Fresh & Easy

Fresh & Easy is clean and quiet, and within walking distance from my apartment. The store makes fresh and healthy foods easy to shop for, but the prices are higher. I compared some of the prices with foods that I regularly buy at Sprouts, and they were about $ 0.50 to $ 0.75 more expensive per item. Plus, the store didn’t have as many sales as Sprouts. I’ll probably continue going to Sprouts rather than Fresh & Easy, especially because Sprouts is only a few minutes away from this location, and also offers health foods.
On another note, I liked how Fresh & Easy had a huge section for juices and other healthy drinks. They neatly stock their produce and their food items — the organization of the items and the convenience of the location was a plus.

This location is great for me to run in and get what I need. I work odd late hours and it’s helpful to have a place I can get what I need and get out. Prices are average, the markdowns are good. They tend to run out of vegetarian frozen items, but the staff is helpful. Very quiet compared to other stores.

When I’m in a rush and I don’t have too much time, I pop in here. They have the basics and the prices are reasonable. The store is always clean and I haven’t had a staff member be rude. They are always helpful if you have any questions. Lines aren’t long or I’ve just been really lucky!

Just moved to area. Been by Saturday night and last night to pick up fast easy meals. I’ve been a shopper at fresh n easy for awhile in Scottsdale. The lady working at this location is so nice. She remembered me and is just a great persona. Wish I remembered to get her name to give her props!

I stopped shopping at Fresh & Easy earlier this year after the change in ownership of the company. They got rid of the $ 5, $ 10, etc coupons and increased all of their prices. The only coupons they send out now are for things you don’t actually buy– I get that they’re trying to get you to try new things, but I want coupons for things I actually need. The entire emphasis of the store has shifted toward being about ready-​made and to-​go meals.

Fresh & Easy, Trader Joe’s & Sprouts are my favorite specialty food stores. What I can’t find at Trader’s, I can typically find at F&E. I find F&E is typically more conveniently located throughout the valley too. I would also say F&E’s prices are pretty comparable to Trader Joe’s.

I used to come to this store at least every other week so it saddens me to write that the prices have changed recently. Sadly, after the company was sold, the prices have systematically gone up for everything that I used to buy there. Also notably missing are the $ 5 off coupons and mobile app coupons. While I prefer a couple of their house brand items over Sprouts and Trader Joe’s, the prices have gone up enough to make me drive by and shop elsewhere. I may still stop if I’m in the area since their clearance section usually has some good buys, but that will be the extent of my shopping. If your budget is not a concern then I recommend their house brand nuts, crackers, pasta, yogurt, meat, and bread. The employees at this location are also very friendly and helpful.

I lived walking distance between Basha’s and Fresh And Easy, and found myself going to Fresh And Easy more and more
There are two main reasons I’ll go here over Basha’s. One is their clearance areas. There are seperate clearance areas for dry, frozen, and cooler. I generally can find great values on vegetables, hummus, various pasta salads, and breads. It’s perfect if you’re like me and tend to mainly buy food that I’m going to eat today or tomorrow
The other reason to go is the cheap beer. I’m not sure if it’s an exclusive brand to them, but the Taurino Cerveza is very good and very comparable to Corona. An 18pk of cans is usually $ 10 – 11 dollars, and seems every few weeks it’ll be on sale for $ 8.99
They also have a beer called Steel Kettle which comes in regular and lite, but that’s more of a last resort. Cheep as hell though. Norally $ 6.99 for a 12pk of cans, and seems every few weeks it’s on sale for $ 5.99
As for wine, like Trader Joes, they stock a few different kinds of $ 2.99 wines. There’s one with a big surfboard on it that is pretty good for cheap wine

I love F&E. they have really good fresh food for reasonable prices.
Today I ran in and picked up some hummus, garlic naan and a few other items.
I like that you check yourself out, but there is always someone their in case you need help.

Came here for a quick stop yesterday on my way home from lunch.
It is always good to shop for food after you have eaten because, you are not as likely to buy things you do not want or need.
I managed to get out or here for less than $ 20.00, very good for me you know.
Of course we all really like Fresh and esy around here.
It is quick and easy and I am sorry they are going out of bussiness.
I always find something here that I like and want.
My girlfriend likes all the British food they have to offer.
I myself am not too crazy about it, but since she grew up on that stuff she loves it!
She says it is one of the best places to buy it (here at F & E).
Great vegetables and fruit, good prices. Quick and Easy. What more could you ask for. Parking is a breeze as well.

Used to come here all the time to get groceries. I love their 99cent packs, but have a hard time finding a huge selection of vegetarian brands (easy frozen meals and such). Safeway offers more of the frozen foods I need, but for the days I want to spend in the kitche, «Freezy» is the best.

