Winco Girl Rach

Since we began this family health challenge nearly six weeks ago, I have been truly converted to WINCO to purchase all the foods necessary for this diet. It was my first time shopping there when I went to prepare for week 1. Now it is my grocery of choice, and the only place I'll go! Here are the benefits of Winco, and why I am a Winco Gal:

1) The bins in the back. Pastas, beans, flax seeds, nuts, dried fruits, cereals, oats, you name it. It's all back there and besides it being kinda fun to pick out your own natural foods, it is significantly cheaper to buy from the bins.

2) Fresh ground almond butter and peanut butter. You push the little button that grinds the nuts before your very eyes. Jon and I are obsessed with almond butter now. SO GOOD. And again, way less expensive than buying pre-canned almond butter!

3) Produce. They have great prices in this section, and that makes such a difference when you have to buy green lettuce, fruit, tomatoes, broccoli, etc. every week!

4) Overall pricing of items in general. I have been comparing with Costco and Smiths. Winco is winning!

5) It is such a clean and professional environment. It feels cleaner to me than any other grocery store, which really does make a difference for me.

6) It is never as crowded as Walmart, Smith's Costco, or Macey's. You can actually park close to the front doors!

7) It's almost like a really great secret of Provo/Orem. And one of the best kept ones at that. Therefore, I will only reveal to you, you awesome Dittos!! Just cuz I love ya. Seriously though, I am converted and I think it's been THE place to shop for this health challenge. (And THE place to shop for the rest of my life!)

And that's the end. Who knew I would become so opinionated about a grocery store. Really. I guess that's how great Winco is!
