Even though I miss Winco, I have found a new love: Sprouts! It's a grocery store, one of the smaller ones with lots of healthier foods and produce. Cheap but delicious produce. They built one really close by about a year ago and I am so happy they did! I am not good at shopping, I have very little endurance for it. Going to more than one store for grocery shopping used to make me want to curl up in a ball and cry (yes, I'm a wimp, but I seriously don't like it!!!) but the prices and quality at Sprouts makes a second trip soooooo worth it. Plus they have KILLER sales. A few weeks ago they had a one day sale on strawberries for $0.80 per container and Valencia oranges for $0.10 cents per pound!!! Can you believe that?! I bought 18 LBS!!! Do you know how many oranges that is? A LOT. We gorged ourselves on oranges for 2 weeks and it was awesome. And I only paid $1.80 for it. I was worried they would be dry and nasty and we wouldn't be able to eat a lot of them but I was very happy when I cut into the first one and it gushed sweet, delicious juice. The others were the same way. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Today the sale was on blueberries. They were $1 per container. Once again I bought a HUGE amount. Emery helped me wash and separate them for the freezer. We are going to have strawberry blueberry smoothies, blueberry muffins, and blueberry pancakes for a few weeks. YUM!

ReplyDeletewhy do you have to go to more than one store?
ReplyDeletewoops this is Lauren
ReplyDeleteSprouts is more of a health food type store so if I shopped there exclusively it would be waaaay expensive so I only go there for produce. The other grocery stores have good prices on other stuff but their produce is mediocre. So I don't have to go to more than one, but I do it to maximize the grocery budget. :)
