@@faithrada see if your area can look into havinng Price Right - They are an American Co. Recently I purchased 3 lg. containers of Greek yogurt - 3 containers cottage cheese - 3 pts. heavy cream - $15
Expensive but, 1. Shelves are always stocked properly 2. Employees take pride in what they do and can answer questions 3. They carry dairy products that my stomach can handle
Your Future Texas Chiropractor exactly! I go almost everyday. It’s 2 minutes from me. I can see it from my balcony. I just ate a fruit thing from there and some pizza and drank the rest of my Italian soda. There’s no place like it.
As a current whole foods employee, there are some things that are right and wrong with this video. Some tips I would say is: 1.yes the 365 brand is a lot cheaper than private labels 2. You save an extra 10% off on any NON-365 label case off any product. 3. You can request product sample. BUT as a regular team member I am only allowed to open any product that is $5 or less for sample. Anything higher I need my leadership approval. 4. Try to pay attention to a special tag that says LAST CHANCE most likely that product has had the price slashed in half or more!!! This is done to get the product out of the store because of it not selling well and just trying to get rid off it or it's being discontinued and we want to replace it ASAP. I once found a 1 pound fine sea salt that was only 27¢ 5. Yes you can get your ranch or whatever dressing in some tiny to go cups and the cashier shouldn't weigh it in the total weight. I have done it many times. There are more tips but this video kinda suggested all the big ones more or less. PS: all employees save 20% by using their employee discount card on anything in the store. So I would say that is a nice perk.
I also work at whole foods and we do charge for the little cup of salad dressing. They figure that if you put it directly on the salad you're weighing it anyway, so we have to count it separately as well.
I work at Whole Foods and we are allowed to sample products that are $10 or less. we don't charge for salad dressing in the small cups or crackers that go with the soup. It all just depends on where you live
Exactly. When they said, "have the cashier zero out your container before you fill it up." So... have the cashier do that, then wait for you to... what, grab the whole bulk bin and bring it over to the register to pour it into the bottle? Just know the weights of your containers and bags in lbs!!
If you know how to shop & not get caught up in impulse buys, you can spend less at a Whole Foods than Safeway & other grocery stores for comparable items. It's a thing!
Shea Williams well... has nothing to do with being Black. Black, white, Chinese, whateva-when your white daddy takes care of you, you gotta eat what he allows. You can’t get coco puffs. You eat them coco dots with pride. Some of us can’t get food stamps because we work too hard 😂😂😂😂. However, we are free to go to Whole Foods daily because well... white papa doesn’t pay our rent or any other bills.
Sprouts is neat, just wish the nearest one wasnt in Philly which is half an hour away. Whenever im near one i stop in, but Shoprite and Acme work for everyday shopping for me.
The Whole Foods I go to in New York City- Manhattan- The Salad Ressing are included in the By the Pound. AT one time in some of the Whole Food Stores, - They let you put the Salad DRessing in Separately after your Meals were Weighed-- they stopped doing that a couple of years ago.
My favorite comments are "I spent so much money on junk food, I can't make a meal with what I bought" ..etc. Kinda sounds like you just made poor choices 🤣
10% case discount is no longer offered, and salad dressing in the container on the side is counted as part of the weight (but the container itself isn't-- the weight of the container is taken off). Also, your phone number isn't automatically attached to your Amazon account in the way you might think, so you need to opt in for Amazon to share your number with the Whole Foods system on the website. Doesn't take more than 30 seconds, but do it before you go to the store.
@@maskdude6914 Dictation software dropped a word. I manually added it. Thank you. BTW, if that wasn't your reference and it was the name of the chain, that isn't a typo or autocorrect, it's intentional.
ET M Trader Joe’s does not carry what Whole Foods does. Still have to go else where. It’s not even a whole store. Besides everyone doesn’t want to go there. Reading these comments as I drank my Italian soda and fruit things and pizza from Whole Foods. Ohhh it’s so nice to live 2 min away and be able to see it from balcony 😆
If you check the pricing in the bulk food section of your local grocery stores against pre-packaged foods you may often pay more for bulk. Then, of course, some items in the bulk food don't move, so they sit month after month exposed to the elements rendering them less than stellar. Which unfortunately cancels out bulk foods biggest strengths and preventing food waste by buying smaller quantities. Cant's speak to whole foods as we don't have them here.
They are the only store that sells my favorite cereal which is a normal price. But then, I justify getting more things because I’m there. I stock up on it. Nice stepford wife reference.
I freaked when I found that two of their pumpkin seed sources were from CHINA. I do not trust many of China's food practices so that really bothered me. Read the VERY fine print.
I just heard that China is making some of our medicines… Medicines like Antibiotics! When I heard that, I really freaked. I don’t like any merchandise or food made in China. I don’t even like China! Hope President Trump can bring jobs back to the USA!
