You, too? The meat market is so beautiful, I almost cried the first time I saw it. Seriously, though, the price for seasonal produce is comparable to any grocery store and the quality cannot be beat. CM also has sales from time to time on their meat, seafood, and other staples that make them relatively affordable. I can’t shop there for all my pantry needs, but I can indulge sporadically and not break the bank.
That being said, I do draw the line at spending $7.00-$9.00 for a gallon of organic milk or an extra $5.00 or so a pound for organic/free-range meat/poultry. The quality of said products does not justify their outrageous prices. Maybe these Millennials are just finally waking up and looking at their bank accounts. At any rate, I would not shop at Whole Foods again. I have NEVER felt so out of place. The whole greenie vibe coming from the store was just creepy.
That is good news, and yep, the more competition the better.
Since I moved away from the coast I don’t have a Trader Joe’s close, but they sure have some quirky niches.
In the 1990s I used to buy an orange liqueur from them that seemed very good, yet was dirt cheap, I knew it wasn’t truly fantastic but it was very adequate and I and my guests enjoyed it, something that we would not have tried if it was much more expensive.
Hey, neck bones and sauerkraut is a very tasty dish!
Nobody has ever wanted to pay for something, but life is tough and then you die. In the mean time, shut up and pay what you owe.
I am happy to say we don’t have Walmart’s here in LA. At least from what I am hearing.
We have only one and it is in a very high chimaera that I’m not going to drive to investigate.
Give me Trader Joe’s [cheap] and I’m happy. I don’t like Whole Foods.
All of your lunch options are deadly. Eat cheap, die young.
Life, is tough to various degrees, for everybody. I believe how one faces life and deals with adversity is primarily a factor of his or her moral values, work attitude, sense of dedication and responsibility, opportunities, successes AND failures, and how one uses all of the above in setting their goals and priorities.
You are to be commended for overcoming adversity and achieving your goals. I and many others have shared the same goals. I have had my successes and failures, but as Frank S. said, I did it mostly my way.
The current sense of entitlement offered by our government, deceives many people into believing they can achieve their goals without work and through redistribution of other people's wealth and successes. And to some degree the they can. But they do not see that the government also limits them to be less than they could be and dependent on someone else.
Yes, life is tough, but to survive one has to get tougher and take responsibility for the outcome.
I haven't checked for several years, but the last time that I did, the liberals have kept America's favorite grocery store out of many of the largest left wing cities, like Los Angeles, and at the time, New York, San Diego, etc.
Walmart Superstores are resisted by the left, not the market.
Tens of millions of Americans forbidden to shop at the grocery store that they prefer, forbidden by the government, not because the store doesn't want to be there.
Plus, it’s unsustainable. One day, and probably sooner than many might think, the welfare credit cards will flash “empty” and then what happens? Rome couldn’t keep up bread & circuses forever and neither can we. Reality will be a real slap in the face to people who have never worked and have never been trained for work. It’ll make “Mad Max” look like a junior high theatrical play.
I shop the street vendors of Colombia.....
Due to celiac disease, I appreciate the extensive gluten free selection in Whole Foods. Most of the shoppers though seem to be affluent women with the time, cash, and inclination to make food shopping a review of obscure and pricey foodstuffs that are a notch or two above those of mass market grocery stores. Veblen’s theory of leisure class conspicuous consumption is vindicated.
As we all should.
Their prices are great.
After dropping 1.2 million on private jets and security and travel expenses though, I had to give up on them and focus on buying in the states.
Local is cool too. Always help your Farmer’s Market.
I’m sure you’re right.
We had a vicious long ... 6-8 month long grocery strike.
This is not meant to be a joke.
If you feel up to checking out who maned the strike positions, I think that you will find that they were not union employees.
I take it you don’t live in Austin.
We spend a few months a year in Colombia...great place, food is good and cheap! We rarely eat at home there because restaurants have great food and cheap.
This coming Jan Im planning a motorcycle across the county with some local friends. A country well worth visiting. Pro REAL Americans...very friendly
Millenials are so broke from paying for their damend cellphones, they can’t even pay attention. Cellfish kids.
The big problem for me ...and it looks like a starting trend...is that the veggies are sold per piece....
Imagine purchasing one potato, or a single apple...
who does this....?
