Have You Been To Sprouts Yet?

LittleTexas :
I bought some red apricots there the other day. They are really good. I like that there is a lot of produce not wrapped in plastic. I also like the bins as most of my diet is make-from-scratch-whole food. There are nuts, beans, grains, flours, and seeds.

I went! Loved it. Got some delicious grapes and fresh cheeses.

LittleTexas :
Nope still haven't made it over there. Probably this summer when I have more time off.

LittleTexas :
Yes. Went there earlier this week. Loved inside of the store. Very clean, bright and appealing. Great selection of organic meats and vegetables and day-to-day stuff. You wouldn't need to go to another local grocery store to complete your weekly grocery shopping.

I went a few times. The grapes were great but I bought some blueberries that were extremely sour. Russets were from North Dakota which were better than the Texas potatoes. I talked with one of the produce managers and he said the fruit that is in season is better than HEB but out of season fruit are all bought usually from same produce provider. Like apples are out of season and Sprouts and HEB have the same apple producer.

Those grab and go salads and the gyro dinner looked great. I need to go back and check it out again.

I love all the organic choices they have there. So many people fighting health issues will benefit from eating and shopping at sprouts. love it.

Weathergirl5: don't let the parking lot right in front fool you. It looks like it's full, but then once you get in the store, it's not full at all. for some reason ,that parking lot must attract people that park there and either go elsewhere, or get picked up for carpool, Etc.?

LittleTexas :
Went once, got some cinnamon muffins, rummo pasta (best pasta in the entire world, imo) and some kava tincture for my insomnia. Lots of things to see yet!

Wasn't overly impressed for my particular needs, which was the jams, jellies and honey offerings. Loved to buy them for food gift baskets. This sprouts had a very limited assortment, and zero that I would have desired to purchase.

LittleTexas :
Yes! I compared several prices with Kroger and HEB and found them comparable. The store is nice, produce and dairy are very good, meats are high end and pricey but in line for their quality. Organic pasture raised is pricey at any store. I will shop there often.

Chrysanthemum :
Good to know, did you notice a price difference?

LittleTexas :
That makes sense because that parking lot stays full.

LittleTexas :
I still haven't gone in to check things out, but will try to soon. I'm mostly curious about the salads and prepared heat and serve meals, and I also want to see how the prices compare on fruits and meats.
