text: WinCo is fairly close to me and my dad was really excited they were coming to the East Valley and especially near where we live However the prices are not all that inexpensive However they have a reasonably good bulk section which is why we come here and their prices for some of their deli stuff is better than Safeway which is usually where we go for things like chicken strips fried chicken wedges WinCos stuff tastes good and it is much better pricing for thatnnWe buy protein powder and it is about lb less than Sprouts for their whey protein We love that they carry spices in bulk and you can get what you want which saves us money toonnEveryone that we have dealt with at WinCo has been super friendly and helpful The store is spacious and clean nnThe only downside is that some of their prices are competitive but since they have no weekly ads it is hard for them to compete with Frys and the stores that sometimes have killer weekly specials If they did do this then they might attract even more customersnnEven though they have a thing that says you can buy in bulk without the membership fees Costco still does have better pricing on a number of things that far surpasses the extra pricing you would pay for a basic membership at Costco
