| - I'm a sucker for a good grocery store! Eating healthy and purchasing healthful ingredients, i.e., organic veggies, organic fruits, grass-fed/organic/free range eggs, is an expense I am willing to absorb. I thank heaven for grocers like Sprouts (and Trader Joe's) that help me keep my budget in check.
I was ecstatic to learn that a Spouts was coming closer to home in the Northwest area. Sprouts always have lots of items on sale every week (hello buy-one-get-one sales and monthly deals)! Their produce and fruit quality are on par with other high-end grocers - I always judge a supermarket on their unique offerings and product (quality meats and produce are important). They offer loads and loads of healthy, vegan items, gluten-free items, GMO-free items, and red/white wine. Their coffee (walk down this aisle, and you will get to sample different blends on your visit), frozen products w/o the junk, quality cuts of meat (vegetarian fed/organic, etc.), bulk items are fantastic, and I am barely scratching the surface here.
Overall, Sprouts is mini 'Whole Foods' that is easy on your wallet. What's not to love there? I still frequent Trader Joe's and Costco. However, I still do majority of my grocery shopping here.
Hot Tips:
Vitamins/Body Product Selection: There vitamin/health conscious bath and beauty products selection is out of this world! There is always an employee to help you and answer any questions you may have. We recently purchased some Alaffia - Authentic African Black soup for my husband's eczema and it seems to be helping with is dry skin, and it was on sale--score!
Salad Bar/Deli: If you are looking for a fresh sandwich or salad bar, come here to grab some grub. We have been here a handful of times to just to eat. They have deli sliced meats and cheese for you to take home if you are looking for it to be ultra fresh! They do have a fair share of grab n' go items for healthy eats on the run (rotisserie chickens, sandwiches, salads, soups, and plenty of heat n' serve options).
Catering/Holiday Meals: I ordered a precooked, heat n' serve Thanksgiving meal for two this past Thanksgiving. It saved on the cooking, and it tasted good and was roughly $30 bucks - which is a steal! They have catering trays of deli meat and cheese, veggie trays, fruit trays, and sandwich trays you can order if you're hosting an event. They even have prime rib you may order - easy.
