Winco

The only supermarkets Rexburg has is Albertsons and Broliums. Both places aren't my favorite but thats all we have to work with. I was talking to my lab partner about it and she said she drives in the Idaho Falls and goes to a place called Winco. She says she loves it and it so worth the drive. BJ wanted to drive down to Idaho Falls to check out a car (he is always looking on craigslist at cars.. idk why) Since we were there I wanted to stop by this Winco place. 

First off its open 24 hours which is sweet. 
2nd its like Smart and Final. You can buy bulk but is has produce and everything your local supermarket does but for cheap because it comes in bulk.
Third...


They have a self serve area. This is my all time favorite thing about the store. They have candy of all kinds. Like the stuff you ate as a kid, regular candy like candy bars and skittles. Its all self serve and sold by the pound. SOOO much cheaper then buying it prepackaged.

They not only had all kinds of candy but they had everything from nuts, to granola, to rice, to pasta, to flour, to anything that comes prepackage and doesn't spoil. We got a pound of roasted salted shelled sunflower seeds for $1.20. We got a pound of almond granola for $.88. We got a pound of short grain brown rice for $.98. They even had cereals you could buy by the pound. My favorite part was the baking section. They had flour of every kind, wheat, white, bread, pastry. They had all kinds of sugar. They had mixes like brownie mix or blueberry muffin, waffle, pancake. They had flax seed, they had coco flour, they had every thing. All by the pound and all soooo much cheaper then buying it a package at the store. Of course the sold package stuff too. I always wanted to bake from scratch but can never find all the random powders recipes call for. Or they are just so expensive its not worth making it by scratch. Now i can go buy it by the pound and save money by making everything from scratch!!!

This place is amazing!!!
