INSIDE THE MOST EXPENSIVE FOOD STORE UK | Wholefoods London 

When my mother had cancer, she chose hospice care instead of treatment. She wanted to live in the moment and splash out for the first time in her life, and that included shopping at Whole Foods for practically all her groceries (and lots and lots of wine). She ended up living v comfortably and carefree for almost two years 😊

“ I know what a baked potato is, I’m not an idiot “ hilarious and typical, wonderfully delightful Hannah 😂❤

They call it” whole paycheck” here in the US! Love your retail tours🛍

Nobody can do a supermarket shopping trip like Hannah, absolutely brilliant, that is why I would never try. I wish we had a Whole Foods in Birmingham it would be wonderful. I just cannot believe the choice one has. I must say when you left the supermarket I did notice the £549 bottle of wine in your back pocket😂😂😂

I don't know what it is but there is something so relaxing about watching Hannah food shop! 🙌🏽👏🏽

LOL That was super entertaining! The Whole Foods stores here in the US are normally not that large. At least here in CA. It had WAY more than we normally find, very interesting to see. Yours does seem very "American" in look and foods sold compared to stores I've shopped in London. It's definitely one of the most expensive food stores here, whereas Aldi is probably the cheapest. This was a delightful video, thank you!

Very interesting and amusing video today Hannah. American supermarket food prices are nuts. It was $4 for a load of bread in Colorado. I went to Safeway to get what would be my usual picnic sandwich items. At the time those items would set me back tenner in the UK. I'd got about ¾ of what I wanted and did a quick tally. The cost was up to $35. I had to start putting things back for the first time since I was a student. It was SO DEPRESSING! ☹️

Hannah, you really know how to make such a captivating vlog!!! By the way, I like so much when you make vlogs about food stores, cause you always show us so many cool and interesting products. And how amazing are all those breads, cakes and foods you showed us. Indeed so yummy! That's why you and your youtube channel are the best! Have a wonderful day and weekend! 😀🌹🌻💐👍

Amazing video! I’m so glad you’re back, and I really enjoyed the tour around the store. You must need a lot of self-discipline to shop in there with so many different items to choose from! I really enjoyed watching😊

Here in the USA, we call it “Whole Paycheck” cause it is really expensive. I usually shop in Whole Foods for the natural Health and Body care and maybe an exotic treat I can’t find in our regular grocery stores. I found your Whole Foods had a ton of American products then I expected , like the Brianna’s Salad Dressing.

Whole Foods is considered expensive in the U.S. too. But I agree that food is generally a bit cheaper in the UK. However buying a home, heating a home, buying Gasoline, and buying electronic items like an iPhone, a PS5, or even a TV is generally quite a bit more expensive in the UK compared to the U.S. 🙂

I’m shocked with the prices hahahaha and I’m an American and British citizen. I’ve shopped only once at Whole Foods. I did have sticker shock with the nuts like you did. Thanks so much for the tour. I agree, time to rob a bank or find a sugar daddy. Hahahaha thanks again!

Hello Hannah! Its Friday and it's great to see you! That Ole & Steen coffee shop looks like winner, with such a lovey atmosphere as well as delightful array of bakery items. Beige bits? I'd bet their coffee is delicious. Impressive coverage Hannah! I have a Whole Foods in my area, though it's not quite as expansive as this store. Among all the rest, Whole Foods is known for premium produce. I used to go there regularly and top off my visit with a double shot of wheat grass juice. An acquired taste to be sure! LOL! I think I'll make a point of popping in again soon. Please, do take good care, Hannah love. See you next week!😉

People not living in the UK need to keep in mind the exchange rate to their own currency so what may seem "cheap" isn't. I think the last time I looked (quite a while ago) to convert Canadian $ to UK $ you doubled the amount. So, 6 pounds for 2 cupcakes is $12 CDN, that full octopus would be about $120 CDN and that 547 pound wine would be over $1000. Just some perspective. Still looks yummy and tempting though LOL>

I live in Northern California and our Whole Foods aren’t as big or as nice. Hannah, thank you for showing us this amazing UK Whole Foods!

Also we call Whole Foods here in the US “Whole Paycheck”.

🤣 As a New Zealand subscriber, food shopping with Hannah is hilarious, prices are similar to here, wine for £549.00 implies... that somebody buys it. Really enjoying your channel Hannah, thank you 🙂

Watching this from Phoenix Arizona while waiting for my Whole Foods order to be delivered 😂 Grocery prices in Phoenix have gone up a lot, so WF prices aren’t that different from the standard stores. I know I could spend less but I’d have to shop around at several stores to find everything so WF ends up being the most convenient. I’m far from rich, but this is my bit of luxury I guess. I’m amazed at the selection you have there. My WF seems tiny by comparison.

