Couldn’t care less.
Food, firearms musical instruments, not going to buy anything less than the best, damn the cost.
Their store in my neighborhood smells and it is way too expensive:
They don’t call it Whole Paycheck for nothing...
Organic and gluten free foods are huge money makers for grocery stores as customers will pay any price for these items without complaint. The rest of us count our nickles on every food purchase, but the natural food fanatic will gladly shell out $5 for a gallon of “organic” milk, $4 for a dozen “organic eggs” or $3 for organic mac & cheese in a recycled cardboard box.
When it’s so easy to grow your own veggies, why do people go to Whole Foods or any other store? And think of all the chemicals and pesticides in that food at Whole Foods. It’s no wonder we have high cancer rates in this country.
The Whole Foods 365 brand of milk that does not have the hormones and junk in it is at least $1.50 to $2.00 less than the organic brand at a regular grocery store.
The Omega-3 bottle that I buy at Whole Foods is $3.00 less than at a regular grocery store.
Another Austin-based company ripping off Texans is nothing new. You should see what passes for newspapers in Austin, Dallas, and Houston. Now that’s really fraud.
We need professional journalists to tell us Whole Foods is the most expensive place you can shop?
My Whole Foods sells mostly “conventional” fruits and vegetables - i.e, non-organic. And almost no local produce. Yes, you can get 100 different mushrooms and hot peppers but how about an organic broccoli crown? Or local corn in summer?
Also, the baked goods are not great - although they’re much better in Manhattan given the great bakeries they buy from.
The prices in the wine section are outrageous!
Anyone who’s stepped through their doors knows it’s more expensive. 10 and 15 years ago, I ventured in 3 3 times for 3 specific items I had exhausted all other avenues to find. Haven’t been back since, though I will admit to driving by slowly to shake my head at the skinny sickly looking crowd who do shop there.
HEB is usually cheaper than Walmart for their canned goods. Walmart reduces their soon to expire meats whereas HEB doesn’t order enough meat to service their customers so never has to reduce their prices. They will have one or two beef roasts so you have to grab when it’s there. I’ve literally done a meet the meat dude in the back for a sneaked package of frozen fish and it caused an uproar at the cash register. HEB is beginning to not stock their lower priced brands and is on the fast track to becoming a more high dollar store and now feature delis and bakeries and such in their larger city stores. Sadly, in many small towns here, HEB it the only game in town where incomes are low so they are ignoring their customer base. Our store has poor management so entire sections can be totally empty. Two days ago, the entire dairy section was empty. Bread is usually half bare so you have to choose another brand and it’s been frozen. If they have canned peas (which I haven’t found in forever) then you better stock up because it’ll be months before you find them again. I seriously thought they’d quit making 20 Mule Team Borax 20 years ago until I saw it in the city last week so bought a box. I can’t remember why I needed it. It isn’t unusual for a customer to ask if you really need two whatevers and can they have one. I’m at the tipping point of taking my business 30 miles away to Walmart especially if HEB keeps adding more Whataburger items that no one buys. Really? They can stock high priced Whataburger frozen fries and mustard but can’t keep milk stocked? These days, grocery trips are third world shopping adventures.
Safeway’s Randell’s is more costly on some items, especially (but not only) if you aren’t a member of their “let’s database your shopping habits” discount card club.
They compared prices to stores that most people have not even heard of, why not compare it to the store that we all know, Walmart?
And I compare against HEB as well. Fiesta was cheaper but they have been pushed into the marginalized ghettos of Houston.
My Wife and I were in one this weekend looking for something for my Mother and I got in trouble for saying out loud “ are they out of their freaking minds with these prices?” Okay so I said it about half a dozen times, but I was comparing the cost of exact same items at my regular grocery store. Lot’s of feel good shopping going on.

Whole Foods has never cost me a penny.
But in Houston the WF prices (except for meat and beer on tap) are laughable.
Whole Foods leans right. Can’t have that.
Only Leftists know food. Right??
