| - This old-school Basha's reminds me of PHX from years ago. The store IS old, which is part of the charm. You won't find LCD tvs telling you what to buy, you won't find a Starbucks in the store. What you will find, is all the groceries anyone needs, plus a healthy booze selection and best of all, easy parking- which allows for a quick visit.
On tonight's visit, I got all my stuff, checked out quickly and was on my way. In scanning other reviews, I am confused as to why prices were raised as an issue? The prices at this store were the same I see at Safeway, etc. except Basha's offers their discount card. Tonight, I saved $34 simply by entering a phone number in the computer (no, it doesn't need to be your number, or even a real number. I use the movie phone #)
I must admit a bias, I am very PRO small and locally owned business. I would much rather spend money which will stay in AZ, and that is another reason why I choose to spend my money at Basha's and AJ's.
If you're looking for a quick, positive shopping experience- this store will work great. If you require a spa-like aesthetic to conduct your shopping, this will not work out. This store is a throw-back to the old days when you just needed a good spot to pick up some chow.
