Maybe I've bought a few things because they happened to be on sale, but not much. It's pricey there, just as you said!<br /><br />I do agree however, agree that their salad bar, sandwich station and soup stations are VERY good, especially for lunch. I've eaten there quite a few times while on business in areas where I don't know the restaurants and don't want to eat crap.Marathon Maritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617226310522206108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-83381971089579763082010-02-24T22:28:07.958-05:002010-02-24T22:28:07.958-05:00we have earth fare down in sc, very similar. the f...we have earth fare down in sc, very similar. the food bar is awesomeeeeee. the regular-grocery stuff is expensive. i try to get as much as i can at other stores and then just the special stuff at the organic store. i wish we had a trader joes!! i can eat so much of their stuff (soy free)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-87071975247211179042010-02-24T16:20:47.658-05:002010-02-24T16:20:47.658-05:00Whole Foods is good, but like many chains, what th...Whole Foods is good, but like many chains, what they carry and the size of the store may vary depending upon location. For us, our local grocery chain, Publix, carries nearly the same selection of organic, etc as WF, so we almost never go to WF.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465800584212530717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-87304430215212986572010-02-24T14:30:13.801-05:002010-02-24T14:30:13.801-05:00My state is getting its first whole foods next yea...My state is getting its first whole foods next year!!

Otherwise, we stick to the Giant. I'm not paying $12 for a 6 pack of eco-friendly toilet paper! I liked Carolina's comment about 'Whole Paycheck,' it's so true. Whole Food's hot bar is good if you don't feel like cooking dinner, but they don't switch up the food from week to week, it's pretty much the same dishes all the time.Lauren Effronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447198915951666808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-53143508642065899142010-02-24T13:44:23.732-05:002010-02-24T13:44:23.732-05:00Whole Foods is so pricey!

Otherwise, it's the farmer's market, TJ's and Wal-Mart for this girl! I'm always looking for the best deals on the healthiest foods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-42196608656657963912010-02-24T11:10:34.575-05:002010-02-24T11:10:34.575-05:00Never been to whole foods.

The aisles and store in general are so small and there's no way to maneuver a cart. I go about once a month to get some organic produce but that's about it. I can usually get everything else at the Giant by my house for much cheaper.<br />Their hot/cold bar does have lost of different foods, but I usually find most of the vegetables drenched in oil. I do like the tofu though. :-)The Introverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352638019590918315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-27741480971436186962010-02-24T09:31:26.939-05:002010-02-24T09:31:26.939-05:00I do shop at Whole Paycheck regularly. There'...I do shop at Whole Paycheck regularly. There's one just 2 blocks from the house. But I don't buy much there. Love the hot bar and salad bar, I stop on my way home from work for dinenr there every night. Well, almost every night. It's the beauty of living alone. The sushi is pretty good, and they have 'blue plate meals' for about $6 that is a really good dinner. I like the vegetarian selections. Best tofu in town.<br /><br />other than that, fruit and milk are all i regularly seem to purchase there. it is expensive.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.com
