Whole Foods stole my heart long ago.
Now, there's the Friday wine/beer/food event that has gotten me hooked for another reason! On Fridays, for $5 you can sample 5 wines or beers (there are nonalcoholic options as well) and some delicious food pairings! So good!
Also, I've found that when I'm shopping, if I ask someone for advice, they give me real advice. Like from the heart suggestions. The "beer guy" is my favorite because I'm pretty open to any beer and he just throws all kinds of options at me. The "wine lady" also helped me when I was looking for a wine to take home for Thanksgiving. I know NOTHING about wine, other than what I want it to taste like and how much I wouldn't like to spend. She directed me to a delicious white wine on sale for $5 or $6!! Perfect!
Really, there's nothing wrong with Whole Foods other than the fact that I could lose track of days and dollars VERY easily.
