Ever since Sprouts took over Sunflower, it has sucked. Big time. Their products are either no longer there or there is an empty space on the shelf where it should be. It's pissing me off. I go there, pay more money for basic groceries, and find out the item I came there specifically for is not available. It makes me so angry! I composed an email to Sprouts corporate, and the store manager Tony Duval contacted me directly. You can email him ST20MANAGER@sprouts.com to voice your concerns too. Please do it! He's asked that I send him a list of the products I'd like to see in his store. This is the list I've put together. Some of these items they already have, others they don't. I'm hoping they add the items they don't have, and then, GASP, I may be able to shop at one store. I can't even think about it. That would be so nice.

For Christmas, Ryan and I finally broke down and bought a Vitamix. We bought the general all purpose wet blender as well as the dry blender. It cost a million dollars, but, BUT, we can now grind our own flours. Ryan is so happy about being able to buy 20 pounds of brown rice without me complaining. Much. If anyone wants to bring over their brown rice and give it a whirl, you're more than welcome. I've thought about buying sorghum pearls to to grind my own sorghum flour. We'll see . . . I'm lazy. And tired.
