| - I agree with a lot of what Yelper Christine O. says about Fry's. They do carry a lot of items not normally found in grocery stores. But I think that's because grocery stores are far and wide in a suburb like Laveen, several minutes drive from the heart of Phoenix.
I live within 5 minutes drive of two WalMart Superstores and I do not buy groceries there. I still shop at Sprouts and Ralphs for the majority of my food supplies.
Here's why I loved shopping at Fry's so much I gave them 5 stars . . .
1. I wanted to feed my family a fast lunch. The deli had cooked food & prepared salads. I bought melons, bananas, and strawberries for a quick salad to accompany our meal.
2. For dessert I bought a couple of boxes of deli cookies.
3. For fun I bought a box of sushi, which was made fresh that morning, in the store, by chefs whose job is dedicated to sushi making.
4. I bought milk, yogurt, cheese, and selected drinks and juices to last a few days.
5. I bought plastic plates, cups and flatware so we didn't have to wash dishes.
6. I bought baby water for our newborn. And liners for his brand new diaper pail.
7. I bought travel size q-tips, Listerine, multivitamins, facial soap and hair spray - items I'd usually buy at the drugstore.
8. I could have bought receiving blankets, a baby seat, BBQ coals for the 4th of July, and if I'm not mistaken, fireworks.
My point is . . . I didn't have to drive to Target, Walgreen's, Safeway, a fireworks stand, and a sushi bar to get all the things I needed to feed and care for my family. One stop shop . . . and in 120 degree heat, one stop is all I wanted to make.
