[quote=Anonymous]We spend about $400-500 there a month, which ends up being about half our grocery bill (family of four).  We live half a mile from the WF, but within a mile of our house there is also a Giant, Safeway, Trader Joe's and an independent grocery store, so it's not like we're limited.  I just like WF so so much better than anywhere else.

Like others, we buy mostly organic natural products.  We never ever buy anything with artificial flavors, dyes, sweeteners, HFCS, nothing like that.  I like that at WF, I don't have to look at every single label, I know that their products don't have artificial stuff in them without even looking.  I remember once going to Giant and trying to find canned black beans that didn't have additives.  Everything I picked up had weird stuff I didn't recognize - in BEANS for crying out loud.

Also, I've never had anything bad at WF.  Their fish is significantly better (and doesn't have artificial coloring or other additives like the fish at other stores).  We don't eat other meat, but I've heard it's much better too.  Their produce is unbelievable - I've never thrown anything out.  Whereas if I get produce from Safeway, it's pretty much guaranteed to be either inedible or so old that it quickly wilts.  I also like their prepared foods for when I need a quick dinner.  Lots of vegetarian options and everything is delicious and beautiful.

Like others have said, the products I buy tend to be similarly priced at WF versus Giant/Safeway.  But even so, I'm willing to pay a bit more since it's always good and for the convenience of not having to obsessively read labels.  It seems to me like 3/4 of the products in Giant/Safeway are not actually food.[/quote]
