| - I'd been anticipating Tesco's new concept entering the Phoenix area for quite a while and after visiting for the first time, I'm unabashedly hooked. I will not likely shop at any other place for groceries -- as the produce is gorgeous, their meat is proportioned into perfect dinner servings, their selection of national, name-brand products are concise but available, and their wine is CHEAP.
Those are all the makings of a perfect grocery experience, especially since i'm spending about 1/3 to 1/2 of what i would spend on a typical grocery trip to Safeway or Trader Joes.
Did i mention that their wine is CHEAP?! The Recoleta Malbec is FOUR FREAKING DOLLARS! I buy 5 at a time to last the whole week ;-)
I also recommend their artichokes, which are jumbo sized and quite unavailable in the same proportions at Safeway or TJs. And, as i mentioned before their presentation on all of the fresh produce makes you want to stock up on EVERYTHING, and at farmer's market prices. It really is amazing, this store.
Good selection of seafood and other meats. I particularly enjoy their pork chops, and i bought 1.5 lbs of top sirloin the other day to cut up into kabobs for about $8.
All your basic needs are present here, and they have a nice selection of everything you need, from name-brand to Tesco's own Fresh & Easy brand as a generic (but still quality).
As I mentioned already, I won't do my grocery shopping anywhere else, other than to pick up a few random items (beer, breakfast cereal, water -- because F&E's selection is poor) at Safeway.
