Best prices for fruits and veggies outside of a wholesale market - Edit
Although inflation has severely dampened my enjoyment of grocery shopping, Natural Grocers is still my favorite for organic, whole fruits and vegetables. I agree with the above poster, no idea why there is no bulk section, would like to see that verses in prepackaged plastic containers. Even MOC, Capella, Kiva and Sundance have bulk bins.

decent natural food store in Eugene - Edit
Natural Grocers recently ended their over a week long grand opening and now are officially open. I have mixed feelings about yet another Natural Food Store in Eugene, but will try to do an objective review.
Read moreKudos for Natural Grocers in for not using plastic or paper bags in Eugene or any of their other branches in the US that has saved 100 million plastic bags from landfills since 2009 (enough to go from NY to Los Angeles a whopping 6 times.) I think other Natural Food Stores, Grocery Stores and all stores should do the same. It doesn't cost that much to buy a canvas bag and other stores charge money for plastic or paper a dime, but should be $1 or more. Natural Grocers does sell canvas bags for $1 which is great to turn on people!
Great that they have 100 percent organic produce and the products that they do carry are conscious. I feel that they lose points for putting all their bulk from grains to nuts etc in plastic bags. This is a paradox. Bring back the bulk bins. Even more mainstream grocery chains such as Fred Meyer, Safe Way, or King Soopers have bulk bins or the mainstream meets natural food store meets Whole Foods aka Market of Choice.
I also feel that Natural Grocers is super paleo. Having been an ethical vegan for 15 years I can't help, but to to look at Natural Grocers extensive books for sale seeing only one vegan title and a few raw foods titles among the 90 percent paleo books.
I definitely feel that Natural Grocers is better than Trader Joe's and all other mentioned grocery stores above, but still feel that living in Eugene I still choose to support Sundance, Grower's and Kiva. Sundance is several notches above Natural Grocers for the following reasons:
*Better, fresher, and more diverse range of all organic produce including wild crafted
* the store is nearly all vegetarian except for for a few cans of wild tuna
*Less corporate and friendly vibe
*Better bulk selection with labeling the specific source of all bulk items (super rare to see)
* Amazing hot bar/cold bar that is nearly all vegan/all vegetarian (one of the best on West Coast)
*Open earlier and latter
I believe in a green economy and voting with one's dollar. So, Sundance and Grower's will get the majority of my votes but still feel occasionally supporting Natural Grocer's is a good balance.
Pros: decent natural food store in Eugene

Reasonable prices - Edit
Natural Grocers is not a huge store, but it's large enough to have a good selection of quality vegan staples at prices significantly lower than many other natural food stores. While their regular prices are good, their sale prices can be quite a bargain. Every once in a while they have giveaway days where they have free merchandise, such as a chocolate bar or a reusable bag. Get on their email list to find out about the specials.

Cons: Not a huge store, Would prefer more food and fewer supplements