I LOVE Whole Foods Market! I shop online, as I have membership thru AMAZON! My store is in Portland Maine. I live 11 MI away w/0 transportation, I am a senior ctzn. I find their prices-reasonable... and I live in Hud Housing. They DELIVER-WOW, What a nice perk that is! ... and there is a delivery fee 4.99 if your items are not 35.00. Also a suggested tip fee of 5.00. The store will send you a message when your order is ready and also when it has arrived. I would like to give a " shout out" to the delivery people. THANK YOU rrc
You can’t bring your own containers from home no more for bulk, we can’t zero out the weight if we don’t know the actual weight of the container. I should know I work for Whole Foods.
Me personally it’s still been pretty good, but they are cutting part time health card completely out which is really sad. The quality of food has gone down quit a bit
Amazon is evil!!! They are slowly destroying Whole Foods taking part-time healthcare and cutting hours to only 19hrs a week. Amazon does not care about what Whole Foods stands for.Amazon=Evil
Regarding the information about the sample cups of salad dressing, that's not true, salad dressing cost money ergo whole foods cashiers should be weighing the dressing at the registers.
i love WF and have shopped there always but i don't buy most of their prepared foods (besides being overpriced everything they make has sugar or sweeteners even in salads and they use canola oil on almost everything... and i get grossed out because if you really look most of the food looks old... and taste wise most of it is not what i call "whole foods" ... i still purchase items when i dont have time to cook) i like some of the supplements and beauty products and few other items (sometimes their vegetables are pretty fresh, apple cider vinegar, himalayan salt... however i think they charge few dollars more for similar or same items than other groceries)
Stick to the produce and spices to save money. Some of the pre-packaged shelf-stable products are tasty, lower-cost alternatives to buying takeout for lunch and dinner.
It’s great for your health. What you put on your body really makes a difference in your mood. Personally I have never got organic food Bc is pricey. Do you guys have any recommendation on how to make it affordable.?
Read "The Carnivore Code". Eat meat. Doesn't have to be organic. I eat 1 1/2 lbs of red meat a day. With salt. Nothing more. One meal a day. I usually buy the $2.99/lb hamburger from Walmart. Throughout the day I drink salt water..."Snake Juice" (Cole Robinson) with a little bit of lemon. This has been my diet for the past year.
I used to shop at Whole Foods every week and visit the bulk bins regularly and buy things on sale and store brands. Those were the days when things were cheaper. *sigh*
I love shopping at Whole Foods! 365 brand is really good. Especially their butter. That Brands butter is better than any butter that I've tried. I can't find one that is comprable. I rather spend a little more money and get quality. It's worth it not to be in a store full of Walmartians. I've never been in a Trader Joe's and don't plan on visiting one anytime soon.
B Williams aka “I need to see the manager”: Shopping smartly at Whole Foods has its place. I agree about the high quality and high value of many 365 brand items, though their butter is neither here nor there in my personal opinion (I usually buy and freeze any store brand butter for baking and cooking and most eating, but also make butter fairly often for eating). I frequent places like Sahadi’s, Fairway Market and Paesano’s that Whole Foods wishes it could be, but also the two places you turn your nose up so high, your nostrils are full of soot and rain. Wal*Mart has a pretty comprehensive grocery department and great prices in most every segment and extremely great values in some segments (such as dairy with “use by” dates much farther out than found in other Metro NYC stores and 25 lbs of fresh, critter-free all-purpose flour for $2.50 recently for two recent examples). And the store closest to me is open 24/7/365. Don’t like “walmartians” (but think that is witty)? They ship for free orders I think $49 and up, which might be better for you to save humanity from your decidedly Karen personality. Trader Joe’s also has amazing prices and value for some things, a fantastic corporate culture that yields unfailingly cheerful, friendly and genuinely helpful staff and thus a great in store experience and tons and tons of fanboi blogs and subreddits extolling the chain, so I don’t think your sourpuss attitude is missed there either. Kind regards.
Don’t go on Wednesday. All the sale items are gone. Thursday morning is prime. If you are an Amazon prime member.. quite frankly every day is a deal, just look around.
Vlastalica Jaime that’s your opinion! The people who complain and hate it always have thousands of dollars of tattoos and buy other useless crap. They’d rather eat garbage still end up spending their money on hospital bills. Eat at aldi and McDonald’s! Enjoy, i plan to make my daily visit to Whole Foods in a few hours
And now all those remote shoppers are hogging up all the store space , they are like rats scurrying about looking for food , not an enjoyable place to shop anymore
@Aries yea in some of the ones near me they have started integrating the organic)"live naturally" section with the other sections that way it's all together instead of organic having its own section. (I think that made sense)
@Aries oooo that sounds good. Alas the one near me isnt quite that fancy but the one near where I work is huge and has a decent clothing section and a jewelry store
It's sham people can't cook anymore. Your parents and grandparents did, and you survived. Grow up people, a store can't give you every thing you need. Do it yourself.
Barbara Garner People do cook, you idiot. They just go to the store now to buy stuff because everyone doesn’t have farms like this is 1906. Some people live in the city anyway. And unless you’re making your own clothes, built your own house by hand, have no electricity and don’t have a car, unless you milk your own cows and churn your own butter, then perhaps you should have several seats
