Whole Foods needs to build a store in MY town!
I went shopping at a Whole foods store yesterday. I am SO jealous of all of you that have one nearby. The closest for me is about an hour away.

1. Whole foods I believe started in Austin when I lived there
Trader Joe's is even better because their prices are comparable with Super Market and some items are even cheaper. Whole food, I have shopped at, off and on for 25 years, so I don't put them down.

2. They are nice
They bought out our local organic store a few years ago (that store was already using the Whole Foods house brand anyway. But I still miss the old, unique name.

Oh well.

But it is expensive. I only buy certain things there like fresh produce and some take out.
