Stopped in while waiting for a table at Aga's…read more What a treat! I really love checking out grocery stores. In fact, on travels abroad, I love to bring back local treats like packages of jelly, pesto, candy, coffees and tea that I buy at grocery stores. Vishala Grocery reminds me of grocery shopping on vacations overseas. So many amazing finds. Need ghee? Tandoori spices? Biryani seasoning? A huge bag of cardamom? They've got it and lots more! Their selection of fruits and vegetables look so fresh. Thirsty? Grab a fresh fruit juice in a glass bottle. I could have used this grocery store for stocking up for all of those virtual Yelp cooking classes a few years ago where we made chana masala, chapati, butter chicken and mango chutney. I miss those classes!! Parking is plentiful in the Aga's parking lot. The store is very clean and organized. They are open until 9 PM. Will definitely be back to shop for more treats.

I have been wanting to shop at this Vishala Grocery Store at Sugar Park Plaza since it opened last…read moreyear. I was so excited to see an Indian grocery store next to Aga's restaurant. Perfect location. It's easy access to Freeway 59 aka Highway 69 and Murphy Road. I usually shop at the Vishala Grocery in Gandhi District because it's near my house. Now, I see this one is actually faster to get to because of the freeway. Parking is no problem but some days when there's an event going on at Aga's, it would be a bit of challenging. I was here to buy something to add to my weekly shopping list. Employees are always friendly. I'll be back to get other stuff soon.

This Whole Foods location in Sugar Land is one of my favorite grocery stores for fresh produce,…read morebakery items, organic foods, specialty diets, and high-quality meat and eggs. If you're looking for gluten-free, vegan, or other specialty products, the selection here is excellent. The store is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking, and the staff have always been friendly and helpful. A nice bonus is the Amazon return counter inside the store. You can bring eligible Amazon returns without packaging, and they handle the rest. One thing I wanted to mention for anyone trying to take advantage of the current Amazon Prime ice cream promotion (50% off pints through July 7): this location has had ongoing ice cream issues. I visited twice recently and found the freezers completely empty both times. On one visit, staff said they were waiting on a shipment; on the next visit, they explained that the freezer had broken and posted a sign stating that no ice cream pints were available for sale. So if you're specifically coming for the ice cream deal, I'd recommend calling ahead first or checking another Whole Foods location. Aside from that issue, it's still a great store and a very convenient Whole Foods for the Sugar Land area.

This is one of my favorite stores that's becoming unfortunately impossible for me to shop at…read morefinancially. While, I love the abundant selection, the open salad bar, the open soup bar... There just is nothing so overwhelming that the price per pound should be as high as it is. Salad bar items are 11.99 a pound. Olive bar, I would expect to be higher but not 11.99 as well. I completely understand and it's very well known that because of its organic food selections and quality that Whole Foods does selectively market to a higher economic demographic that is less price sensitive. However, I am in that upper demographic and I'm getting distracted by getting a salad and some olives and walking out of the store with a $35 bill. At this price, I can just eat at a restaurant, and a decent one at that.

As an innately indecisive shopper who can spend hours fumbling around a large supermarket…read morequestioning the best products, I love the concise nature of ALDI. There are no big name brands and it is very quick grab-and-go. However, they don't skimp on quality either as there are numerous healthy and organic products for all diets and lifestyles! The quarter cart system is brilliant by helping reduce costs and keep everyone accountable to return them neatly. You will need your own grocery bags as they do not provide them for free. The store itself is pretty small, about 4-5 aisles, but has about everything you need! There's even an eclectic miscellaneous aisle with interesting home goods Here are some of my favorite random ALDI products: berries, mushrooms, sprouted grain bread, assorted cheap spices, soybean/edamame noodles, cauliflower crackers, pea snacks, chickpea snacks, black bean chipotle burger, vegetable chips, etc. As you can see, I love my ALDI snacks, and they have so many unique food finds!! I love how healthy they are too. They have this store brand called simply nature that has all natural simple ingredients; I adore everything under this brand. They also have their version of halo-esque protein ice cream that is delish! COVID UPDATE: they have protective barriers and the carts were free. There is social distancing in place.

This is usually a great store but the items I was in search of were not there. Other familiar items…read morewere priced higher than at competitors. Not too sure of the service for no one spoke to and/or with me. I did not check out for none of the items I can to obtain were palatable.

Frequented by HEBron James and HEBber Locklear…read more The only thing I bass this on is FLEA But Barbie's my princess, and I need to PEE Especially after an OJ or THREE From HEB for about five FIFTY The clientele here are BOURGEOISIE And they consume more pastries than the Houston PD And I hate the way the night managers act ANGRILY But we still always shop at the HEB! Pretty good location of the HEB, which is the Texas flagship grocery store, much as Whataburger is the flagship fast food. Their produce is often good, decently priced, the juices are excellent and fresh squeezed. It's like a cheaper Wegmans, if you will. This HEB is in a rough neighbourhood, ish, and has iffy service and is a little less intimate than the one near us in Montrose, but both have service issues, honestly, and this one probably less so. All in all, I give them a good solid 3 stars.

Did you know I used to spent over $80 a week prior to covid pandemic? Of course, my grocery bills…read morewent up in recent years because of inflation. On July 29, 2023, I came to do a special shopping trip because I was hosting a brunch party. After I got home, I found one of the cantaloupes was not in my bags. I called the store and I was offered for a refund. Right before I was about to prepare salsa... I couldn't find my tomatoes and onions. OMG. I think the cashier didn't put one bag in my cart. She did exactly to the customer before me. Then, someone chased him down. But no one let me know that I left a bag behind. My solution: I won't buy more than 9 items. I have been using the self-checkout line ever since. To avoid situation like this. I have been doing major shopping at Kroger's. I would rather pay little more for better service and respect I deserve. I hate to be cheated on my hard-earned money by H‑E‑B cashiers. I have been shopping at this H-E-B for over 17 years. This was how they treated me.
