Sprouts Farmers Market

California’s new grocery bag law is now in effect, meaning no plastic bags any more, only brown paper bags of 50% or greater, recycled material. The law further states a store must charge 10 cents for these bags. THIS IS the new law. However, they’re choosing not to go this route, but rather only to sell the more expensive, fancier reusable bags, and insist the law requires this. My problem here is that they lie and insist this is the requirement, and brown paper bags are no longer legal. This is not true, they’re choosing to only offer a more expensive option. Every other grocery store I’ve been to has simply switched from plastic to paper bags. Offer what you decide to offer, but be honest instead of arguing that I don’t know what I’m talking about, when I have the verbiage of the law in question in front of me on my phone screen. Dishonesty and overpricing are both disrespecting your customer. Sorry, you don’t deserve my business. Last night was the last time I’ll shop here, I’ll go to Whole foods from now on. Might be a slightly longer drive, but they’re cheaper, and the big difference is that they’re honest.

Always stocked, always a quick in and out. One of the guys was super nice and overheard my 4 yr old ask about the orange juice and he went in the back to get one for her. Then Hemely always smiling and fast and polite at the checkout. Why I love this store.

They do have the highest quality products Since I started going to this place I have never gone back to walmart and Costco

I love this store. It has a great selection of fresh products, lots of organic food, and very friendly staff who always help you find what you need🫶🩷

Sprouts location is near the La Mesa Village.. This is a nice area; Sprouts adds a lot of healthy alternatives for health minded shoppers. I like to get a sandwich at Sprouts as they make it to my specifications. I prefer the combo which includes potato salad or macaroni salad and water; all this for an exceptionally low price... I have noticed that the supplement section seems to be considerably overpriced to absurdly overpriced but I don't think that will necessarily discourage most shoppers that love, love, love Sprouts. Service is almost always better than the bigger markets and who knows maybe the food is a bit healthier. I love all the farmers market feel of Sprouts; colorful signage, well stocked displays, fast checkout service (almost always with a cashier that is ready to smile). Avocados were the highest I have seen in SoCal ($2 for their "large"... none ripe); the small ones (too small) were going for $.99 (I have bought better recently for $.39 at Aldi... I don't think Aldi stores have arrived in beautiful San Diego as of this writing.. I will have to check as Aldi Stores reflect actual market supply and demand pricing better than any store I have shopped in). I still love and shop Sprouts and I have for many years..

I love the La Mesa store! I do have one request. Can you please pressure-wash the East side of store. It is really filthy.

Life hack: thee best secret, fresh deli sandwiches at the best price. It's hidden, but you'll see a sign for fresh made sandwiches, that beat most sandwich chains, and are EBT SNAP eligible!
