I hadn't been to Fresh and Easy since they remodeled it so I was taken back quite a bit when I stepped inside. They changed the entire layout of the store so it took me a little while to get the items I needed. I'm looking to forward to trying out their smoothies, maybe next time. They still have the self checkout lanes but now they have added one cashier to the mix.
Prices have gone up from when they first opened a few years back. I still remember when you could buy their gallon of pink lemonade for only $1. I didn't notice a price difference due to the re-opening. I was still able to buy my pasta for $1. Produce has always been a bit on the pricey side here so I don't really buy it, only the organic bananas. I mostly come here to buy my sons snacks and organic juice for school. No price difference there. The clearance items are still great deals, they had lettuce on clearance for $0.75 and hummus for under $2, I love their hummus!
You can find gluten free pastries here and a few imported items. They have a good selection on organic items, from cereals to produce, but note that they don't have a big selection for produce, way smaller than your average grocery store. Their ground beef is free of pink slime which is a huge plus!
F&E is really convenient because it is open 24 hours, I just wish they were closer! I'm still patiently waiting for the location on Sunset and Fort Apache to open up, until it does, this location is the nearest to me.
