[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I budgeted and watched spending closely until $2M. I didn't feel comfortable at Whole Foods, except for a specialty item now and then. We splurged on 1 expensive vacation per year but otherwise kept travel to staying with family and friends. I shopped sales. We talked about big purchases.  We reviewed spending and our budget 4 times a year. Very consistent with all that until $2M. Once we hit that, it was like a light switch for me, and I'm not sure that's good. But now I have no guilt about Whole Foods, we fly first class, DH just made a $25k charitable donation without talking to me first and I didn't blink an eye. [/quote]

Is this a hoax post?  Whole Foods?  It’s not even in the same ballpark as First Class.  I think Whole Foods is in the middle of the pack in terms of price.  Wegmans is definitely more expensive.[/quote]

Haha - I had the opposite reaction.  I feel like it has to not be a post because it's so random that no one could make it up, but it's something that the poster had a "thing" about previously. [/quote]

I'm the one who originally considered Whole Foods to be for rich people. Is that not true anymore? I still consider doing a regular grocery shop at Whole Foods/Balduccis to be a luxury similar to first class! I'm talking about your whole family grocery shop for the week. Maybe I denied myself Whole Foods for too long! I was a Giant or Safeway generic brands only shopper and I only started to buy clothes at full price recently. [/quote]

It got cheaper and started carrying more affordable generic items when Amazon bought it. It’s still pricier than your average Safeway/Giant haul but not necessarily at “only rich people” levels. [/quote]
