Whole Foods may be toast. Granted, it's toast made from pricey, gluten-free, organic honey oat bread. But toast nonetheless.
Shares of Whole Foods (WFM) plunged more than 10% Thursday after the high-end natural grocery chain reported sales and profits that missed analysts' forecasts. Its outlook did not impress investors either.

You have some lucky dogs. I buy Natural Balance for mine and I thought I was extravagant. My dogs are my babies! Sounds like yours are well loved too.
(Calif) I went to one with my uncle and said him that the people there look like hippies. He was an engineer who was conservative and shopped there all the time. I am from Minnesoda and so I guess he did not notice the hippies like I would.
I do like their Lion burgers.
If you don’t stop that you’ll have a mob on your lawn.
Our guys eat Natural Balance for breakfast. Could strangle NB for discontinuing their turkey, oatmeal, & cranberry treats (Tasty Bones, IIRC. I forget) . We fought with our vets for years about feeding people food. lol Either we made believers of them or they gave up. :-D Indulging our dogs is our vice.
Do y’all have Pet Barn, there? They make treats in house that are just pretty good. So many flavors- peanut butter, cranberry, blueberry, bunch of others. Great price, too + buy 3 lbs, get the fourth free. I think they might mail order.
San Antonio (& missing Houston from when DH was working there last year).
We get our NB from Petco, but that’s it. They & Petsmart are so overpriced except on dogfood.
They do have a shop online thing.
It looks like they’ve added minis. (We used to buy 3 Dog’s little treats.) I can vouch for the blueberry, cranberry, cheese, & peanut butter. The blueberry ones smell so good, I’m tempted to try one myself.
I made a nice chunk on options several years ago in their high growth phase. That can’t last forever.
We do have Petsmart but the one where I shopped closed now I shop Petco. There is now Unleashed which is Petco by a new name.
I love San Antonio but I have never lived there. I am mad for the missions, I love them. I have to visit every few years and just wander around all of them.
I love them, too. There’s a really neat one- a fort, actually, in Gonzales. DH handled an insurance claim there (one of the modern buildings, not the fort itself) a few years back, & I’ve wanted to go back ever since.
I grew up here, so I may be tired of it. I don’t think we’ve grown very gracefully. East Texas is so lush & green. I am wild about SE Houston. Believe it or not (this used to not be true in the 80s & 90s), Houston drivers are a lot saner than San Antonio or Austin. Maybe if we had a Beltway 8? (Okay. This is making me need a road trip. lol Doesn’t take much...)
I think it’s the Presidio. IIRC, they have a nice park there- pretty close by.
That sounds familiar, but I haven’t been there. Makes me sick about Mexico. We used to go shopping pretty often & always when we went to South Padre. It’s not safe now, I don’t think. Or I wouldn’t feel safe anyway.
My girlfriends and I would charter a bus and go to the border to shop El Mercado. We had such a good time but those days are long over.
I’m glad my step grandparents aren’t alive to see this. They lived in Harlingen & my grandfather did business across the border as well as the Valley.
The Mexican government could get ahold of this if they wanted to. :rubs fingers/ thumb together:
DH used to handle a lot of property claims in Eagle Pass & Del Rio and trucking claims as far as Sanderson (all hours of the day & night). The last few years he did it, it really stressed me out.
The Mexican people as a whole are good people but the government is so corrupt. Everyone in government from the top to the bottom has their hand out for a bribe. That’s just the way it works down there.
Agree. BF’s friends used to go surfing in Tampico back in the 70s & talked about having to pay off the federales.
