[quote=Anonymous][quote]What an idiot you are, OP.

I did an Excel spreadsheet for my data-loving husband, comparing monthly grocery expenditure at Giant and Whole Foods, in an effort to convince him that Whole Foods was NOT more expensive...

I spend $700/month for a family of 4 (9 and 4 year old children) at WF. I buy as least processed and packaged foods as possible and cook nearly everything from scratch. Grains, spices, etc in bulk in the bins. I buy some organic produce (the ones at risk for highest levels of pesticides) as well as organic dairy and eggs.

Shopping for the same things at Giant would be more expensive.

So now we both shop at Whole Foods, like normal people!!!

This is what puzzles me too.  I find that at whole foods, if I get comparable products at Safeway or Giant, it is more or less the same.  Organic produce is expensive, where it is from whole foods or giant (unless it is on sale).  I don't think the conventional produce at whole foods is any more expensive than anywhere else.  The 365 whole foods brand for things like butter, olive oil, etc. is the same as the giant or safeway brand.  The bulk bins are great.  The thing that can really rack your bill up at whole foods is getting a lot of specialty items (exotic fruits, specialty brands of butter, nice wine) and prepared foods.[/quote]
