| - I personally was expecting something different. Since moving back home to Pittsburgh from South Carolina, we have been struggling to find a good real organic farmers market and organic store that doesn't gouge you. The bulk section was not as large as I wanted. They have several things in different places so it looks like there's more than there is. They offer nuts, flour, dried fruits, beans, oats, and candy. They had bins of the same product here, there, and over there. Same with the candy and oats. Not sure when Rainbow Nerds became a healthy food but they have three bins of them. The meat and fish departments don't offer much choice. There were maybe 6- 7 verities of fish and they were already in cut no whole fish. The meat section had more varieties of grilling sausages than anything else. I was surprised to see no breakfast or bulk sausage. The deli is ALL Boar's Head. My husband did order a Cuban Sandwich (they gave it to him half off because he waited so long for it which they did not have to do at all) which was on toasted bread but the meat and cheese was cold and it was not pressed as a Cuban should be, but that is a training error easily fixed. The cheese section was less than impressive, on the website they say 75+ varieties of cheese. The small cooler case did not have 75+ verities of cheese. The salad bar was very nice, had a great selection of choices.The produce was beautiful! Each piece of produce was blemish free and looked as if it was polished! Still no cactus leaves though. The center of the store is prepackaged goods, I didn't see any of the brands I was looking for that we used to buy in the organic stores down south, but they offered a lot of common brands found in most stores that have organic sections. If your looking to compare cost to shop n Save then yes, they are expensive. But your not shopping for what they sell at Shop n Save, this is supposed to be organic and natural. There's a reason you pay more for that, if you don't understand that statement this is not the store for you. If your looking to compare cost to Whole Foods, yes it is a great deal less expensive. The best part of the store we saw last night were the employees. They were everywhere. They wanted to help. If they didn't know the answer you needed they went and found someone who did. They had the vendors themselves there demonstrating their products and a lot of great freebies, like a gallon of Reverse Osmosis water (refill is only 39ยข). I won't be rushing back down to do my weekly shopping as I still do better getting things I want in the Strip District but might go back for some things here and there in a pinch. But it's new and they products might change as they learn their clients. Possibly in a month or so we may venture back down and check it out again when its not a mad house and we can more closely look at things.