Love these food vlogs. I live in Cambodia and can get a whole watermelon 🍉 for about 50p, but on the other hand a small box of strawberries costs about 15 pounds! Swings and roundabouts

Yeah Whole Foods is great. You know the properties in a given neighborhood are especially valuable if there is a Whole Foods nearby. 🙂 The company is based here in the USA, in the city of Austin, which is the capital of the state of Texas. 🙂 Squash is a fruit! Also known as.....pumpkin! It comes from Mexico originally, though it is grown in the USA as well now, and is commonly consumed during autumn in the USA and Canada 🙂 In fact I think it went from South America/Mexico to Europe and then to USA. (technically pumpkins are squash, although to me squash is the yellow variety and pumpkin is the orange variety.) Wait, what is the "toilets only" sign? That's rather odd. Does that mean that there is only a toilet and no washbasin? 😲lmao I'm kidding, I'm kidding 🙂

Hi Hannah! What a marvellous video! Those prices seems to be similar as they are in ordinary supermarket here in Finland, so yeah... our food is ridiculously expensive. Meat seems to be even cheaper in Wholefoods than here. And of course electricity, water and rents are expensive too. Enough complaining, thanks again for showing what´s going on in there. Keep up the good work :) Have a nice and cosy autumn.

Ole & Steen are the Danish version of Starbucks, but they started as a bakery, so pastries and cake are their forte, rather than the coffee. Not that Starbucks coffee is any good, really. They are everywhere here in Denmark, but they are called Lagkagehuset. The first one ever opened in the very posh neighbourhood of Christianshavn in Copenhagen, in a building that gave it its Danish name, because it looked like a layer cake. I used to live a couple blocks away, that's how I know so much about it😅😂

Always fun shopping with you Hannah. Your Whole Foods looks a lot nicer than ours in the US!!!The prepared food choices are amazing. Wish we had the same!

Amazed at the selection of foods available compared to Australia bit expensive for my budget but great shopping vlog thank you.

my favorite grocery items are goat milk,kale chips,coconut water,kefir,almond butter, pistachio butter,Puck cream cheese, Ovaltine malt drink powder chocolate , Indomi noodle , Nido milk powder , Nesquick choco powder and dulce de leche

A top video from you, what an amazing assortment of foods! Not having gone to a Whole Foods here in the US I don't know how the UK compares to our stores but just hearing how happy you get when you're browsing the food section brings a smile to my face. Where does all that food go, certainly not in that slim figure of yours. 😄❤

Hello Hannah, I'm Canadian and have been to Whole Foods in Toronto because I was curious about the hype and also found the products to be very expensive. They seem to have more variety at your UK store. In any case, I never shop there (went in out of curiosity) you can get many of their offerings at a lower price at other stores. To each his own!

I always enjoy grocery store videos, but I enjoyed this one even more. The drama of those excessive prices was a joy to experience! We don't have Whole Foods here. I wish we did! Not that I could afford to be a regular, but I would drop in now and then to pick up a little something. Brilliant video and thank you for posting it!

Only some of the Whole Foods around me in LA have those larger cheese sections. Fun fact: My sister works part time in WF during the holidays in the cheese and wine section. She's our holiday cheesemonger and she brings home so much amazing cheese, breads, crackers, olives, jams and spreads on the days she works. It's almost too much of a good thing!

Watching the Whole Foods video and when you got to the cut up watermelon and price I just had to check my container! Here on Long Island NY ( in the most expensive county of NY ) the container was 5.99 a pound so basically the same given the exchange rate at the moment. Whole foods is not known for being the " whole paycheck" store for nothing . LOL But I must say their quality is SO MUCH better than your typical supermarket. If you buy their 365 brand it's better food at a comparable price. AND if you are an Amazon Prime member you get 5% off your order! Thanks Hannah keep these videos coming ...just LOVE you ! Your American fan across the pond !

Thanks Hannah for the tour of Whole Foods, or as some here in Texas refer to it as, "Whole Paycheck"!!! It is always interesting to see your UK perspective on things like grocery shopping, as well as the other clothing, department stores, etc. As usual Hannah, your insights are very entertaining, as well as informative! Have a great week, & look forward to next Friday!

