| - This store is on my regular shopping route. I wish they made a store that would combine Trader Joe's, Sunflower Market, and Fresh & Easy, but that is not to be.
What F&E has that no one else has:
* freshly prepared meals that are low calorie and easy
Otherwise, mostly just a regular grocery store, and with a few speciality orders. No Chobani yogurt, and the only yogurt they carry that I can eat is Voskos, which is okay, but not my favorite. Not a great protein bar selection either or cereals that are healthy. No bread that I can eat to speak of.
This means at the bare minimum I still have to go to Sunflower sometimes, and then feel less than happy since Sunflower doesn't have the nice pre-made low cal meals.
Also would like some variety in said meals. It gets boring to see the same types week after week! Enough to get mama to cook. That said, they do have some nice things that are easy to cook.
They also have the lovely Reed's Gingerale, some nice trail mix items, etc. And it's nice that they have decent kitchen items like paper towels, etc. for those times that I really need to pick up more than just a few meals.
Although they advertise "no high fructose corn syrup" some items DO have corn syrup, so DO READ THE LABELS there if you are avoiding corn syrup! I'm food -sensitive to corn so I woudl love it if I really had the freedom from corn syrup there, but there are definitely items with corn syrup. It must not be high fructose, I guess.
that said, I still give them a high rating for easy layout, easy to shop at, clean, pretty good customer service (I rarely have to bag my own even going through self serve, maybe once in a while), and good prices.
