I AM STUFFED! And I only had to spend $3! Just finished a great overstuffed sandwich from Sprouts. And that's the first good thing to report about my latest visit.
I was there to pick up some red meat as they are having a sale on beef (40%off). Beef selection was decent enough and I picked up a flank steak for less than $5/lb. But I was quickly reminded why I love Sprouts so much as I was immediately drawn to the neighboring the deli section.
Sprouts carries a lot of unique items, things I readily find in Ohio, where I am from, but have to search for here, like Batampte and Bubbies pickles.
They also carry some hard-to-find East Coast favorites like Sabrett's hot dogs and stuffed Quahogs. Living in AZ, it's not as easy to take a weekend trip to NYC or Massachusetts, so it's nice to know these items are at my disposal all the way out here.
As far as pricing goes, I think they are relatively competitive. You'd be hard pressed to find a sandwich of that size and quality for less than $2.99 in that area.
