Most people don't go grocery shopping on Wednesdays before 9 in the morning. So you probably shouldn't expect to see a lot of people there. If you're looking to see how crowded it can get, try Fridays around 5:30pm, Saturday afternoons, or Sundays around lunch time.
Sprouts is great. They're focused more on produce than anything else, and they have a good selection of local and specialty fruits and veggies for reasonable prices. They also have a huge variety of bulk bin items, I was able to get just a small amount of cardamom powder for less than a dollar - and that'll last me a year since a little goes a long way. They have a lot of "natural" products, at the expected higher prices than their P&G counterparts. Their Dr. Bronners soaps were the same price as everywhere else. So if you like natural foods, and other products, AND you're needing fresh produce, Sprouts is a good place to go.
If you're looking for paper products, trash bags, stuff like that, and you're rather go inexpensive rather than the "save the planet" thing, then you're better off at Walmart.
