Happy Friday!
Tonight we took a family "field trip" to one of the next towns over. There is a new Sprouts Farmer's Market, which according to their circular, is a great source for natural and whole foods. Since I hate going up to Whole Foods which is really expensive, I was excited!
I have to say, I give them 2 thumbs up! The store isn't huge, but that's a good thing having two kids in tow. We headed to the bulk items first because that's our favorite! lol I have no idea how those prices compare to Whole Foods because I haven't been there in a long time. But we got some raw almonds for $4.99/lb, wasabi peas for $3.49/lb, raw pepitas for $4.99/lb, and garlic sesame sticks for $3.19/lb.
The produce looked really good. I got some broccoli for .99/lb, avocados 4/$1, grapefruit 4/$1, and bulk spinach and spring mix for $3.99/lb.
They had organic cereal 2/$4 which was a great deal, and they also had big block cheddar cheese on sale.
But the BIG deal of the night? Chicken tenders on sale for $1.79/lb!!
You have to watch - not everything in the store is natural. They had m&m-like candies which were made with artificial colors, and I'm sure there were other things.
BUT! I think it's a great store and I will watch the circulars and try to hit their sales. Their web site has recipes, and even nutrition information for the bulk items. Go to www.sprouts.com.
Have a great weekend!!!
