The minute you step into a Sprout’s Farmer’s Market, you know you’re about to have a grocery shopping experience like never before. Shoppers have become borderline obsessed with certain products ($5 deli sandwich, we’re looking at you), and honestly, it’s not a surprise at all. Walk through their aisles and you’ll quickly see what sets Sprouts apart from other grocery retailers. When you walk in, the first thing you see is the unbelievable selection of seasonal produce. It’s the centerpiece of the store, and it represents some of the qualities Sprouts cares most about: Quality foods, accessibility, and a sense of community that can be in even the smallest details of the store.
From healthy snacks that actually taste good (shocking, I know) to unique finds from small businesses that you can’t get anywhere else, Sprouts has quietly built a reputation for curating products that develop serious food followings. These aren’t always items that just sell well; they’re products that have been hand-selected and vetted by the Sprouts team so you can ensure you’re only eating items with quality ingredients. Whether you’re a Sprouts regular or new to the unique grocer, these are the must-have items that shoppers adore and they deserve a place on your next shopping list.

With premium deli products, you can build the sandwich of your dreams or choose from one of their ready-made selections in the refrigerated section for just $5.

Sprouts Soup

OK, I promise the refrigerated section isn’t the only area of Sprouts packed with must-have goodies, but make sure to try some of the house-made soups (especially during colder months!). The Broccoli Cheddar is my personal favorite (and dare I say, it’s even better than Whole Foods’), but they also have traditional Mexican pozole, chicken noodle, tomato basil, and many more.

Bulk Section

You can save money by utilizing his section to purchase items you use frequently like oats and nuts, but you can also bring and use your own refillable jars to make the whole process environmentally friendly as well.

Bulk Spices

You know when a recipe calls for two teaspoons of a spice you’ve never used before, and the spice costs like $10 at the grocery store, instead of buying a whole bottle of something you probably won’t use again, you can head to Sprouts and pay for just the amount of spice you need. This is especially handy during holiday baking season!

Pies

Their cherry pie is the star of Sprouts’ bakery section, but they also offer half-pies (perfect for smaller households), cookies, breads and rolls, and ton sof other sweet treats that deserve a spot on your shopping list.

Pre-Made Meals

I have tried a lot of pre-made dishes from a lot of grocery store chains, and I can say that without a doubt, Sprouts has the absolute best selection. Whether you want an easy pasta meal or a $5 pizza kit, Sprouts has options for you to choose from. You can also buy main courses like roasted meats, and inidivula isde dishes, or if you want the easiest option, Sprouts also offers complete meal kits that have the main course and some sides for truly stress-free meal prep.

Coconut Cult Yogurt
While not exclusive to Sprouts, the probiotic coconut yogurt that has taken the internet by storm is one of the most popular items for shoppers to grab at Sprouts.

Sushi

I know, you’ve probably been hurt by terrible grocery store sushi in the past, but as a self-proclaimed sushi connoisseur, I wholeheartedly say that Sprouts has better sushi than several sushi restaurants I’ve tried. And to make it an even better deal, Sprouts offers Sushi Wednesdays, where housemade rolls are only $5! If you’ve ever ordered sushi before, you know that is a ridiculously low price for a full roll. So you may want to make Wednesdays your official Sprouts shopping day.

Fresh Produce

Unlike traditional grocery stores, Sprouts is set up so that the fresh produce is the star of every store, and it’s usually the first section you see when you walk in. Sprouts puts more care and consideration into their fresh produce than most other grocers, and often has personal relationships with the farmers and vendors who supply the fresh produce. All of the produce is seasonal, meaning you can shop the items when they’re at their peak, and Sprouts dedication to quality produce is truly unmatched so you know you’re always getting the best of the best.
