Fresh Thyme is a reliable grocery store in Prospect Park with a wide selection of groceries, meats,…read morehot ready-to-eat foods, and snacks. Their prices are relatively reasonable - cheaper than Lunds - more similar to Cub. The staff are quite friendly and nice, and there are often pretty good sales going on. I have found some good prices on meat and seafoods when these deals are happening - such as crab meat, steaks, etc. All their produce and meats are fresh, but their regular prices can definitely be overpriced for certain ingredients, and sometimes they are not selling or sold out of some rather key ingredients.

Fresh Thyme is still one of the most wonderful places in St. Louis Park as far as I am concerned…read more I can count on them to have amazing products of all kinds, including an excellent selection of supplements and functional beverages. They have some fantastic alcohol alternatives, including kava and CBD (including--hooray!--THC-free options) for those in need of chill in a can. Today, though, I want to focus on why I will be making many more visits for the foreseeable future. My friends, the Andes Gifts textiles are in. I repeat: Andes Gifts knitted goods are in! If you know, you know. If you don't, let me tell you. These fair-trade knitted accessories are not only warm as heck (thanks to the fleece-lined alpaca) but also absolutely darling. With everything from headbands to flippers to socks, you will find something to keep your extremities toasty. I personally favor the animal hats (and have purchased at least a dozen over the years). Available in sizes for kids and adults, these unique hats are guaranteed to get you smiles and giggles when gifted (or worn). New this year are knitted hand puppets that I am absolutely going to use as mittens, because life is too short to not do the little things that delight you.

I'm not much for impulsive stop ins. I was a late Fresh Thyme fan as there were so few of them and…read morethey were not located near by. I was in SLP and in front of the FTM and decided to browse for salad bags and found the biggest selection at reasonable prices. The store is large, easy to access and see what you want next by scanning across the floor. It's a quiet atmosphere with the canned music playing softly. Easy self check out

I originally came in because they promoting a "Holiday Gathering Open House" with free samples,…read moremusic & more. I was there for a unique content opportunity- for the event. When I walked in it seemed like a very regular day. They did have 3 sample stands around the store but were a bit lackluster overall, nothing special. I did ask a staff about it and worked my way up to management - who basically said what they have is all they are doing for the event - due to staff call outs. Essentially there was no event taking place. I did browse around a bit and ended up grabbing a few items. Seemed like they had great deals and some items you can't really get at other stores. They sell baba's hummus, which I love. The produce looked good and they generally had a lot to offer as a smaller grocery store. I do like that they mostly group items together so you can see all options in one place, like gluten free crackers and next to regular crackers. Same with some dairy free options for other items. They have a ton of parking and if you park underground in the ramp they have a cart ramp to get your items down easier.

Excellent farmers market with tons of organic products at a relatively affordable price…read more Well I mean, with the all of the markdowns it's affordable lol. I was able to catch a huge sale on some hen eggs. I've never eaten a hen egg ever and I'm stoked to see what it tastes like. They are normally $5.99 a dozen but it was BOGO so you know I had to jump on that. Then they had organic eggs for $2.99 a dozen. Now I'm staying at a hotel with a kitchen and just bought 4 dozen of eggs. Guess I'll be making every kind of egg meal I can think of. I most certainly will return here because I love the selections and amount of products they offer aside from groceries. There's a large vitamin section with protein powders and shakes. They have a fresh bakery and deli section too. Very nice place!

I waited for her to scan everything at self checkout and put in paper bags and it took forever. The rotating plastic bag carousel is in the way so there's no place to put paper bags to load them up. Not very well thought out by Fresh Thyme. The lady should've opened up the register and check me out like. I'll never come back to this location when I'm buying a cart full of stuff.

Highly recommend checking his place out, it's way better than the co-op nearby.

I LOVE shopping at Trader Joe's but hated the parking situation at this location…read more The food, drink and flower selections are phenomenal and have great value! I especially love Villa Elena wine, frozen chocolate croissants, and frozen orange chicken. I DO NOT recommend their Filipino Adobo inspired frozen meals. I LOVE chicken adobo and was so excited to try it... but it was horrid. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance is great except for the previously mentioned parking situation because of the very few parking spots near the front door, and the difficult underground parking ramp. Sorry, I have to take away a star because of the parking.

I typically love Trader Joe's.......still do, but I am disappointed. I purchased garden roses…read more(beautiful flowers) for a gathering I was having at my apt and asked a staff member how long they would last - "approximately 7 days". My event was in 3 days so I assumed this would work. Wrong. By the second day more than half had withered and I removed them from the bouquet, and on the third day, only one was left that resembled a garden rose, so I returned them with the receipt, but the woman at the customer help counter told me they last up to 5 days - and they can wither by the third day, which they did. No replacement was offered. I was basically SOL. She was kind and of course she said she was sorry. So was I. Here is my recommendation - As beautiful as garden roses are, do not purchase them, unless you are fine with them possibly withering on the second day. They definitely do not last 7 days or fI've days, or even three.

Here's what I get at ALDI: GET AT ALDI: - nonperishable and pantry goods - some meat/fish: their chicken and salmon is so cheap! - gluten free and keto snacks - Cheeses - make the cheapest charcuterie of your life! - frozen items: cheap and great variety if you don't care about name brands! GO ELSEWHERE: - produce can be a big hit or miss, and sometimes pricey - top quality meat/eggs/deli: you won't find top notch steaks or cafe free eggs here - name brand stuff: also not here! - niche or specific items: there's one brand of most things here, but if you're looking for an obscure item for a recipe, go elsewhere Bang for your buck was practically invented at ALDI - enjoy!
