I moved here 11 years ago and I'm surprised by the lack of bulk sections, except for Sprouts.\nI love WinCo. Their produce selection is pretty good. \nBut the bulk section is what keeps me coming back. You can get bulk everything. I get granola, dried blueberries, nuts, even pasta. They have small racks with recipes throughout the section, too. \nI also like that they post the prices of their competitors. Coffee is almost 30% cheaper there (I like to buy beans). \nThe employees are happy. That makes a difference to me. Also, they have an amazing social media presence."^^ . . "4"^^ . .
