I really don't understand why anyone shops at Whole Foods. It's insanely overpriced compared to any other grocery store I've ever been in. The 3-4 times I've been there since the Amazon acquisition have resulted in $0 in savings. Nothing I have to buy is ever on sale or discounted via Prime.
I find Trader Joe's, New Seasons, and local coops to be much more affordable and better quality of varying degrees for each.
- fastball 8y agoWhole Foods has more inertia than Trader Joe's, and also a much wider selection (TJ's tends to have a singular product for many items, where WF will have a selection). Don't know what New Seasons is. The local co-ops in my area are shit. Not sure why anyone shops at Whole Foods in your area, but not every area is your area.
- philwelch 8y ago> TJ's tends to have a singular product for many items, where WF will have a selection That's also a feature of TJ (and Costco, for that matter).
- fastball 8y agoVery true. Not everyone's cup-of-tea though.
- nradov 8y agoAre you sure about that? My local Trader Joe's has a half aisle of just chips, many flavors of frozen wontons, at least four different kinds of marinara sauce, 10+ kinds of salad dressing, bagels with every possible topping, and the list goes on. The selection seems pretty good to me.
- nitrogen 8y agoTry going to a Walmart or big chain supermarket some time.
- village-idiot 8y agoDepends a lot on what you purchase and where you live. For how my family eats, Whole Foods is regularly cheaper than the Ralph’s by about 10%, more now that we have the amazon card.
