We stopped at Sprouts today. Was busy, but not crowded. It is hard to compare prices due to different brands. We did see eggs for less that $4.00 per dozen. Fresh strawberries were a good bargain as well as some clementines. A couple of common items with Publix were Taylor pre-packaged salads and Simply juices. The Taylor salads were 3 for $11.00. That is about the same as the non-special price at Publix. Simply Lemonade was about $1.00 more for a 52oz bottle. I thought the bulk food selection was good. The per pound price for Cashews (6.99) is probably better than Publix and maybe Sam’s packaged product.

Will we shop there? No, unless there is a specific item not available at Publix or they have a great special like strawberries or oranges. From our home there are 2 Publix and a Winn-Dixie which are more convenient. However, I hope they do well. I believe there is a demand and market for Sprouts.

As for getting out of the parking lot, if you want to go north on BV, just go south to the roundabout and then go north, or turn west on to Parr Drive, then north onto Southern Trace to BV. If one can afford to shop at Sprouts, you can afford to travel an extra 1/4 mile…
