To be fair...
The one near my studio in Kailua has a great sale on Thursday nights at the salad bar. Anyone who knows anything about buying vegetable oh Hawaii know of the abysmal selection (though it’s better with Costco now). The price is pretty good.
They have a red orange juice that is terrific and not too expensive considering. And they sell their 365 milk which is cheaper than organic milk sold in regular grocery stores and it doesn't have all the hormones and stuff in it.
They have good soap and cheese dept
And Bell and Evans free range yardbird
Other than that and a few other things I prefer Publix or Fresh Market
It’s not just trendy and superficial
But it is pricey
Sometimes, we’ll drive through the Whole Foods parking lot just to laugh at the weirdos shopping there. They’re a strange looking bunch. Sickly pale skin that oozes new age uber lib. There’s the contrast between the rag tag hippy garb v. the uptight rich designer garb v. the whites who dress in ethnic garb to show the world they embrace diversity.
And despite the obviously lefty staff
The founder was anti Obamacare and got spanked for that
Anybody remember what Whole Foods was called east of the Mississippi prior to the combining?
Buy a bag of Good Value cashews as Walmart and give them a whirl in the food processor. Bingo, you have cashew butter.
Yes, it’s “Whole Paycheck” but there’s a reason that I’ve never seen one not doing gangbusters: they deliver the quality. I don’t personally go there much because forget paying $150 for a bag of groceries, and if I look hard enough I can do just as well at my local grocery, but if I was in one of those “Double Income No Kids”, yeah, sure, why not?
I tend to not go anywhere that the majority of people drive Subarus and Prius.
I learned all I needed to know about that place from South Park. :0)
I stock the freezer with Walmart 49 and 99 cent clearance bakery breads. Their “everything” Italian loaf is great. I can’t bake it at home for that price.
Vegan.
Brussels sprouts? How do you cook 'em?
Steamed. But I’m talking about the market chain. Fantastic alternative to Whole Paychecks.
I do not own a pair of birkenstocks so I have never been inside.
The sight of hipsters makes me sick anyway.
LOL, why do you think they can charge more? Look at all those extra things you get with your “organic” produce! Now that’s organic.
Not my particular cup of tea. But yep, the found a niche and hispters pay premium cost for hisptery stuff. Thats capitalism.
LOL, yeah.
The e choli bacteria in Chipotles food was found to be a laboratory strain. It did not come from illegals, it was industrial sabotage. Thou shalt not diss GMO’s!
They bought out Harry’s Farmer’s Markets in Atlanta. I loved Harry’s when we lived there.
