The one in Lynnwood recently opened and man were they busy! My mom said she
was pleased to see almost every customer reading the food labels. I pointed
out to here that quite a few of the customers who shop in there have food
allergies or celiac. I know because I see many people picking up the gluten
free things and one lady was looking for the dairy free cheese just like I
was. Oddly that was located not with the other cheeses but with the yogurt.

My big mistake while I was in there was not paying much mind to the prices.
I did pick up some pasta because it was at a very good price and was a good
pasta. But I should have really paid attention to the prices of the other
things. The end result was 4 bags, one which wasn't even full and the total
was $165.00. I did not even purchase any meat unless you count the single
serve chicken pot pie or the kid's snack that includes diced chicken or
turkey (not sure which) cheese and think baby carrots. I did pick up two
kinds of goat cheese which I didn't really want after I found the dairy free
cheese but... I didn't want to have to trek all the way across the store to
put it back. Those two cases are at the total opposite ends of the store.
The reason I didn't see the dairy free stuff to begin with was that there
was a man stocking stuff there and his big cart was smack in the way. They
did seem to have to do a lot of stocking because the store was so busy.

Daughter picked up three bags of rice chips that I'm sure were cheaper at
any other store. And I was able to get the Newman's Own high protein
pretzels that no other store seems to carry on a regular basis.

We also got two cup salads that I will never buy again. For the price of
those two I could make salad for 20 people or more!

Next time I will be a lot more selective and stick to things like the vegan
mac and cheese and the dairy free cheeses that I can't get elsewhere. Now
that my daughter can have wheat there is far less need to shop there.
