I have to say that for my first trip to a Sprouts, I wasn't terribly excited. On the whole I think the prices here are 10 to 30 cents more than other chains, including Trader Joes, and possibly Whole Foods.
I found everything I was looking for, and they have a killer bulk area, which made me think Sprouts is copying Sunflower (or maybe the other way around). Great looking produce, loads of natural products and all my favorite organics, but the prepared foods area is dismal, really. It had a few salads, 5 wraps and hummus.
I don't know what Sprouts offers that would draw me back over hitting up the Fry's or Safeway that are nearby.
