This is what I do as well.

They also have some Whole Foods brand items that are quite good and
reasonably priced - their tortilla chips are a staple for us. I also
buy specialty items there - certain teas I can't buy elsewhere, sauces
and their olive bar and cheese selection are quite good. If you buy
on sale, their prices are comparable. I have taken cooking seminars
there, too.
