We stop weekly, right after fresh market baking on site, (best pies for $5-7) if one needs a quick sandwich on homemade bread.
Those who need to shop for special dietary items it’s the only place to do one stop shopping. We buy ready to bake, Or skillet dinners with vegetables and all the seasonings 2-3 times a week. Depending on what you like dinner for two can be $8-$15 sometimes with leftovers for lunch. Their shrimp fajitas and salmon dinners are very good. Meatloaf dinner is not as good as moms but better than mine. Fresh meatballs ready for sauce are excellent All meals come in a microwave or oven ready container. Zero parking spots early morning when we shop. Mid to late day parking not a problem. If cost for groceries, is a concern than we need to revamp our budget. Hard to bash a business is one has never stepped foot in the door, but then again it’s a hobby for some

We always take our own bags to all grocery stores. Not a fan of plastic bags so thin they rip open. But then again I don’t shop at Aldi because bags aren’t free, I just don’t like their products. I will say I did buy one bag at sprouts and it rivals a couple of my reusable bags, sturdy and handles that don’t rip off

We have tried to give this store a chance. Some good produce and specialty goods not found in some other stores, but very expensive, especially compared to items you can find at Winn-Dixie. The produce section does not seem to be culled as often as other local groceries. Watch out for frequent molded or rotten items. Also we often find that sale prices posted on the shelves do not register at checkout, and due to limited number of staff when the cashier sends another employee for a price check it can seem to take forever. The parking and bag situations are aggravating but not a deal breaker. Given the nearby competition, I'm afraid this store is not likely to make it financially.

I'm thankful we have a Sprouts. Not the same as Whole Foods, but a decent alternative to find specialty items that are unavailable at Publix or Winn Dixie. I regularly shop Publix, Fresh Market and Sprouts. It's great to have grocery options.

Overall pricing seems pretty high though, and like some who post here I am turned of by the $.10 per plastic bag that they charge. |

IF one has a food sensitivity, is gluten, this store is a great option as they carry items others don't carry. Groceries are expensive ALL over! Do you shop Publix?? Even "discount" ones such as Walmart are ridiculous. I wish Sprouts well. As for bags---others on this link have stated that it's no different than Aldi or Sam's and probably BJ's. You all should realize that Sprouts is more of a "specialty" store and maybe prices are elevated a bit. Fresh Market falls into that line as well. As I stated in another thread---there are folks who would complain if hung with a new rope.

I didn't realize that 10¢ was such a hardship for people, but then I didn't realize that anyone still doesn't bring their own bags to the store when they shop. I get a lot of exercise just walking to the store door, and remembering that I left my bag in the car........ Hahahaha
