So happy that we have Sprouts. The store carries healthful and interesting brands and items not found elsewhere. The bulk section is extensive and beautifully maintained. Spend some time looking around. Your health is worth some extra money! Our health is our most important asset.

Meats are very tasty. Produce and fruits far better than any other grocery store. You definitely get what you pay for!👍🏻

But not .10 per bag! Those bags cost like 1/100 of a cent and that’s probably too much.

Really unique store. Fruit and veggies are the best. Always interesting to shop there. Whoever picked that spot was not thinking. They really belong in one of the malls and not isolated in that out of the way spot. I can't imagine any store being a success there. Maybe a "Hooters".

Never liked the one that was 5 minutes from us before we moved here. Went to this one once and liked it even less. We drive an hour to Dr. Phillips to shop at TJ’s because it’s so much better. Wish it was just around the block from us though like back home.

Really P.G? WTF are you doing with the plastic bags that go from your house to the waterways and onto streets. Perhaps more responsible disposal should be on the agenda. Like J.M., we find multiple useful reuses for the mislabeled single use bags, and then send them out responsibly with our trash where they don’t wind up in the waterways or streets. We hoard our plastic bags from Publix and bring them up north with us for reuse, where the wack job tree huggers have made them no longer available.

I found their sushi to be decent. I like their potato egg salad. They have some unique goods that I don’t find elsewhere. When I go, I typically use my Trader Joe’s bag

If you ever travel in France, and like to use your own bags for shopping, pop into a Carrefour Supermarket and buy their re-usable shopping bags.
Had ours for 'double number' years, and still going strong.
Best shopping bags we ever purchased.

There's zero chance those thick bags they use cost less than .10. Even regular grocery bags cost at least that much to the retailers now with inflation.

Sounds like you're living in the 80's or something.

I love sprouts. Great organic fruits and vegetables and like every other store, you have to shop the sales!!

Not exactly. Amazon sells regular plastic grocery bags with handles for 3 cents each. The thicker ones are 8 cents each. Those are retail prices. The Sprouts bags are slightly thicker than the ones at Publix, but both can be reused if you want to. I wouldn't reuse either, but I prefer the Publix bags and they are free.

Would they mind using Publix bags?

I love Sprouts, and go about once a week. They always seem to have good seafood - I like the wild caught shrimp, and good selection of fruits and vegetables, nice quality organic veggies. The store has a nice layout, is very clean and just has a pleasing atmosphere, and the employees seem very friendly. I keep a couple of bags in my car I just take in for shopping, not a big deal.
