli carrying everything from carne burritos to chicken tikka masala
Excellent meat and produce, although a little on the pricey side (unless you get the clearance items) and there is a lack of consistency in the items they carry
Fantastic discount items - If you're looking to make a meal that night you can buy items that are about to expire (for example a whole seasoned chicken for $3 - wow)
Yummy desserts, their tiramisu is to die for~!
Awesome oils and seasonings
Dislikes
Very small selection, last time I was there I looked for stuffing, triscuits, cantelope and any veggie or morning star veggie products, various cleanings supplies.. they carried none of this. Imagine driving there, only to have to get back in your hot ass car and take a treck to Safeway (annoying)!
A lot of the F&E brand are not high quality (do not even compare to TJ's) macaroni and cheese was gross, bread expired in a day and tasted stale begin with Peanut butter pretzels should lay down and let TJ's peanut butter pretzels walk over them.
Overall it is a good store when you want things as the sign says "Fresh and Easy".. Don't try to do major grocery shopping there or stock up your fridge for Thanksgiving, or buy all your hygene products.. But if you just need to run in and grab dinner or a snack it'll do. If it wasn't within 3 miles of my house it would probably only get 2 stars..
