"first they got rid of the lunch counter. sigh.\n\nthen they expanded the supplement area. sigh.\n\nnow they charge an enormous amount for things you can get less at the co-op, (which to be fair is expensive as well).... and even LESS online and have it delivered right to your door. \n\ni do enjoy organic and natural foods. i accept that, at this time in our country, they cost more. however, i feel like i'm being physically bent over when i'm being charged nearly $7 for soy burgers i can buy at mejier for $4.50... or vitamins i can order online for $20 less a bottle. (no joke)\n\ni want to shop local because i believe it's a great way to support your community and the small businessman.... but it has to be somewhat competitive. i leave strawberry fields sometimes feeling like i've been victim to a shakedown. i like the variety and if i need an ingredient on the fly, i'll go. i don't make a point anymore though, because as a rule, i try not to spend more money on things if i don't have to.\n\ni will say this, though. i do love their vegan baked goods. they are awesome. i will pay $3.25 for a vegan peanut butter brownie because they are a little piece of heaven. other than that.... yeah.... not so much."^^ .
