Sprouts Farmers Market

Overall I like it better than Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and "standard grocery" chains. I think they have an excellent selection of both food and health/beauty products. I like their bulk bins, and for a while this was a perfect location for me until I moved.

Since we were shopping at the Fox Hills mall across the street, we decided to check out Sprouts as we needed some groceries too. It has a wide open floor layout with an extensive bulk section in the middle. We avoided the meat section entirely and checked out the produce and bulk areas before heading over to the side aisles of dry goods. Sprouts has eco cleaners and beauty products as well as many other dry grocery items similar to Whole Foods, but in many cases, the prices were better. The selection wasn't as extensive as WF, but it has the basic stuff.

They don't have a very good selection of Organic Produce, but all the organic dry goods and toiletries are here. I go for the chili mangos in the bulk section. Its not really that cheaper than whole foods so no real win over it.

Was here in October 2010 for the first time and am pleased to review it on HappyCow. Sprouts is like a conventional supermarket (like Ralphs, Albertson, etc.) but combined with a natural food store. The natural food stuff is presented all to one side of the store, and the selections are extensive enough (not so much like Whole Foods but has all the basic natural food brands).

The Good: I found some stuff that I normally buy from Whole Foods but cheaper here.

Suggestion for Improvement: Need more organic choices. There is extensive bulk selection but none of it is organic.
