Do you shop at places like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's?

I like to go to places like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's while I am up visiting family in St. Louis. We did not hit Trader Joe's this time, but we did make a trip to Whole Foods. My son likes to run around the store and get all the food samples. I like them because of their wide variety of cheeses. I always seem to come out of these types of places spending way more money than I planned on spending. Do you frequent these types of places?

I don't have a Whole Foods near me, but I shop at a similar place that someone else also mentioned called Henry's. The produce and bulk section is very affordable! i also shop at Trader Joe's almost weekly. They have such a great selection and if you are careful with the amoutn of items you get their prices are very good.

I've never been to a Trader Joe's, actually I have never heard of it. Whole foods is awesome though, I wish there was one near us I would probably shop there very often. The closest ones I know of are about an hour and a half or so away from us unfortunately. I would def do my shopping there.

Yes, I not only shop at those, but I shop at Henry's and Windmill Farms which have a similar concept. In fact, Windmill Farms used to be owned by Henry's until Wild Oats (which owns Whole Foods) bought them out. I think Henry's might have been started before Whole Foods, too.
I like the bulk foods section the most. But, at Windmill Farms, they have the best produce in quality and price. All these stores have a good organic selection and a good selection of specialty food. As a lot of people know, I need to have a lot of low sodium foods and these stores are all great at supplying my needs.

We don't have a Whole Food's or a Trader Joe's around here. However I think if we had either of those places it would really be beneficial. Definitely would be a lot better than shopping at the big chain stores.

I love the great supplys of healthy foods but it seems like they are much more expensive than shopping different stores. I know that there items are better in many cases but my money only goes so far then we starve.
