Yes, WF prices are often cheaper for the exact same products vs. other stores, it's just that they also carry a more expensive organic natural chemical-free locally sourced indie niche upgrade of the same thing next to it.
- fma 8y agoI beg to differ. Below is my source that (I took the photos). $4 at Asian grocery store vs $10. Regular price at Asian store is $5 It's coffee from New Orleans, nothing exotic. http://imgur.com/gallery/BrHhzVx http://imgur.com/gallery/BrHhzVx
- maimeowmeow 8y agoThe coffee you posted is arranged in a aesthetically pleasing manner which justifies a higher price for the yuppies who don't have the time to cross shop. The higher price may make people think they are buying a premium quality product, and derive additional pleasure of consuming luxury goods even while not knowing it was marked up peasant food.
- nsnick 8y agoI love how the asian grocery store accurately labels it as "coffee with chicory" whereas whole foods just calls it "regular coffee"
