I do shop at Whole Foods, but only for products that I can't
get anywhere else.
I don't know why they charge so much for some of the stuff.
It's outrageous.

Our local Whole Foods' "staff-to-customer ratio" is at least twice that of other local grocers. |

It's called Trader Joe's, and their foods are either the organic type |
