I really enjoy the salad bar being back from Covid, I missed hitting that after my workout for a lunch. They keep it cleaned and stocked, which can be hard to keep a salad bar looking nice and I really appreciate it. Coming from someone who almost died of food poisoning somewhere else, I can't stress enough the thankfulness for a clean store!!!

Employee Owned... WinCo!…read more That's a great opening isn't it? And it's a good reason to choose this store. This WinCo on 102nd Ave seems to be humming along, since we lost the Gateway Freddy's across the street, this has been our grocery store. We find the WinCo produce and bulk foods to be a couple of the high points. We also got excellent rock fish! The best thing? The employees are pretty cool. We know a few of them by name, it's a great crew. You can clearly see that they are on it. The store just got a remodel, and it looks fine. They dropped self check-out a while ago, and now check-out with human check-out people. Surprisingly, the check-out goes pretty well and it seems they stay aware as the crowd changes. Tip: They do not accept credit cards, but debit cards are good. Parking is easy and there is an electric car charging station in their lot. Take a look at my WinCo photos...

Not my regular grocery store because I prefer smaller footprints where I can get in and out…read morequickly. But for those shopping for a family, it's worth coming here because prices are definitely better than big box grocery chains. The aisles are sooooo long, deliberately, so you have to walk past all the items, hopefully igniting spontaneous purchases. The strategy works! Yesterday I picked up a big jar of pepperocini and several bottles of Goldens Spicy mustard because I saw them, and noticed the prices were much less than what I typically pay. I do like the bulk area so you can buy the quantities you want rather than large packages of specialty items. The cashier I had deserves a raise! She busted through the line, ringing everyone up quickly, and even catching the wrong item numbers written on a different customer's bulk bags and corrected them. All with a smile. Lots of parking out front, convenient location.

Summertime rolls...Jane's Addiction harmony in my head…read more On a holiday in the sun like Weezer in the lovely Pacific NW in the Summertime decided to do a yatra aka pilgrimage to People's Co-op. I lived walking distance from People's Co-op circa 2004 where I lived right across from the now defunct all vegan coffeeshop aka Red and Black. In 2004-2005 I was a working member cleaning the bulk bins as my seva aka service. This is where I first started teaching yoga at the community room upstairs at People's Co-op. Dusty started the program that sadly is no longer currently active. They had some great classes there and have fond memories of a Iyenger influenced yoga teacher that taught classes I liked. This was when I was teaching classical hatha yoga and had not yet shifted my yoga teaching to the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition. Fast forward to the moment of Jun 20223. It's the return and went to People's Co-op. It still is an amazing place. They have a farmer's market here every Wed. Their bulk selection is amazing (see my photos) and so is there produce. Friendly and helpful staff. Afterwards go to Belmont for heaps of plant based, vegetable forward, tasty, amazing vegan restaurants and food trucks that are amazing. Vegan bars, vegan food trucks, innovative vegan restaurants like Fermenter, and more that will satisfy all folks who follow whatever diet from vegan to paleo to gluten-free to omnivore.

WinCo on 82nd in Happy Valley where do you even begin? Once you've tasted the sweet victory of…read moresaving a buck and walking out with quality goods, it ruins you for every other store. You stroll into some fancy chain for "ordinary things," and boom prices double like they're auditioning for a magic show. WinCo keeps it real. Sure, you've got to bag your own groceries, but honestly, that's just a small workout to justify the snacks you're about to buy. A little lift, a little laugh, and a whole lot of savings now that's my kind of cardio. Parking? Yeah, it's a circus out there. I don't even mess with the middle lanes those are for people braver than me. I slide to one end, swoop in like a grocery ninja, and grab all the good stuff before the crowd remembers what they forgot. It's close to my house, the products are solid, and the deals are the real deal. If you like your wallet thick and your pantry stocked, WinCo is the place no rhyme intended, but hey, the savings always do.

Unlike, say, a shop that sells fragrances, where your senses are assaulted when you walk in, Penzey's keeps their samples in airtight glass containers, so you can browse with your eyes, and then open individual jars to see how they smell. Products are well labeled, and wandering around is always a pleasure. When we inquired about one item that we had not spotted, one of the associates immediately came out from behind the central checkout counter to escort us to the desired item. Whether it's for everyday items you want in your kitchen, or an unexpected impulse purchase, Penzey's is always a fun stop.

Since the destruction rise and ongoing onslaughts of MAGA, Penzeys Spices is one of the few businesses bravely remaining steadfast with their commitment of care to their customers and the community they serve instead of craving under the pressure to move toward authoritarianism. I recently purchased their Hug Blanket, $24.95 for myself to continue showing them support! I have been using it everyday on my couch. I also bought spices for friends who cook since I love eating out. I didn't earn Yelp Elite status for cooking. Please support them however you can. We need business like this to thrive. The location on Happy Valley is roomy and inviting!
