Whole Foods Market

This store is expensive; let's get that out in the open. But it is really a very nice place to shop, just that everything costs you an arm and a leg. Honestly, I ran in here to buy a drink when I was passing by and I spent like $2 just on one juice. And that was on sale from $3.39. But the fresh items make this store worthwhile. It's nice to shop in a store where the floral department is a sight to behold, a store where the butcher shop makes you salivate and the seafood looks like it's just been caught. It's nice to shop when the employees love their jobs and make everything cheerful. It's nice to know everything is natural and "whole", per the name of the store. But parking is a hassle and I don't quite enjoy their prepared foods. They take coupons but you aren't going to find any steals. After visiting the Whole Foods in the Time Warner Center in New York City, I'm disappointed; I see how far this place has to go. more

This is one of the best places to shop for fruits, veggies, meats, etc. short of growing it or raising it yourself. Everything is the freshest you can buy with a full range of organic fruits and veggies fresh meats and cheeses even home baked breads. Whole foods even has a fully prepared food section for meals or snacks. And of course they have a dessert section that has all of their homemade cookies, cakes, pies, and yummy pastries. more
