I just went to Whole Foods. I may never go back to cub again.

Never heard of it. Is that just an east coast chain?

So you enjoyed Whole Paycheck?

Amazon bought Whole Foods last year. Things are supposed to have changed with regards to pricing and overall operations. Having never been in one myself, I couldn't say one way or the other.

There have been some changes, but it's still more expensive than shopping at the regional Kroger brand.

I don't think I've ever seen a Whole Foods in MN. Couldn't tell you where they are, but I'd bet a lot of money that Edina has one.

There is one in Maple Grove and St. Louis Park right by Lake Calhoun. I mostly go in there to laugh at the prices :D

(though not as big of a con as Trader Joes)

I've been to Trader Joe's. I blame State of Hockey for getting me addicted to a specific dip they have at Trader Joe's. But that isn't really a bad deal, same price as any dip at any other standard grocery store.

I have one fairly close to me. It'll never carry the bulk of my shopping, but lately I've been trying to swing in when I can to pick up some treats.

My usual list includes the orange strawberry banana juice, the peanut butter pretzel bites, the green tea lemonade, the cookie butter, the Green Dragon hot sauce, the frozen chicken tikka masala, and the Unexpected Cheddar. You can also buy individual bananas there, which is good if you like bananas but only end up eating 2 or 3 before they go brown.

Whole Foods introduced my wife and I to our favorite <$15 red wine a decade ago. So I can't talk ill of it.

Have to laugh at this. When we were drinking wine, our everyday wine was $2.99 Charles Shaw (aka "Three Buck Chuck") from our local Trader Joe's. And we weren't the only ones; it had achieved cult status among the intelligentsia. At the Trader Joe's in Cambridge, MA, you would see guys in tweed sports coats walking out with cases of the stuff.
