great grocery experience

by northwestlaura

it's right around the corner from whole foods so i feel kind of funny praising eastside's selection of organic and local products, but they do have a great selection, and as good as the whole foods chain is, sometimes it is nice to support a local business. i go to eastside to get my groceries - they advertise that organic products don't cost any more than regular, which is true and so nice because it makes healthy choices more affordable. i take the ripta trolly back to campus; it stops right in front of the grocery store. i also hear that they have student discounts on wednesdays!

• Pros: selection, organic and local produce
• Cons: not as cheap as shaws
