I wish there was a Whole Foods close to us. There IS a Wild Oats that was recently bought out by Whole Foods not all that terribly far from us, but still not as close as I would like. I still buy things from regular supermarkets. It would be prohibitive for me to try to go purist about grocery shopping, so on things that don’t matter, I go to Kroger or Save A Lot or even Walmart sometimes. - There’s supposed to be a bargain whole foods (Turnip Truck) in Nashville, but that’s just too far for me to justify. - Heck, at my age, just getting the few miles in to the regular store is about all I can do most times.
Meijer is getting smart. They’re now selling reusable shopping bags at $.99 each. Not only are they attractive — a nice, bright blue with a green leaf — they’re well designed. They hold your 2-litres upright, are very sturdy and have a pocket in the front. I bought three my last visit and will probably buy a few more. The plastic bags, imho, are a nuisance. They’re good for holding a gallon of milk (in case it leaks) but they multiply like rabbits in the trash.