As an American preparing to becoming a digital nomad in the UK and several EU countries I love that you show the prices of groceries and various consumer items in your videos which is helpful for getting a general idea of the COL, at least in London.

You’re getting me ready for our trip to the Uk/Europe April 2023. When you went past the drinks cupboards my husband saw Coopers pale ale it’s made where we live, he’s happy 😂 Gina, Adelaide, South Australia. We’d still like to do a picnic from Harrods but we are def more waitrose/tesco people

Another great vlog....your smile and laugh are contagious. I love Whole Foods and we have a number of them here in North Dallas. But, they have a competitor, Central Market, that nips them at the post when it comes to the variety of fresh meats, and seafood, as well as bottles of plonk. So, I need to spill some beans here. I watch your vlogs prior to having my team's weekly closeout meeting. The participants either join me in the conference room or on an MS Team's session. Post-meeting we go to a bar/pub or restaurant. All 15 people now watch your vlog as I play it pre-meeting. We have now added a bit of a who buys the first round based on the number of times Hannah uses the following phrases - "Oh My Gosh", "Are You Joking", and "Beige Bits". Whoever is furthest from the actual number of uses of the phrase they pick buys the first round. I usually go for "Oh My Gosh" because I love the way you say it. So next vlog - please sneak in 4 uses of the Oh My Gosh!! 🙂Thanks for the time and effort!

Wow your Whole Foods looks way better & larger than the nearby Whole Foods in our neighborhood! I'm quite jealous actually. We used to get their ready made food & soups every now and then, but it was just ok. Healthy, but nothing fabulous. Still fun to shop there on occasion. Thanks for taking us along as always. Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊🧀🍷

Good evening Hannah OMG what a vlog. Just brilliant, mainly about delicious and expensive food 😋😋😋. I would not be eating octopus until from a top class restaurant. Keep your amazing Vlogs coming, thank you Ed

"Cheese, Gromit! Cheese!!" 😂. Great vlog Hannah, I agree Whole foods is the most expensive grocery store in the US as well! We just had an Amazon Fresh store open here which you may find amusing! Also, I loved the shopping in the beginning. You should do a boutique shopping day followed by afternoon tea vlog next! Take care 💖

Thank you, thank you Hannah for going to High Street Ken (used to live there) and now showing my age, I was astonished to hear the Roof gardens are gone but going even further back, those gardens were just the top floor of the store Biba (no, not the one Mary Austin worked at) anyway was also lovely back then. The building whole food is in used to be a department store called Barkers. High Street Ken really has had huge changes, but I do love to go back from time to time. Anyway a big thank you for this lovely video, always look forward to Friday’s to see where you take us.

Just wondering if all that gets sold at those prices - show me the yellow stickies, they are probably all I could afford, but have to say it all looks fabulous .

Whole Foods here in the US is too pricey for me, but it is fun to browse and see what they have. Sometimes you find something interesting that you don’t see anywhere else. If it’s something chocolate, it’s coming home with me! Probably. That Valrhona chocolate, definitely, and callebaut if they had that! Always love the grocery/food shopping vlogs, and bonus fashion bit! Very fun video, thank you, Hannah!

Actually MOST of those prices are very good compared to our Whole Foods in America . A lot of those items you shown would be almost double the price .

Oh Hannah how I love your commentary… no matter how down I ever feel you just make me laugh out loud. Absolutely love ur videos. Never ever change ur just amazing ❤

So much plastic. So bad and unnecessary... It should be banned.

Just got back from two weeks in the UK and as an American, we were so amazed by all the grab n go options. We have a small section in our local supermarket but nothing to compare to the options you have. 🎉

I’m only a few minutes in the video. I am from the States. I holiday in England every year. I thought it was very funny you mentioned people from the States complaining about your “cheap” food prices. It is true, but it is the Only thing cheaper than the States🤣🤣. This is the first video of yours I have seen. I so love the UK. I was there in June and feel “home sick” to go back

Hi Hannah, another great food vlog. I have to say I was not shocked at the cost. Here in Australia food is expensive and the cost.of living is high. I paid $5 yesterday for a standard loaf of mixed grain bread and another fiver for a standard bar of Cadbury peppermint chocolate not on special, sooo if you are talking about pocket pinch just do your weekly shop here then you will feel the pain. All as I can say is thank God for Aldi. A loaf of mixed grain bread there yesterday $2.98 but they had no stock. Cheers from Melbourne 😊❤👩‍💼

A well known comic appropriately calls Whole Foods …. Whole Pay Cheque . 😂 He’s definitely correct

I was at a Whole Foods in California about 10 years ago and was not impressed. This store looked AMAZING. I think I would be overwhelmed by the choices. I shop Aldi too as well as one of our local chains. Love the High Street Kensington area.

