I’m happy Sprouts opened here.
Will wait until after Snowbird season to try them out.

I'll stick to Aldis on 466A, easy to get in and out, Sprouts looks like a nightmare to get out of, bad planning it looks like.

I wish Sprouts well! I was there and there is so much more of a selection than other grocery stores in many categories. They will do well however with all the fast food junkie seniors here it may be a challenge! Beautiful store. The location not being directly on 466 may be an issue. Lots of people will drive by not knowing it's there.

I love Fresh Market, but don’t consider them a true organic store. Many of their store-made products contains carrageenan, an unnecessary food additive that I will not feed to my animals. So, I buy their organic milk and eggs, which are excellent, and their fish, but nothing pre-made. Looking forward to checking out Sprouts.

What's the difference between Sprouts and Fresh Market?

If you don't care about healthy eating, then walmart/publix will support your needs and the local doctors bank accounts.

We went on Saturday afternoon and it was so packed that we weren't able to see everything, but still managed to spend over $100. We bought maitake mushrooms, eryngii mushrooms, daikon, a bottle of wine, some French cheese, bulk macadamia nuts, and various vegan products not available anywhere else.
I also noticed on their website yesterday that they carry celery root, so I'm looking forward to having ratatouille crepes and a celery root remoulade soon. Fresh Market is okay as far as it goes, but it doesn't have the selection to make a trip there from south of 44 worthwhile. I agree with the other poster who said that building Sprouts south of 44 would have been more sensible, given the demographic down here; nevertheless, we'll still go to Sprouts regularly, but not as frequently as we would have otherwise. Edited to add that golf-cart accessibility is a definite plus. It will make a nice outing on one of our many gorgeous-weather days. Last edited by OwnedByCats; 03-20-2023 at 07:10 AM. |

Publix has been around since sand was turned to farming dirt in Florida. Publix has always been higher priced and is getting even higher which is not surprising since the people they cater to can always afford it. Winn Dixie is another "home grown" store known to native Floridians. W D, was mostly likely the first to market BOGOs in Florida. The store that Publix most likely realized they needed to copy to draw in those not willing to pay more for their name and store overhead. None the less, some would say "Don't knock Publix" I am sure. Glad to know where Sprout's "roots" are located. Very interesting... Thinking I will stick with grocery stores rooted in FL history and culture. Last edited by GizmoWhiskers; 03-20-2023 at 04:11 PM. |

I love the bulk section at Sprouts! They even have bulk spices. Buy just what you need.

An apple is an apple an apple. Rice is rice is rice. A egg is an egg is an egg! Calories are calories. Even YOUR ORGANIC GURUS will tell you there absolutely NO NUTRITIONAL difference in eating “organic”. The ONLY thing that keeps you out of the Dr’s office is CONSISTENT EXERCISE AND A BALANCED DIET. There are no good foods or bad foods. Only good diets and bad diets.
