Food and Drink Do you even Whole Foods, bro? - Page 3

**Fire Me Boy!** · 11-12-2016, 06:00 PM

Do you like or shop at Whole Foods? I love 'em, but they're expensive. I could just walk around in one for an hour. One finally opened around here, so no more visits when I'm in Birmingham. Kinda stoked.

Ours has a beer stand to fill up growlers with a half-dozen Alabama beers. Kinda cool. And they always have really good milk and cheese

I wouldn't even buy from Half Foods.

There are two Aldi's actually. Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud. One owns Trader Joes and the other has the Aldi stores in the US.

I don't grocery shop at them, but the couple around me have some really nice beer release events that I'll swing through for. Usually the beers that fly off the shelves at the better known liquor stores will last a few days longer at WF.

Don't you have a march in DC to prep for, Gladys?

We had to get that shit straight.

I went in for a tossed salad, I expect better service.

threebag · 11-12-2016, 10:42 PM

I would motor boat some of that sweet organic pussy that shops there.

Sprouts is where it's at !!! Excellent produce that is fairly priced and when they have deals they are the bomb !!

**Baby Lee** · 11-12-2016, 10:57 PM

There was a time when they carried a few things you couldn't find elsewhere that justified the cost. But times have progressed and just about anything you can get at WF, you can find better and cheaper elsewhere.

I used to go there for bottled teas [used to be about the only place to find Itoen], import cheeses, olives and dolmas, almond butter, Lambics, and I'd occasionally raid their hot food bar.

Trader Joes and the higher end Dierbergs have filled in most of the gaps since. We don't have Sprouts in StL, but I shop there with the parents for durable goods when I visit back to KC.

I wish. No WF or Trader Joe's in AK. It's pretty much Fred Meyer, Safeway and specialized delivery up here. But we have excellent seafood.

BucEyedPea · 11-12-2016, 10:59 PM

No, but I do shop at an two smaller organic/natural markets. I just don't buy everything at them. I will go to Whole Foods if I can't get something at the other places. I do stop in if I am at the mall and need something without making a separate trip. When I do, I can't resist their buffet.

How does it taste these days with the Fukushima nuclear waste in the Pacific Ocean? I hear lots of sick fish and seals with growths on them?

Spott · 11-12-2016, 11:24 PM

I go to the one by the house every week or two, but I would go to Trader Joe's more often if it wasn't 20 minutes away.
