    Depends on what your idea of clean/healthy is. I find that any grocery store can be clean/healthy depending on what you buy. I do most of my shopping at Safeway, just your standard grocery store, and I think I do fine there. For produce, I sometimes go to the farmer's market or to this little mom and pop produce stand in my neighborhood that uses mostly local suppliers.

    I don't think I've ever seen a dirty grocery store except for Shop Rite in Newark.

    Any of the ones not in Oakland. There's a lot of pee on the floors of those. Good luck on your quest for a clean grocery store, please let us know which one you choose!

    if the grocery store isn't clean, I leave. Seriously - you're selling food, it had better be clean.

    A grocery store is only as clean as what you choose to buy...I happen to like Whole Foods for their meats and bulk items, but I purchase the rest of my food at the regular old supermarket.

    Isn't all of Newark filthy?

    The Trader Joe's in Rockridge and the Safeway near Piedmont Ave are relatively pee-free :tongue:

    Rockridge and Piedmont don't count. They're their own cities according to people who live in Rockridge and Piedmont. Do you even Bay Area? :wink:

    Speaking from experience, when you find one, prepare to pay 30-50%+ more than if you found the same foods in more conventional stores.

    Processed food is cheap and has a higher profit margin. You will have to look very, very hard to find a store that doesn't sell it.

    Fortunately, you can just choose not to buy it.

    Hahaha i think i should have explained what i meant by clean. My definition of clean when it comes to food is anything that is natural or minimally processed. A lot of people mentioned farmer's market and trader joe's and thats kinda what i meant.
    i dont know why i did not think of these two places before. Unfortunately, theres no trader joe's near me
