[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - not everything at Whole Foods/Trader Joe's is organic or as healthy as you think it is.  I think people who shop exclusively at these stores are overpaying for things that they could buy at the normal grocery store (plus, Safety and Giant do carry plenty of organic options as well) but if you have the money, I suppose it doesn't matter.[/quote]

Actually, Checkbook did a comparison, and if you're shopping organic, it's a little less expensive to shop at WF.[/quote]

You're missing my point.  WF isn't ONLY organic food, [b]so if you're buying everything there (organic and non-organic), you're spending more money than if you bought just your organic produce at WF and non-organic things at Harris Teeter/Safeway/Giant. [/b]

Again if you're only buying organic foods from whole foods, then yes that is probably the better choice, you'll certainly have more options there, but not everything at whole foods is organic.  And I can buy many of the exact same products at Safeway or Harris Teeter for lower prices (Stacy's pita chips, crackers, or various cheeses, for example).[/quote]

This is really dependent on what you buy.  There are very few things I buy at WF that I can find cheaper at my Giant, even many "non-organic" things.  [/quote]
