I totally agree with Katie D about this place not being overpriced at all. This is my favorite grocery store of all time. It is the perfect balance. While Trader Joe's is fun and inexpensive, it is too small for a true shopping trip where I need quite a few bulk or household items. While Whole Foods is large enough for this type of shopping it is very expensive. They didn't go nuts on having all sort of stipulations about their food but do adhere to (in my opinion) the big ones. I think this helps to keep the prices reasonable. Their produce is great. It really is the same price as Giant Eagle for a much better product. I know because I forgot a couple ingredients and went to a Giant Eagle and compared directly. And if you register for emails on their website or their texting thingy then they have great coupons.
I love the expansive hot and cold bars for in-store eating. Gives me a chance to try a small little amount of things I wouldn't want to commit to and test them out.
Also am loving the incorporation of local products in a lot of places around the store.
They have a giant section devoted to kind of herbal remedies, pills, natural supplements, etc. Not really into that myself but they do have it.
I look forward to going to the grocery here.
