Anybody have a Whole Foods Grocery Store around them?

BIG_DADDY · 11-30-2004, 12:49 PM

I have been doing more and more of this organic thing but it was really a pain and expensive. About a year ago they put in a whole foods grocery store down the street, I love that place. Not only are most things there organic but the price on similar products was found to be significantly cheaper than Safeway. I also love a place here called Trader Joes. I can get organic chickens there for $1.59 a pound and a dozen large organic brown eggs for only $2.99 If you have either of these stores around you should do yourself a favor and check them out.

Not only is it better for you but it tastes WAY better than that shit I buy at Safeway or Alberson's. MOF when I do all my shopping there I swear I spend less. As an example a half gallon of organic soy milk at Safeway is $4.99 I can get the same thing at whole foods for $2.99

Yeah, but who can eat a whole cow before it gets freezer burnt.

No, but you could try a 1/4 side of beef. Just go to your local county fair when they auction off a steer.

Invest in a deep freeze.

I am pretty sure there is something of that nature around here but nothing large.

I remember when I was working at bowling center and a lady asked me if we had organic food in our snack bar. I told her that we didnt and apologized.

She told me how stupid this place was for not having it and how stupid I was.

If that is your kind of food then thats cool, I have no problem with that but don't expect food like that to be at a bowling center.

IT IS A BOWLING ALLEY LADY!

ok im done.

Cage free farm fresh eggs are the way to go. Taste much better. Organic veggies and fruits also taste better. We have an Akins natural food mart here, plus another smaller local health food mart.

That is why everyone should have a couple of chickens. lmao. I would make more money to boot.

I try to tell em, that if you know what got fed to the chickens, then you would think raising your own eggs was a bargain.

A store bought tomato is to a home grown garden tomato;

as a store bought egg is to a free range egg.

I did, but Little Jerrys egg production has been very poor.

Let me get this straight, you have ONE chicken and its name is "Little Jerry" ?

If I may ask, how old is little Jerry?

Don't worry, I own a feed store and was going to suggest some tips at increasing little Jerry's egg production.

I don't know. It could be because I throw a shoe at him every morning when he "COCK A DOODLE DOO's" me awake when the sun comes out.

Organic food? As opposed to what? Synthetic?

No pesticide's on your fruits and vegtables and no antibiotics in your meat. Antibiotics are terrible for you.

I couldn't survive without plenty of antibiotics for my meat.
