To each his own, folks. We live a couple of blocks from the
shopping/downtown district of our town which has three grocery stores in
it, a Stop 'N' Shop, a Kings, and a Whole Foods. Part of why I shop at
WF is that it's the perfect walk for me, about a mile each way, and I go
grocery shopping often enough that I get what I need into a small
backpack most of the time. It's a "lifestyle" choice as well as a
grocery store choice. I go to TJ's when I'm already out in the car,
usually after taking my son to school first thing in the morning. We've
belonged to Price Club (Costco) and BJ's in the past - it's just not my
thing at this point in my life. If that's where you like to shop, more
power to you, and if you invite me over, I'll be glad to eat whatever
you're serving, wherever it came from.

And, that said, I have confidence in what I buy from Whole Foods and
that's priceless. Everything there is more expensive and I don't buy
everything there, but they are my go-to place for deli meat and fresh
meat, poultry, and fish. We could argue endless about what's a better
grocery store, what's a better value, what's worth it and what's not
worth it, etc. I'm not wealthy but I'm happy with my buying choices,
otherwise I'd change them.

We now return you to your previous program, already in progress.
