What's a good cheaper alternative to shopping at Whole Foods?

Wegmans. Cheaper, better selection, better customer service.

A local Wegmans opened up and ended our relationship with Whole Foods and Trader Joes.

Cool to see Jameis Winston posting here.

Krogers, Walmart, Meijers, any supermarket really. It's all the same stuff.

Whole Foods is really the only mainstream grocery store that buys / sells only humanely (or at least MORE humanely) sourced meats, so if that's a priority for you, it's hard to find another comparable store. (That said, many stores might carry the occasional humanely sourced item.) Another non-store option, though, is Farmers' Markets, where you can buy local, often humanely sourced meats, and of course vegetables, some of which are organic. You'd actually be surprised by how much of your shopping list you can fill at the farmers' market.

Farmers markets, produce only markets.

The funny thing about "Whole Foods," is that far and away the majority of their products are Processed Foods.

The old advise of sticking to the outer rim of the supermarket holds here, only fresh foods and staples.

Whole Foods makes a descent oven fired pizza by the slice selection for lunch.

And their "Monster Cookie," is almost the perfect cookie ever. (Need to replace the peanuts with walnuts.) The Macroons are so huge you can take 5 days to eat one. Coconut lovers. One bite apres dinner suffices.

Fairway (NYC area)

They have high quality, natural and organic foods and name brands. Sort of Whole Foods without the gloss and you can buy Gatorade.

WEGMANS!!!!! FTW

when I moved from Central NY to VA I realized why the south lost the war...no wegmans. If you currently live in an area without a wegmans, you are to be pitied
