Whole FoodsWe always thought that shopping at Whole Foods was a sure fired way to spend a ton of money on food, but when my wife compared the prices- it turns out that depending on what we are talking about- we had that completely wrong.  They also have a wider selection of many things and much cheaper prices than our neighborhood Kowalski’s Market for sure.  We try to completely avoid Target if possible, since walking in the door means that we are going to spend a ton more money- usually on incidentals that we didn’t really need (damn you end cap marketing!) not that things are more expensive.

Whole Foods is definitely the place for a vast variety of tofu, especially firm tofu.  We prefer the extra firm West Soy- which is the only place that we have found it locally.  Tons of organic and locally grown produce at half the price as our neighborhood Kowalski’s.  The price is right on most of the veggies. There is a huge selection of every veggie that we have ever heard of and can’t find- is there and everything is cheaper, organic, locally grown.  For example, we found local braeburn apples at 1.99/lb. at Whole Foods versus much more a pound elsewhere and usually the apples are from Washington.  Just awesome- oh, and Almond Milk is also half the price there as well.

Huge selection, awesome prices.  Done.
