Tim and I went to Whole Foods the other night to grocery shop. We had never been before because we thought it was really expensive. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Armed with a few coupons in hand, we only spent $60 for a lot of stuff (much of which was organic, which is nice) that will get us through the next 2 weeks (eating things like burritos, stir fry, caesar salad, barley and sausage soup, mashed cauliflower and pasta fagioli). Although some things like cheese and tomatoes were really expensive there, milk, beans, cereal, olive oil and greek yogurt were really affordable.
The atmosphere is also nice because it seems more calm than the average grocery store. In a regular grocery store, I feel frantic and rushed and just want to get out asap. But in Whole Foods, we took our time and read the ingredients and all.
Another nice thing about Whole Foods is that they have a lot of loose foods (is that what you call them?) that you can buy by the pound like barley, quinoa, lentils, nuts, etc.
Anyway, sorry to bore those few of you who read, but I'm just happy to find another grocery store we love as much as Wegmans!
I love when you post stuff, and I especially love the pictures, they're so vibrant. I check your site just about every night, so keep it coming, love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd barley sausage soup sounds delish! Where do you know how to cook all this from? That stir fry dish you made with the ginger is SO GREAT, Dad and I have it twice a month!
Keep 'em coming Brianne, we love it!
Love, ya Motha
Ditto-I love reading your posts as well! I wish there were a Whole Foods around here. Mashed cauliflower sounds really good! You'll have to tell me how you do it. I used to make cauliflower soup, but haven't made it in a long time. Keep the posts coming :)
ReplyDeleteaww i love reading your posts, too! =D and i really enjoy your topics, too. i started shopping at whole foods recently and was also pleasantly surprised. I mostly go there for the loose foods (not sure what else you call them), but may branch out soon.
ReplyDeleteyay loose foods.
