@goldensrbest  That's why it's called Whole Paycheck.

A doctor I used to work with said the same thing..."Whole Foods, Whole Paycheck."

When I lived in California, I would always get my Turkey  from Whole Foods.  I never really brought much of anything from there.  I've gone into the Whole Foods where I live now.  I don't know why.  Maybe I think it's going to be different.  It's too expensive.

I went into that store one time, walked around and then left. Didn't buy a thing. Prices were more than my food budget would allow.

I don't shop Whole Foods for most weekly groceries. I do enjoy picking up specialty items, produce, fresh meats, seafood, quality ingredients not found elsewhere that supplement the staples from elsewhere.

@goldensrbest I've been disappointed w/their products/prices also.  But I did find that they do Amazon returns which was really easy & by the time I got back to my car the refund was in my account.

I only went to a Whole Foods once here in south Florida. I saw nothing of interest except some onion rolls that I bought in the bakery department. They made me sick with nausea and vomiting. I threw out the remainder of the bag and have never gone back to the store.

I think they have the best produce going--and the best by far selection here of fresh veggies and fruits.  And if you are a prime member I don't think that they are enough higher than any other store for quality produce. 

 

I also use a lot of their 365 house brands which I have found to be excellent.  I think a lot of what is said about them is urban myth frankly.  

 

But it also depends what you are looking for.  For major brands, hamburger buns, cleaning supplies, canned goods, we do Walmart pickups.

 

Meat, produce, 365 dairy, cheeses outside name brands, etc. WF. And we shop their sales, which are very good.
