Went to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's for the 1st time this weekend

[MeachTheMonster]

Cheaper than Farmers Markets?! I dont know about that...In Chicago their prices are pretty high.
organic fruits and veggies are high across the board, you cant avoid that anywhere you go.

and I try my best not to eat non grass fed/organic meat.
Thats just me though.

In my area farmers markets are much cheaper. And organic produce is a waste of money anyway.

And why do you try NOT to eat organic/grass fed meat

You're going about it all wrong. The meat is worth the extra money from a taste/nutrition standpoint.

nahh, I said I dont fukk w/ meat that is not organic/grass fed.

Some veggies/fruit's should be organic. Thinks that grow underground, or have a thin skin should be organic.

whole foods is good for free-range animal products, if youre really into that. thats it

everything else you can hit up a local farmers market and come up, i mean really come up, for less than $20

you can also save a lot of money by making shyt at home. i saw a jar of raw almond butter in whole foods for $14. i can make twice as much at home for $6

imho, if youre really not about that life you dont have any business in whole foods anyway

More expensive =/= better quality

Whole foods is overpriced. The produce isn't any better than other grocery stores and is sometimes worse. Local farmers markets are the best and cheapest for produce.

bullshyt. whole foods produce is top of the line.

But then again you can find quality seafood and meat at Costco for way cheaper. So thre really is no need to waste money at Whole foods,unless you're there for the pawgs.

cost co doesn't sell organic grain fed meat.

In the GAWD city aka Mecca, Columblessed, Ohio

Trader Joe's was cool, but @ most of those prices in Whole Foods.

A dozen eggs for $5.19??????

I can get a dozen eggs out of Kroger for $1.59

I bet them muthafukkaz dont even accept food stamps

The bright side is there are no ghetto ass kids running around their stores

Smells good as hell in there too. Especially where that buffet lookin section is at.

All I bought me was some walnuts and some honey almond cereal.

shyt is just too fukkin expensive for black ppl to be shoppin at.

I dont know if trader joes does, but I know for a FACT that whole foods takes food stamps. most fast food joints out here let you use fast food. and yeah whole foods pricing is just asking to get raped.

I fukks with trader joes tho

Top price. But quality not so much

cost co doesn't sell organic grain fed meat.

They sell fresh non-farmed seafood. And some of their meats are organic, but regardless of grass fed/organic status their meats are quality and a good price.

Saying something is organic does not make it better for you.

I will say that some of the meat and seafood are worth the extra money. Things like wild salmon and the grass fed beef

But then again you can find quality seafood and meat at Costco for way cheaper. So thre really is no need to waste money at Whole foods,unless you're there for the pawgs.

costco has good meat and seafood. I agree. but even with four people in my family eating, the amount of meat u get in bulk is usually too much. I do LOVE getting the boneless chicken breast from costco, cuz its very reasonably priced, plus each breast is vacuum sealed so they will last forever in ur freezer.

costco also has good vegetables and fruit depending on the time of year. when summer hits, they ALWAYS have the best deals on fruits like rasberries, strawberries, and blueberries. which are fruits that my entire family LOVES. they also sell a big tub of spinach that's seperated from the bunch and clean already. that shyt is piff as well.

my moms stay going to whole foods, and she be buying fruit when its off season at the regular grocery store cuz whole foods still has it. and sometimes that shyt be too.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Believe me I thought the same shyt but I couldn't fake, them 6.00 eggs had me right. Put them dollar bullshyts to shame.

I didn't wanna believe it either...Those 6 dollar eggs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.00 eggs.

The yolks be straight up orange like real eggs straight from the chicken's nest...


And the taste...

I mostly get just meats from there. I got a farmer to get my eggs and butter from now.....

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Low key Trader Joes is the shyt

The cereals

 

[intruder]

I love Whole foods but they are pricey. I only go there for fresh fruits but always end up getting more sh!t and next thing i know I have $80 worth of sh!t in a tiny little shopping bag

Not top quality compared to who?

 

[Rusty Kuntz]

I love Trader Joes; don't really eff with Whole Foods like that, I prefer Sprouts.

you're wrong. organic means it is free from hormones and pesticides, which naturally makes consumption healthier.

But the b!tches in Whole Foods and Trader Joe's

The housewife/soccer mom/MILFS be on point......and Trader Joe's cookie butter

And Trader Joe's ain't really expensive at all to me

 

[Illuminatos]

Yo I bet Whole Foods is littered with white MILFS.

I need to go check it out one day. It'll be a good change from all the Opa Locka ratchets that roamed Publix and Wal Mart when me and my mom used to go grocery shopping.