Hello Hannah, It is so fun watching you. I live in Northern Virginia Metro Washington, DC area. I think you have better prices there in your Whole Foods! We have large stores in my area too! It is an adventure going in Whole Foods, I love it! You are very entertaining! I love watching all your Vlogs! Take care of yourself and I look forward to watching your Christmas Vlogs.

Most Wholefoods in the US aren't this big. Great episode 👏

Speaking as a 22 year old male, you are honestly the only female RU-vidr i watch, my girlfriend get annoyed when i watch your videos for some reason 😅

This is the best food store I have ever seen. This didn't exist in 99/2000 when I lived close by in bayswater! Great vlog Hannah, can't believe how much the food scene had changed since I lived in London. Love from Oz

I like Whole Foods, we have one where I live in Richmond (London Borough) however I’ve noticed a decline in variety of products since Amazon (who want to own the World) took over and since lockdowns it’s got a lot worse. Hopefully it will return to more like its former self in the not too distant future.

Here in Texas, where Whole Foods began, the prices are as "high as a cat's back" (as my late Daddy used to say 😉). Hannah, if you're ever in Texas I'll take you to Central Market or HEB to shop...you'll be like, "Whole Foods who?!" Your vlogs are just great, btw. Thank you for all the work you put into them!!❤️

The 'oh shit' to the chocolate box price was such an instinctive reaction. Tbh I would react the same way looking at these prices😂

Hi Hannah - greeting from New Zealand. I can tell you those truffle crisps that you picked up are worth the money. I buy a 40 g bag occasionally but I make them last four sittings because they are so expensive. And the olive oil biscuits are delicious too - especially if you get the orange-flavoured ones 😊 Have a great week!

I see nothing "special" in Whole Food shop in London, these mostlyare regular quality products you can but in every West European shop... Just visit shops in Switzerland, Luxemburg, Monaco, or France...

There is a reason we in the US attribute the nickname “Whole Paycheck” to Whole Foods. 😂. Yet plenty of people still shop at Whole Foods. Thank you for the delightful vlog.

“ I don’t know what I would do with this”!! 😂😂😂. Love your channel, always cheers me up.

A US citizen here. I was in that store 3 years ago. I loved it 😍 Whole Foods is pricey over here too - but they have items you can’t get anywhere else 😋 It is fun seeing High street, the flower market across the street at the church! Thanks for doing this video 👏🏻

Clearly my local Whole Foods is not the high end store you have in London and it's become less exclusive after they were bought out by Amazon. My local Walmart and Whole Foods are carrying same brands. I'm poor and use my low income Amazon Prime to take advantage of the extra discounts. This past weekend was the semi-annual health supplement 33% off sale. Surprised that the cheese counter in London is about half the size ours and you didn't seem to have the tasting samples, after a few mouthfuls of aged Gouda, it's a meal! Envy the extensive seafood section and the prepared foods.

Okay, sorry for a third comment. Because of my health, I have to buy low sodium and low saturated fat products. Every other week when I shop at Whole Foods for lots of nuts (chopped walnuts and sliced almonds), almond milk and produce, I spend the equivalent of £100: It is unfortunate that healthy foods cost more. Great video. I thought I had seen a Whole Foods in London near Covent Garden when I was there last in 2019. But I could be wrong.

Delicious food, great variety! I agree with you dear Hannah! Food in the UK is expensive. Here in South-Africa food is also expensive, but interestingly, our meat products are not at all expensive and it is of the highest quality in the world. Fast Foods are very expensive for the average person and is considered “a treat”.

4,70 is nothing for strawberries I got 200 grams of strawberries yesterday for 12£ at Harrods and 3 small bananas for 10£ so it’s reasonable prices if it’s Not GMO modified No chemicals on it and just organic as it’s.

This store looks like it serves the Kensington Upper Class (Oligarchs, Diplomats, Politicians, Landlords, Bankers). I’d lose control in that shop if I had the money.

Looking at how good Whole Foods is, the competition in the UK -Waitrose really needs to improve! I went into a Waitrose recently (admittedly far from London in Okehampton Devon) and the store was really dirty and scruffy with loads of items off sale it looked nothing like this Whole Foods....M&S have also massively improved recently, Waitrose need to look at the competition! I really like that craft ale and chilled wine selection!!

