| - For anyone not made of money, it's natural to resist the upscale, crunchy appeal of Whole Foods Market. There I sat in my cubicle, wondering where to eat lunch day after day, not even considering the large grocery store just a short walk away from my office. Then my girlfriend started mentioning all of the great deals on healthy foods she was finding at Whole Foods on her lunch breaks and curiosity slowly crept into my gastronomical musings.
Then one day I made the leap and have not regretted it since. Granted, I'm not saying this place is cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for. And the amount of food offerings are vast. There's a BBQ smokehouse place in the back with $5 lunch deals, a Chipotle-like burrito bar, a bar with happy hour specials, a brick oven pizzeria, a crazy awesome salad bar ($2 off per pound on wednesdays), an Asian cuisine kitchen, and a bevy of pre-made dishes that are probably better than anything your mom could ever dream of making.
I haven't done much actual grocery shopping here because, again, it's pricey, but if you're looking for a quality, healthy dining experience then this is the place to go.
Also, the people watching at the Scottsdale location is incredible. It's like a carnival of stereotypes and then some.
