Maybe you’re an old pro at shopping Sprouts Farmers Market. Or, maybe, just maybe you’re like me and you’ve recently discovered Sprouts supermarket. I know, I know. Where have I been?! The truth is, that Sprouts is actually still pretty new to the Pacific Northwest. In fact, there’s only one store open right now north of Seattle, but in just about 3 weeks, everything will be changing. Sprouts will be opening up their second Washington location in Lynnwood on February 6th!
Disclosure: Thanks to Sprouts Farmers Market for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.
If you walk into Sprouts and get overwhelmed, I feel you. My first shopping trip was a little bit of a shock (in the best way possible!) because there was just SO much to see. The good news is that you’ve come to the right place because I crowdsourced and asked my readers and followers for their top recommendations on what to buy at Sprouts, and they delivered. Even better, I have some great tips and tricks from Sprouts themselves on how to save BIG next shopping trip.

Try Before You Buy at Sprouts

Something else that you will notice is that produce is prominently displayed at the center of the store. Among staples like apples, citrus,
Scoop up Big Savings in the Bulk Department
The bulk bin was the first category in my grocery shopping list suggestions and for good reason! You can save BIG by shopping by the ounce or pound on staples like grains, granolas, spices, nuts, sweets and much, much more. Don’t need a whole lot of something? No problem! Buy as little as you need, or as much as you want. Less packaging in the Bulk Department means that more savings get passed on to you!
PRO TIP: Trying to be more eco-conscious? Bring your own container for bulk foods. Just have a Sprouts team member weigh it before you fill it up!

I have been doing a survey on organic whole chickens. I’ve tried Publix, Whole Foods, Aldi’s, BJ’s, and Sam;s Club as well as Spouts. Sprouts won hands down for the best quality, most tender and moist whole chickens. Their price is higher at about $13 for a whole organic 4 lb chicken, but it is worth the extra money!
They have an awesome vitamin/supplement department. Sprouts has clerks who are trained to help you and recommend supplements. You can go in looking for natural supplements for anything and they can guide you. They are truly amazing!
