It depends on what you have closer of course. I get the feeling you
don't have many shopping options within a few miles. So if my choices
were just mom/pop stores or stores that aren't big enough to offer lower
prices, I'd drive there once a month or so to stock up. Or to another
store that I liked, because I'm not really a fan of Whole Foods for most
of my needs.
