| - I'm scratching my head wondering how this place stays in business.
While it is well organized, very clean and spacious for such a small space, the prices are ludicrous. Between two and THREE times as expensive as any other health food store I've been to - that includes Big Carrot, Noah's, Whole Foods, Qi, Evergreen, Peach Tree, etc. To wit:
* Avalon Organics hand soap - $8.99 ($4.99 at Essence Of Life, $6.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart)
* Earth balance margarine - $5.99 ($3.99 at Noah's)
* Bob's Red Mill 7 Grain Hot Cereal - $7.99 ($3.99 at EoL, Tutti Frutti and Whole Foods)
* Spirutein pwder - $29.99 ($15.99 or $16.99 at Essence Of Life or Noah's) I actually gasped when I saw this price tag.
I question how this place stays in business.
Also, I wasn't very impressed by the selection. There were only two types of honey (man I sound like a brat - but seriously, there was no normal honey to be found - just a $40 jar of gold honey and some other organic brand) and they didn't carry the bread I normally buy. The vitamins section was a disaster (no shelf labels) and there was no one around to help me out. I tried not to touch too many things as I struggled to locate an easy-to-swallow B vitamin, and there wasn't a Dr. Weil's product in sight.