My quick summary: Great food, good prices, but lacking in service.
I love the F&E brand. My fiancé & I have been shopping with them for a couple years now. We recently moved close to this location, and find it lacking compared to their other stores.
The food is great. It’s always fresh & the F&E brand doesn’t use any additives or preservatives. So not only are you eating well, but you’re eating well for a great price. The food isn’t expensive, which is hard to find for more organic foods. And their friends program makes even better. They give you money back, you can load coupons directly onto your friends card, and they send you coupons every week.
However, this location’s customer service is lacking, especially at check out. It drives us crazy, because even if there’s no one else checking out, they hardly ever offer to help with that. They have offered a total of two time. And both time we’d pretty much finished bagging already, so thanks, but no thanks. Other stores have employees that jump right in & start helping before you’ve scanned three items, intead of towards the end of a basket full of groceries. If they could focus more on this, the experience would be a thousand times better.
My only other complaint is the gluten free section. It’s a bit lacking. I love to make baked goods from scratch, and they do not carry enough gluten free flour options for one-​stop shopping. Considering their brand is really focused on healthy options, etc, I find it a bit surprising that they do not offer more options. Their website does list all their gluten free food, but it’s hard to bake from scratch when you have no tapioca flour or millet flour, etc.

I am pretty loyal to my Trader Joe’s, buying most of my groceries there. For the 30% of things that aren’t at Trader Joe’s, I get about half of them from Fresh & Easy.
The good? The prices! Fresh & Easy offers great prices on so many items. Combine that with the coupons you frequently get in the paper or online for $ 5 off $ 25, $ 6 off $ 30 or $ 10 off $ 50 and you can save a lot of bucks. Around the holidays they even had a $ 12 off $ 50, which I readily used.
The newly introduced Friends card also saves me a LOT of money. It is a little user-​demanding because you can’t get the bonus points unless you select them on the website BEFORE your shopping trip. You essentially pick a total of 6 coupons for bonus points, 3 from each of two lists of specials on their website. Then on those purchases, you receive a set amount of points (either a # x the price or something like 500 extra points per/​ea). Sounds complicated, but it is really easy… as long as you have the time to plan out your shopping list. Use the points for DOLLARS OFF your next shopping order when you have amassed 500 points or more.
They have many vegetables in 99 cent packs. They also have a bargain cooler that is often filled with 50% off (or more) items like steaks you need to cook that night or salads with today’s sell by date.
Fresh & Easy = Value.
And the best part about Fresh & Easy is that they are true to their name!
The not so good?
Of course, like Trader Joe’s, they don’t have EVERYTHING on your list. You won’t find all the brands you’re looking for.
But they might have items you can’t find anywhere else. If you’re British… they have an excellent selection of favorites like Bisto gravy (a must) or Heinz canned beans (in tomato sauce, natch). They even have British-​style bacon (which is not like our American bacon, from what my friends who are pork-​eaters tell me). You will recognize that Fresh & Easy is owned by the Tesco corporation, for sure.
Oh, and they have one of the best selections of canned vegetables and legumes with No Salt Added. That is a MUST in my cooking, so I often load up with a dozen or more cans every trip. No Salt Added is often hard to find at other stores.
In conclusion, I like ‘em. Try ‘em out. You might just like ‘em, too. ;)

As a single person I find Fresh & Easy the ideal market for me. My first stop is always the discount bin to plan my nightly, or next few nights, dinner. My favorite time to shop is Saturday and Sunday mornings since the discount bin have more meat in it and I can bring it home immediately vacuum pack and store for later use.
The Italian bread is to die for. YUM. Love the addition of the in house bakery.
I routinely buy the F&E frozen entrees ($ 1.99) to bring to work. (think lean cuisine)
Great cheese selection as well at better prices then Fry’s or Safeway.
The dog food I buy for my dogs (not a big selection but they carry what I feed them) is $ 2 cheaper then Fry’s and Safeway and to top it off the dog treats are all natural and a great price.
Yes the store may be small but keep in mind just about all you need is in the store. I think I venture to Fry’s about every 6 weeks to replenish the Blueberry Pop Tarts I keep at work for a quick snack. F&E has Pop Tarts and cheaper then Fry’s but not my favorite Blueberry flavor.

This is my favorite market. The store is clean, the food is fresh and the people are very friendly.

I simply LOVE Fresh & Easy. I find myself going there, more than my other favorite grocery store, Frys. Especially, the discounted section. They always have great deals. Check them out.

Big fan. Great prices. Produce isn’t always the best — but I don’t shop here for the produce. The workers are SO nice. They are always pointing out things that are being marked down and giving me coupons. They seem happy with their jobs.
Prices on Fresh & Easy brands or brands that only Fresh & Easy carry are incredibly good — lite coconut milk for $ 1.09? yes please.
I’ve tried several of their pre-​marinated meat selections — buffalo wings and a whole chicken with lemon and herbs. Both were top notch.
