Cooking & Baking

For years I had been telling our daughter in Phoenix that she needed to go there. Well she moved to a new neighborhood, and the closest store is ..WINCO! She loves it! Now she doesn't go anywhere else.

They buy meat in large pieces and cut it themselves into steaks or whatever (such as Brisket, ribs, steaks, etc.) The meat prices are very good. The only thing they have been disappointed in was the fish/seafood. This may be an issue with just this one store, though. We don't buy fish so can't compare.

I have been quite satisfied with the produce. Generally, they have the best prices on eggs and dairy products. Their bulk area is fairly large, with a decent selection of spices (weigh it yourself and save $$) and lots of pasta, rice and baking ingredients. They have the tricolored popcorn in the bulk area, and it is far less expensive than anywhere else you can find it.

Over all unless you want something very unusual or brand specific Winco is a great place to shop.
