I shopped at Life Springs quite a bit when I lived nearby…read more Since then I have moved quite a distance away and dont have a good health food store in my area, so I am forced to buy online. Today after putting in a good sized online order, I was curious to check how prices lined up with Life Spring. I still have some containers of supplements I bought when I was last in the area so I was able to make comparisons. TO MY SURPRISE, THE PRICES AT LIFE SPRING WERE EQUAL OR LESS THAN THE ONLINE SUPPLIERS THAT I THOUGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER! So, to anyone tempted to save money and buy online, forget it! You will do as good or better with Life Spring! Plus, you will be dealing with some real nice local people who deserve your business!

I suppose in the end it turned out ok but it was still rather annoying…read more I needed some calcium supplements and it seems like most of the stores are out of them. Luckily, the Elston location had them so I placed an order for pickup. When I arrived, there were no parking spaces except for one for the Verizon next door. Since it was before 6 pm, I called the number in the email I received saying that you could call for curbside pickup. The guy I spoke with said that technically he wasn't allowed to bring it out... which was confusing since the email I got just a few hours prior saying that my order was ready for pickup said otherwise. So I asked about why it says they offer curbside pickup before 6 pm and after a moment the guy said he would bring it out. So like I said, turned out ok in the end. I'm one who thinks curbside should be here to stay--it makes things significantly easier for folks with disabilities, parents with little ones in the car, someone who can't find a place to park, or someone who just doesn't want to get out of their car--but if a place is going to offer it, it would be great if local shops didn't try to change the rules of it.

First is the staff: I've been charged the full price on sale items a number of times, and despite my knowing the price, a manager slow walks to the aisle to check, stink eye at me until I've left the store. I'm always right-- I remember numbers-- but it's the store's job to keep track of all their merchandise and prices. Even though they'll correct the prices for me, everybody else is being overcharged. Second is their stocking methods: half the time, many of the aisles are packed with merchandise waiting to be shelved. It's annoying and dangerous, not to mention damaging to the frozen foods thawing on the floor. I've tripped on their piles of boxes more than once. Tl;dr: overcharges fixed begrudgingly, stock on the floors all over.

I was w/an out of town friend a month or so ago & she wanted to stop in the store. WOW. We were greeted by Zoe. They gave us a brief rundown. There were so many products, even stuff for my elderly cat. Zoe was very knowledgeable and we had no idea there were so many different reasons to use CBD. I left with around $200 of product and my friend brought stuff too. I absolutely love the CBD shampoo and conditioner. The cucumber olive oil shampoo has my favorite smell, franjipani (plumeria). My favorite product is the muscle oil. I bought the extra strength kind. My friend and I walk so much that day and Zoe told us to rub this on our legs. after we took a hot shower. I felt like a new person. It was absolutely amazing and worth every penny. I'm a little weirded out by the feel of oil on my hands so I mixed it with the body butter. I have the lavender one. I slept like a baby. I still enjoy what I call " the real stuff" but I've learned to incorporate CBD into my life. Zoe even gave tips on enhancing my euphoric feelings. This store is great, I love the products I've tried so far, and the staff is very knowledgeable. CBD is way more than I ever knew. CBD is not a replacement for the real thing but an enhancement as well as a supplement for overall body wellness. I'm hooked.

I was headed toward an actual dispensary and saw the signs on this shop. I popped in and chatted…read morepretty extensively with the person running the counter, eventually buying their recommendations. Previously, I had not heard of THCA, and the distinction was not explained to me here. After leaving, looking closely at the products (which were locked in a cabinet during purchase), and doing some googling, I realized that what I had purchased was not THC and is not regulated in a way that makes me comfortable. Based on the conversations I had with the store worker, they clearly knew that their products were not what I was looking for and were intentionally misleading during our interaction. I tried everything I bought, and it was all garbage. Threw away $200 of product. I'm willing to accept that I should do more research, but I was in a hurry and hoping to find a dispensary outside the usual larger chains. Live and learn. I won't be making that mistake again.
