I love the salad bar. Overpriced? Hell yes. But does it taste good? *drool* I'm a sucker for variety. I literally ran in today just for peanut butter because I don't want anything in mine. Just peanuts! And I'll get a smoothie if I'm feeling super feisty! But they have a huge variety of foods for vegetarians and vegans which is super nice for my family. But that again is special treats when we have the cash flow.

Before I moved, the Whole Foods there had a horribly bakery section. It's funny how it varies from store to store (and annoying too, honestly, as you can't get nutrition info because of it).

Cheaper WFM 365 brands such as yogurt, almond milk, eggs, frozen fruit actually save me money. Then I buy stevia, organic turkey, flax seed because I can find it there. Veggies-fruit: too expensive, often conventionally grown. Save your $.

I love their hummus. It really is the best I've ever tasted. Produce is also something I am willing to pay a little more for at WF.

I buy their 365 Low Sodium tuna (buy 12 cans and get 10% off); 365 Unsalted Almonds; Mayonnaise; Gedneys Relish; seafood; fresh fruit and vegetables; their salad bar rocks - I put together several small boxes of various items, so I can make great salads at home during the week.

we only shop at whole foods and the weekly farmers market.. here is San Diego the prices are the same as when i lived in Portland and Arizona.. we just love everything they have.. its expensive but to us its worth it... mostly though, their expensive cheeses... we are a big cheese couple we also love the quality of their meat.. we got local grass fed beef raised here in SD at our whole foods.. its expensive but sometimes quality is the meat they buy is raised and treated well and thats important to us.. if we are gonna eat meat we want the animals to have the best lives possible (we also buy from local farms as well)... (edited to add the meat comment)

I don't find it expensive for some things I would only buy there, diet foods like coconut flour, nutritional yeast, bubies sauerkraut ( I'm scared of eating my own home made sauerkraut), cheeses that are low fat. Can't remember my list but low fat low calorie stuff that are organic I would buy there. Seeds like flax, Chi a, sesame, hemp etc. Prices beat target on things like these

Liberte full fat yogurts. The strawberry and coconut flavors are my favorite.
Isabella's cookies
Justin's maple almond butter & vanilla almond butter
Blood orange macarons
Pistachio mochi
Strawberry sorbetto
Curry chicken salad
Regular chicken salad
Orange chicken & vegetable chow mein
Greyston brownies
Premade salads
Mac & cheese from the hot bar

I agree that the Lake Champlain chocolates are really good. They have also have had Moonstruck & Green & Black's at the store I go to, which are also amazing.

At my store they have individual little cakes/cheesecakes/etc from a bakery called Perfectly Sweet. I LOVE them. Some of the best desserts I've ever tasted.

About twice a year I go there for grass fed beef or local shrimp. . . . treats for hubby and items not sold in our local grocery stores.
I like their quinoa burgers too.

They have non-food items that I cannot get locally or online so I pick them up then as well.

Yes.
I 100% agree about their Whole Food 365 items such as olive oil!!
365 prices are almost reasonable and I am fussy about olive oil.

Aside from the organic bulk section items, Bubbies pickles and sauerkraut. Great way to get some good probiotic-rich lacto-ferments when I don't want to make them.
