I have been going to Sunflower for over 5 years, but I made the switch to exclusively Sunflower shopping about 2 years ago - and I'll never go back!
I used to hate grocery shopping, shoving my cart through loads of people, trying to avoid the displays full of tempting, unhealthy foods... ugh! Now I love it! Sunflower doesn't feel like a grocery store, but more like a market. The aisles aren't crammed together as close as possible and the produce is obviously the focal point of the store.
A few things I could never do without:
- Freshly made pesto (as good as homemade)
- Wheat pizza dough
- Cascade fresh yogurt
- Fair trade and organic coffee by the pound (and there's no douchebags grinding the disgusting flavored coffee in the organic grinder)
- Dr Praeger's veggie burgers
- Sunflower multi-grain bread
- Double ad Wednesday
Additionally, Sunflower has scads of inexpensive, store brand canned and boxed items that seem to increase every week. They have a pretty good wine selection (at least for this occasional wine-drinker), and a great beer selection for a grocery store.
There are probably dozens more things I could list, but I don't have all day! Just one more thing: I have actually spent less on groceries at Sunflower since switching away from Fry's and Bashas! I can eat healthful and even organic food for cheaper than a regular grocery store! It's almost too good to be true :)
