Whole Foods "Buycott" Scheduled for Sept. 1

Digital Journal ^ | 8/29/09

I’m getting some more of the Bolthouse Farms coffee drink. Wal-Mart no longer sells it.

AS big as that store is, I only get two things: Erewhon instant oatmeal with extra oat bran, and blackstrap molasses. The molasses never run out (no pun intended), but I could use some more of the oatmeal. And I hope no one "fronts" me...I'm in a foul enough mood about their side to nonfatally end up on the local evening news.

Does the oatmeal come in flavors? It will be interesting to see if the boycotters are out in force on Tuesday.

[mckenzie7]

Would that be steel cut?

[ari-freedom]

I like tofu. :)
just had it in my hot and sour soup for lunch

Count me in. I was already planning on going tomorrow, but can hold off until Tuesday...what’s one more morning without milk? ;^)

[ducdriver]

I’ll make the 30 mile round trip in my SUV on Tuesday! I’ve been wanting to shop there anyhow for a couple of weeks anyway. But now it’ll be a full cart. Their food is expensive, and worth it.

[top 2 toe red]

Actually, here in our area [Seattle] there is little difference in their prices and the prices at Safeway or Albertsons...and believe it or not QFC is more expensive than Whole Foods.

[mckenzie7]

Dread locks and tattoos(did I spell them correctly?)

That is what the employees look like here in California, but they are very courteous and helpful! I will be there on Tuesday with bells on, or maybe not bells, but I will be there, God willing!

[mckenzie7]

They do indeed sell a large variety of products. I will be in there on Tuesday for my organic yogurt.

[presently no screen name]

OK; don’t forget your Whole Paycheck!

I gotta get a job first! LOL Yeah, they are expensive. I go there for certain items only but I can very easily get carried away. I'll see you by the bakery goods and the homemade soup aisle. ;)

[ducdriver]

Good point. Actually it’s probably about the same here (Colorado). Plus, you can snack on good stuff while you shop.

[momincombatboots]

Wish I could, no stores in Peoples Republic of NC and our “emergency” sales tax increase starts tues. I am buying whatever I might need today for the next few months as my boycott of the sales Tax.

[LexRex in TN]

Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh and Winston Salem.....stores in each of ‘em.

[Carley]

Whole Foods near us was packed the other evening.

The parking lot was jammed and it wasn’t easy finding a parking spot. Evidently this has more attention in the msm than the real Americans.

[Ticonderoga34]

The way my schedule is, Tuesday is my grocery day anyway. I have to go out of my way to shop at Whole Foods but I guess I will. Never have been in one of their stores before.

[BunnySlippers]

I started last night.

[momincombatboots]

I live in Asheville. Thanks for the info.

[RhoTheta]

We’re up for it tomorrow! If you’ve ever been in Whole Foods, it is like the old Berkeley Co-op Market — full of Barking Moonbat Greenie Vegans in Birkenstocks. Their lemming-like leftist boycott could really hurt Whole Foods. It is an amazing store, however, if you need things like goatmilk kefir and a large selection of organic produce.

[Ditter]

I shop at WF all the time, the beef is excellent. Also they sell Niman Ranch Applewood Smoked petite hams, delicious, I keep several in the freezer all the time. If you are trying to avoid high fructos corn syrup in every thing you buy, WF is the place to do it. I avoid the organic produce.

[FrdmLvr]

I'm checking out those Niman Ranch Applewood smoked petite hams tomorrow. They sound wonderful. I love ham, but the nitrates. Are these low in nitrates?

I'll be going to the WF in Ann Arbor, right in the belly of the beast. I'm sure we'll be met with lots of crazies from the U of M. It should be fun.
