I love the prices on produce I just wish it lasted a little longer once I got it home.  I also buy most of my vitamins here.  The sandwich counter is good and really inexpensive for what you get.  Don't forget to pick up a fresh fruit popsicle!

Sprouts is a tiny, but well deserving little farmers market.  Journeyed in for a few items, but always have to try just one more item.  I know eating 'organic' and healthy is trendy, but this place is down to earth.  For being smaller, they do manage to cram a lot in there.  There's a good sized section of vitamins, teas, and the such.  You can find almost anything that would be in a normal grocer, but just with the 'natural or organic' labelings.  Prices of course tend to be higher, but it's worth it right?

Bulk food section still amazes me, many large bins of dried fruit, nuts, flours, snack items, and more.  You can bag up as little or as much as you like.  Produce section is what keeps me coming back, healthy organic produce is not easy to find.  They do a great job keeping it in stock and fresh.

Service here is top notch as well.  Always ready to help and offer simple free advice on their products.  While trying not to mention competition inside businesses, the words Whole Foods slipped out in a conversation.  Sales rep spoke up quickly against them, but it's true.  Sprouts is cheaper and fresher, just lack the overwhelming selection of previously mentioned competition.  But who needs that right?

Sprouts is probably the best place in the East valley to get most of your groceries.  Their produce is fresh and the prices are excellent.  Seriously, buying stuff at Sprouts is cheaper than buying at CostCo, and you don't need to buy 500 pounds of everything you want.  For example, today I got 5 pounds of yellow onions for $1 and 10 pounds of russet potatoes for $0.99.  Their spice section is excellent too as you can buy bulk spices - if you need a tablespoon of an obscure spice for a recipe, you can just buy a tablespoon for 25 cents instead of buying a $10 jar that will mostly just go to waste.

Sprouts also has very fresh meat and seafood.  They have a decent selection of fish - I get ahi tuna steaks here and they're quite good.  Sprouts also has a huge section of various kinds of fresh sausages which are giant and fantastic.

Since Sprouts is a Farmer's Market/Organic type place, there will be some things that you can't find here and will need to go to a "normal" grocery store for.  Not to worry - there's a Fry's just across the street on the Northeast corner of Ray and Dobson.

If you shop here, you will save a *lot* of money compared to shopping at other grocery stores and you'll probably end up with fresher food, too.  So check Sprouts out sometime - you'll be glad you did.

I think I am in love with Sprouts! No, seriously. It's a little crunchy (lots of mountain biking, spandex-wearing, tree-hugging-like people), but these guys do have one of the best selections of fresh, organic fruits and vegs around (maybe with the exception of Whole Foods) at a reasonable price.

That's not what I like most about this place, though. I LOVE their free guide to gluten- and wheat-free eating that's placed throughout the store. The booklet contains a no-nonsense list of foods and brands that do not contain gluten that are sold within the store.

The staff members are very knowledgable and can explain which supplements are best for people who are sensitive to gluten. It's not until you try to eliminate this substance from your diet that you truly gain an understanding of how much crap actually contains it. It's EVERYWHERE!

Anyway, this store chain is so much cheaper than the majority of mainstream grocers, e.g., Fry's, Albertsons. Their bulk product sections are really phenomenal and offer customers a great deal of variety to choose from at an even better price.

Love it, love it, love it!!!!

Sprouts is a store you walk into because you think you want to eat healthy.  When you get inside and see the prices and the quality that you are getting you realize YOU ARE EATING HEALTHY.  They have double Wednesday ad day, so you get two weeks worth of ads in one day.  They have a huge health and wellness section.  I love the fact I can get things in bulk- so you can just buy 1/2 cup of Almonds if that is all you need.

They do have a few samples out.  (My boys are all about the samples.)  The bakery section does lack a little in my opinion.  I love the meat section though.  I also LOVE the produce section.  I do not buy produce at any other store.  Not only does it look great, but it tastes great as well!
