You want milk from Central Valley feedlot herds with just enough room to step in the by-products of the cow next to them? Or do you want to cut a few streaming services and vices and shop where the inventory is much higher quality, fresher and heck, better for you? Then go to Sprouts. Incredibly clean, well stocked with quality products and very helpful, genuinely friendly staff. Yes, there are real sales. And there are many staples that are cheaper than the Green Place that used to be, er, pleasant to shop in. It's your choice. The same-old, same-old with the teaser sales and fake BOGO items. Or investing in foodstuffs that are better for you and your family? It's also a much more relaxed place to be. But hey, it's your choice. I'd say avoid Brussels sprouts though. They smell like the Palmetto High School boys locker room in November 1976 after that basketball game when Moe scored 48 points.

If you like being treated as though you're nothing during check out, this is the place for you…read more I've shopped here several times, only because it's the closest "health food store" and saves me an extra 30 minutes. They had growing pains at the start but for a while, really seemed to step it up. Not so much now. The produce selection is all right but expensive, especially if you're looking for organic. Store is clean and well lit. What continues to bother me is the spotty service. If you get someone on the right day at the right moment, they're helpful and friendly. If not, rude, moody, dismissive. This is not a one time occurrence, either. It's unlike anything I've experienced at a Sprouts anywhere else in the country, and I've shopped in their stores in California, Washington, Tennessee with regularity. I can only put this down to sloppy management. As a for instance, on checkout I had only one bag with me, and asked that my cold foods be placed in it because I had an hour's drive home and would put them in a cooler. There were enough groceries for four bags, including mine, but without bothering to make eye contact the checker asked if I wanted him to stuff it all in the one tiny Publix bag. I said no, so he put the cold things in there, then loaded two more bags, one with all my canned and bottled goods. I'm clearly not young, but when I said "I won't be able to lift that!" he said the apples would have made it heavier, so he'd bagged them with other things. No asking me if I wanted help loading the car. No offering another bag. No smile. One short eye contact after a direct question. The rotisserie chicken is among the saltiest I've ever had, which for a health conscious store is not great. Someone either isn't over-seeing the brining or leaving the chickens in the brine too long, because it's basically inedible. I'd take it back but for the lengthy drive; the gas would probably eat up my savings. I keep trying this Sprouts in the hope that they've become consistent, but they're not. In short, if you have a health-conscious store alternative - even a TJ's would be better - shop there.

I went to the one in…read moreB-ville and told them about the Wormwood-Black-Walnut oil tincture, which is an antiparasitic. But which caused me anxiety. They mentally threw my notes away. Why? They said they do not carry the product. I did no better at Spring Hill. I explained to them that they want to buy the Wormwood that has been stripped of thujone, because thujone is a psychoactive naturally-occurring ingredient. Which causes anxiety. Thujone is in absinthe. As in early European Bohemian 19th century artists going insane. Because I mentioned that I had also taken one (literally I did say "one") Allopurinol, she mentally discarded my notes also. You could almost see it go in one ear and out the other. I full expect them to go out and buy the wormwood oil tincture without the thujone removed EVEN THOUGH thujone-removal is an option in their industry. Except for this know-it-all attitude, they are otherwise pretty good, and definitely the only local option besides Gator Nutrition.
