Field Trip to a Whole Foods Store I was thinking of doing this today, especially since I'm trying to get away from processed foods....that and I've never actually been in a "whole foods" store, does anybody shop there?

Be sure to eat anything fresh you buy from there within a day or two cuz fresh produce goes bad fast and they're expensive as hell.

But I've had much better luck with organic produce from the farmer's market than WF. They're building a new one a mile from my house.

It's like shopping any other grocery store. Stick to the perimeter - that's where the fresh stuff is. Giving money and power to government is like giving whisky and car keys to teenage boys. | |

I'm not thrilled about some of the political and corporate positions of Whole Foods' founder and CEO John Mackey, so I'm a bit conscious of throwing his concern my financial support of late. That said, the company is run generally pretty responsibly and it's a great shopping experience. They've got a little of everything in the organic/health/eco-friendly veins all in one spot, and as SCNDLS said, just browsing the aisles can be fun.

See and I like going to Farmer's markets too, but I just was curious about this Whole Foods thing because I was wondering what all the hype was about.

I'll look around and pick up an occasional item here or there, but when it comes down to buying volume -- and I've got the time to rove around -- I can find similar or better prices and quality at local farmers markets or other vendors in the area.

He empowers his employees with choice and freedom to do with their own money what they wish... and that's bad political policy?

Its so fucking expensive, & sadly I've started relying on them for certain things:

Until they stock diet Coke I see no reason to go there. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

I used to when I lived in the States, pretty much daily because there was one across from my last house. You'll enjoy it. It's not particularly worth it to buy fruits or veggies there rather than specialty products (sauces, rubs, actual whole grains, holistic items, etc.). If you need organic produce I would reccommend going to your local farmer's market instead to cut out the cost incurred with the middleman. | |

You'll quickly discover why it got the name "Whole Paycheck"... but I agree they do have some great things there... I only shop there if I'm planning an evening of "fine home cooking" and that's rare.

Thank you. Would that the corporate honchos where I work offered the health care options Whole Foods does. To me, Whole Foods is about...food. I love that they've forged relationships with local producers. As fabulous as Madison's Farmer's Market is in the summer, it gets a little "thin" in winter. It's nice to have another option.

Whoooo, yes, Lawd Me too, but there's certain things I like @ TJ's vs. Whole Foods vs. Safeway. So now I have to hit 3 stores to get what I need for the week/month | |

I shop there frequently. You'll soon discover they don't call it whole paycheck market for nothin', Ive gotten to the point where I go there for certain must haves as well as regular stuff. Lots of eco friendly cosmetics, insense, produce, great salad bar and hot bar, and the only place in town where I can get decent trout filets. Haiti..."L'union fait la force"... | |

I always look for to the organic health or imported sections of any store. To browse the teas and other various things. Then buy like 10 items to try. Some are great! www.sonicsgate.org

[Edited 11/7/09 6:35am] Unfortunately Whole Foods is pretty much the only game in town around here unless I want to travel long distances to find a similar store. Thankfully, Publix is always expanding their green-wise and organic sections so maybe in the near future I wont have to go to Whole Foods as much. Haiti..."L'union fait la force"... | |