As a Dane, I couldnt help but laugh at her reaction at "Ole og Steen". Its called "Lagkagehuset" in Denmark and is in general considered a kind of "fastfood" bakery. Their selection is not really special in Denmark. Strange that it is considered a top bakery in London.

I'm sure many people have said this BUT...Whole Foods is expensive here in America also. Some people call it Whole Check. Because it'll take up all of your paycheck.

A supermarket for the 10%. I'll stick to Lidl, thanks. PS. you don't need the money to eating healthy, actually it's much cheaper to live on raw fresh materials. All it takes is to get to know how to prepare / cook them.

In Arizona all the whole foods stores are in the more yuppie part's of Arizona like Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Chandler, Mesa not where I live we have Fry's and Food City a Hispanic grocery store and we have Walmart every where and the prices are about the same as this store witch is two much.!!

I would feel sorry for you if you were walking in London and carrying a whole watermelon, Uber time. Convenience food is terrific looking in London. Reminds me to place olives on my shopping list. Saute those mushrooms in butter. I like your headband.

There is something about Pounds to American dollars that doesn’t jive for Whole Foods 9/23/22 not even when it’s 1/2 off is it that cheap

This is exactly the shop where I go to to get my millet, quinoa, polenta, tofu and organic veggies. Nowhere else to be find.

I'm a man. Who likes Heavy Metal, Beer and War. I just watched this and enjoyed it. God kill me now!

I love food stores and grocery shopping videos😍please make more videos like this 🤩i'm really enjoy watching this

I am a Brit who has been living in. Austin Texas for 20 years. I remember when going to WholeFoods was not the corporate giant it is now

Food in the USA is more expensive than the UK the stores are bigger all the food in plastic in UK would not be sold in the USA no way

Please do a video and go inside that fairly new massive Italian food emporium called Eataly near Liverpool Street Station in London 😊

WholeFoods had a branch in a posh Glasgow suburb. The prices were insane, and to be honest, the place was a bit grubby. It closed! The only American retailer we would welcome in the U.K. is TraderJoes. Great products, reasonable prices, and interesting ranges sold.

This Whole Foods is massive, even by Texas standards! 😂 I would agree, it seems even more expensive than Whole Foods here. Loved seeing this store. Thanks for taking us along!

Here in Boca Raton Florida, Whole Foods are so expensive. I like their Bakery and you can eat lunch and dinner there.

Angel food cake with sugared strawberries and cool whip is my favorite dessert ever!

I used to work in a Waitrose cafe, it was the most toxic backstabbing environment I've ever worked in

Pump street is a Suffolk brand and its delicious, so worth it as a treat, the sourdough one is amazing

You’re so funny Hannah, love watching as always , really interesting ♥️

I would have thought Fornum & Mason was the most expensive food store in the UK.

I love Massimo Dutti - great price for the quality imho, although not the cheapest

imagine how these markets throw away most of the expensive stuff no one buys on a regular basis...

Quite an amazing shop! Your videos are, indeed, entertaining and with a very natural presentation. (On a fashion note, there was no need to apologise for the shorts and your nails looked absolutely fine)

I’ve been to a few conventions in the Kensington area, deffo got some things to have a look when i’m in London again.

I went often to Whole Foods in the US and I found it pricey and not necessarily better 🇨🇦

Grocery stores in the UK may be less expensive, but I nearly had a heart attack when I saw petrol prices! UK stores have a much better selection of breads and grab 'n go foods than my Whole Foods.

You are so lucky to have such a well stocked wholefood store . I wish we in Canada have such a luck .

That whole foods looks 10x better than the one's i've seen in the US. Especially with the grab and go section and the bakery. But then again everything is better in London lol.

Randon question but did they have any beef liver? Also, great video

Hannah! I've only got to watch this now, but yay! Also, why would anybody take issue with the cost of things! We all know whats happening in the UK, and watch your vlogs because they're funny, well put together and frankly uplifting! The fact anybody would be critical in any way is bizarre, your great! Anyway Love Kensington, and the octopus was a bonus 😂🐙. Have a great coming week 👑🇬🇧🤍

We have a Whole Foods here in Tulsa, never visited there but I can find the same things at Reasor's, which is where I normally shop.

I think it will be better if you want more check out whole foods Manhattan Warner center

You should try Fortnum & Mason. They are pretty pricey.

Main base in uk for whole foods is London .. think there is about 5 or 7 in uk all in London dotted around
