[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WF is not what it used to be.  Prepared foods and bakery have gone downhill, and produce is hit and miss.  Some nonperishables and frozen veggies are still competitively priced.

It’s definitely a preferable option in some areas though.  For example, the one in Reston is better than the TJs and Wegmans there.  [/quote]

I never buy prepared foods and will agree it's not the best bakery around. But find it hard to accept your claim that it's not what it used to be. I take cooking seriously and the two WFs near me have impeccable produce sections. Are there "better" produce elsewhere? Yes, but only on a selective basis. Right [b]now the apples at the farmers market are better than anything you can find in any supermarkets. But on the other hand, much of the produce at farmers markets isn't "better" than at a typical WF at a given time, especially when buying non seasonal produce.

I do find Wegmans comparable enough but it's also further away than the two WF near me, so I rarely go there. [/quote]

I think you're going to the wrong farmers markets.

I am wondering which Whole Foods you're going to, because the ones in DC definitely have gotten worse

For quality I generally like Mom's the best, after farmers markets, supplemented by Costco.[/quote]
