Neither did I! Of course,

Neither did I! Of course, I've been known to eat an entire cantaloupe in one sitting -- so I'm not sure why anyone would need just a half cantaloupe :P

I love those ideas! I never realized Whole Foods would do that.

Great article

I agree that it is ridiculously expensive to eat healthy. I am all for saving money but I think a couple coupons at WalMart would leave more in the bank than $5 off @ Whole Foods. But, if you have the money to spend there - GO FOR IT! I would love to be able to shop there exclusively!

Here is a GREAT article about saving money

Coupons should defintely be used in todays slowing economy. And they are so easy to get and download now. This site gave some links to get some, http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html/how_to_save_on_grocery_bills.html

does anyone have a better link as well? Thanks in advance.

Perfect timing!

I agree Whole Foods can be pricy, but I'm planning an excursion for some special ingredients to make these cookies from 101 Cookbooks:

And for tempeh for this:

I suspect I may start going there semi-regularly for specific ingredients.

Whole paycheck

BrownImani — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:17:46 -0500

Whole paycheck is right. I have to agree with you on that. But for the few items that I buy there two or three times a month it is so worth it. I cannot find rice milk at my local grocery store. Or organic raw honey, or toxic and hormone free eggs or chicken ! I want my little girls to be little girls as long as possible. They have enough female issues to keep them busy until natural puberty kicks in thank you very much ! I appreciate the coupon. Any little bit goes a long way.

Might Use It for A Treat But No Longer Feel Welcomed At WF/WP

Gena Haskett — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:15:46 -0500

I haven't been in WF/WP in almost six months. It was not intentional that I stayed away it was that it was too easy to have maybe six items that rang up $20-$30 or more.

I shop frugal no matter where I go but WF/WP is tough. I love fresh baked bread $3.5 to $4.

There is a Kombucha drink that I use when I'm sick $4.

I have learned to stay far away from the olive case. Assorted veggies $5 dollars if they aren't on clearance.

The meat of the day that will barely make it into two meals $6 to $8 if I'm lucky.

Blood Orange flavored sorbet. Not exactly healthy but I like the taste of Blood Orange juice. $4.5 to $5.

Any other store I walk out with 10 items. And then to be humbled at check out. Other people paying $250 to $300 for groceries. And not all of them are buying organic or what could be called remotely healthy.

Folks around my way like Trader Joe's better. TJs give you a sporting chance.

whole food or whole paycheck?

Thanks for the coupon!

But i still don't think the coupon is gonna allevate the pain of grocery-shopping at whole food. To make healthy and sustainble living possible, we need to support more local produce stores. We don't need fancy shopping environment or waxed apples to go green and healthy, especially in this kind of economy. Whole Food is a very disappointing attempt of healthy living and green products.

yay!

Glad I made you laugh :-D

Heh. It's funny how they make it seem healthier even when I go in and get fried chicken or greasy beans of some kind. or meatloaf! But I think it's a lot healthier than if I got KFC, which I guess I wouldn't anyway.... and this way I can pick out some actual vegetables too.

You made me laugh...

"Man is it pretty in there."

I used to like going to Whole Foods, when I lived in a place that had one, for lunch from their food bar. It wasn't really any cheaper than fast food but it was tastier and one would assume healthier (I honestly never looked into it myself). And on Saturday afternoons we were always sure to score a few samples.

I miss their jalapeno cornbread. sigh.
