I know lots of people call this place "whole paycheck" and that is not far from the truth. Whole foods is definitely on the high end of the grocery totem pole. But when you offer items, that you cannot find at your regular retail grocery store - then I guess the pricing is legitimate.
I come to Whole Foods for the following regular items:
*Coconut Aminos
*Pederson's Natural Farms Bacon
*Wellshire All Natural Smoked Andouille Sausage
*Deli Turkey Meat
*Farmhouse Culture Priobiotics
*Good Soap
Whole Foods offers me the convenience of eating a diet where I can food with no dairy, no soy, no grains, and no added sugar. So I love that I can always depend on being able to find what I need here.
On occasion, I will shop the produce here but my produce here is far and few between. I find that I can get comparable produce from other stores at a much cheaper price.
Before we implanted our dietary changes, we were fans of the hot bar. The mac and cheese was a favorite of ours. So good.
The seafood and butcher section are great as well. While it is not always a must have for us, when they have a sale price on something - we most often do not pass it up.
I love how helpful the employees are here. If I am ever looking for anything, they will go out of their way to help and assist in any way that they can.
