Bashas’

We rented a house locally for a family reunion… I stopped in to buy groceries fro the week… Prices were a bit high even with me coming from California. I did manage to find a few good deals on some items though. I was the only customer in the store at 7Am monday morning and had to round up a cashier. The guy who helped me out was nice enough. As he rang up my groceries and I put them in my cart he asked me if I had a Bashas Card… I told him I did not as I was from out of town.
When I got back to the car I realized that I had not gotten any of the good prices I was expecting. Everywhere I have ever shopped in California and this summer for that matter usually will give you the sale priced items… In fact the stores in California usually have a generic card by the register for the clerk to scan so that the customers can get the deals. I would have saved about $ 25 of the $ 102 that I spent…
I won’t be back to Bashas.

Just love this bashas, the staff are always very friendly and helpful and love the new Bright shirts they wear —

I have to go here as it is close to work and sometimes food supplies are needed, but for some reason this place creeps me out. It shouldn’t. It’s just a small retro-​like store like the stores I remember during childhood. But somehow darker and sadder.

Go to place for a quick six pack, organic something or other, etc due to its location. Prices are a little high on those items, but they always seem to be open and I can walk here!

I generally love Bashas but this Bashas is the smallest Bashas I’ve ever experienced. For being so small, less folks are able to cram in but oh do they try. Plus, the options are severely limited and due to this, the prices are pretty high. Also, the produce is on the lower end of the spectrum ($ 3.99 for a small pint of Brussels sprouts that upon closer inspection were looking pretty rough). Since this is the closest grocery store to where I was staying while in Flagstaff, it was pretty much the only option (since I don’t know where the other grocery stores are).
Luckily, the cashier was pretty entertaining purely by accident. I was purchasing a variety of items but the 30lb box of apples and a bottle of sparkling margarita really caught the cashier’s attention.
Holding up the booze, the cashier looks at me, looks back to the bottle, looks at me and says, «This looks amazing.»
I mumble something about that’s why I’m buying it. He responds enthusiastically, «You have to come back and tell me how it is.»
I agree and then he notices the large box of apples. «What is this mystery box?»
«It’s a box of apples.»
«What are you going to do with all those apples?!»
«We’re going to feed them to the deer.»
«No pie? You aren’t going to make pie?»
«No…»
“I guess no one gets any pie this year.“
Overall, I’d come back as long as that cashier is just as enthusiastic when I purchase more mundane items.

Bashas’ is pretty solid. We came in this location and the employees were very accommodating. The only bummer was that they don’t allow backpacks so I suppose they must have so much theft. This is a popular location so they were out of sleds and we had to go to another location.

I was surprised to see the bum reviews that this Bashas’ gets!
We stopped in right before we left to head to the Grand Canyon and stocked up on juices, trail mixes, hummus, and lots of other snacks.
The staff was really friendly, the store was organized and clean, and there was a great selection.
The only thing I found odd was NO BACKPACKS 6AM-​6PM. Uhhh, that’s all day. If theft has been a problem, then they should have a bag check, but with all of the backpackers that must pass through there, it is kind of a bummer that they put that restriction up. I imagine it hurts them more than it helps.

This is where I stop, on my way out of town, when I realize I forgot to get groceries. I always regret it. The staff is nice, and the location in convenient to the hospital, but the selection in nothing like that of the Bashas’ across town. The deli counter closes super early, and prices seem a bit higher. I could not find Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, which I only «really need» about once a year. This is a fine place to stop if you just need run-​of-​the-​mill items, such as eggs milk and peanut butter, but otherwise, I recommend pre planing so you can shop elsewhere. The other Bashas’ is good, and I also Luke the Safeway on cedar (still less in butcher dept though) or the Fry’s.

Typical grocery store. Employees are pretty nice. They have a little spot for organic stuff and what not.
