Star Market

Right now at star market, you can SHOP to CHOP! Earn stamps for fun cuisinaire utensils, like chopping knives. Woot woot! 1 stamp for every $ 10. I already earned the kitchen scissors! Nice and sharp.
Plus, this particular grocery store, though smaller than some, is VERY clean and I’ve never seen it very busy. You can pick up a bagel and a coffee to kick off your ventures in shopping and weave your way through produce, deli, bakery, Italian, organics, shop-​the-​world, condiments, grab your meats, head down granola bars, cereal, get some paper goods and the bad candy/​salty things, bacon, creamers, frozen dinners, milk, oj, bread, yogurt, cheese, eggs, and swing around for baby needs… Yes, in that order because I’ve memorized the layout for the shop. Woot!
If you want fresh pizza dough, it’s actually near produce/​flowers and the deli. Good stuff.

For a giant grocery store with plentiful options when it comes to grab and go foods and most everything else, this location’s produce is AWFUL. I couldn’t find one cucumber which hadn’t been nicked or punctured, most of the tomatoes looked like they’d been in a fight. Corn on the cob I bought actually had a weird disinfectant type taste and I threw it out. Again, the variety is great at this location, but the produce section was so disappointing it had to be noted here.

This five star is for their great bakery department. They tempt you with some kind of sample by their counter, then you are hooked. They had sugar cookie out today, I don’t care for sugar cookie, it looked so pretty with all the fancy frosting that I had to try it and ended up eating the whole cookie! Got this cinnamon chip muffin from them. I had never seen this in any other location. Another muffin that’s absolutely awesome. The grocery store is good but it’s really the bakery that draws me to star markets.
