WinCo is somewhere in between Albertsons and Sprouts when it comes to what they offer but similar to Costco in appearance. The positives: there are always short lines, so no waiting like you would at Walmart or Costco. Another positive, they have vegan and vegetarian items as well as a bulk section much like Sprouts and their prices are more reasonable than Sprouts. For instance, their bulk coffee is nearly half the price.
The beautiful thing here is that they also have a pet section in their bulk section and it's significantly cheaper than Petco or PetSmart. Dog treats are 71 cents a pound, I dare you to find a better deal in the valley. Another positive is that it's employee owned. Their Butter Toffee Almonds in the bulk section are out of this world!
So there's many reasons why I keep coming back.
The only negative is that they don't take credit so you have to pay in debit or cash.
