This new grocery store is a great addition to the healthier food industry. Fresh & Easy has a smaller scale of items and simple variety. They have just enough items to make sure you fulfill your shopping list, but they don’t overwhelm you with tons of variety. The name of the store is exactly what they are doing, providing fresh produce and food is prepared daily without preservatives. I like Fresh & Easy’s own line of products, such as their Blue Corn & Chili Lime Crackers … these are spicy little crackers with a jalapeno twist.

They have some excellent meal ideas too. I really enjoyed their large carne burrito; microwave and you’re ready to eat. They also have meals on the go, pre-prepped and easily heated for lunch. And they are only $3.99-4.49.

Fresh & Easy also has a neighborhood-friendly policy, where they limit the number to deliveries to a store to reduce noise, traffic and disruptions in local neighborhoods. Such as delivering late at night when homes are near by. They also has routes that stay clear of school zones during drop-off and pick-up times.

I definelty enjoyed my experience and I will be going back as much as I can.
