I think the point of the article was that they were buying the exact same organic products at each store. I’m still not surprised. I shop at Whole Foods because they carry products the other stores don’t. My local store has a huge selection of cheeses and huge variety of mushrooms, for example. However you’ve got to be extremely careful to avoid all kinds of things that can be had elsewhere for much less money.

Whole Foods is the only place within driving distance from my house that sells really stinky cheese. Sometimes I can find there a piece of Limburger that is absolutely rancid - smells like a dirty jock strap.

Man, it's good on black pumpernickel toast with chopped onions.

My girlfriend refuses to kiss me after, though. Something to keep in mind.

There is a store in my area, small family owned with exotic foods you don't find in regular stores. Their stuff is pricey but worth it. There are a few things that you can get else where cheaper but they tend to quit carrying things when they become “trendy” and show up in the Meglomarts. The odd thing is that they have the BEST deals on herbs and spices. No fancy bottles. Just nice bulk fresh herbs and spices. The only thing I can figure is they supply the local restaurants.
