Try their fresh baked bread, especially the rosemary!

I took my friend to our whole foods one day. She calls it whole check!

It was a fun place to check out, definately for the "upper crust". Having my husband with me, he was freaking out because I had my phone out taking pictures. It's on the North side of town on the edge of Nichols Hills. I took 22 pics !! It was just so different than anything on the South side of town & just beautiful. They have a great website too. We don't have a Cosco, but OKC has changed so much over the years and is still evolving. Our city is huge and I don't get out as much as I used to. Can't wait to go back. There is also a new "Sunflower Market" on NW 63 & May, I will have to check it out too. I looked at their ad online, very resonible. Thanks for all the suggestions, mmmm....Bread.

we have one about 3 blocks (a 3-minute walk) from home. DH works basically across the street (from both, home and WF) and goes most mornings to pick up fresh fruit. We love it though I shop for only what I can't get elsewhere. Their mushroom selection is phenomenal.

A lot of their items can be purchased for less in other stores.

We love our Whole Foods which came after many years of searching for alternatives for my husband's food sensitivities and dairy issues. He is not lactose intolerant - but gets migraines from cow dairy. Here comes Whole Foods and we can get sheep, goat, and buffalo cheese and other dairy products. Our lives have changed. Yes, they are expensive and no, we don't get all our food there, but, we can definitely tell the difference when we do.

You know how they tell you to "shop the perimeter" of the store to eat healthy? That's pretty much what Whole Foods is like - they carry the "perimeter" foods, and not very much of the pre-packaged, processed, center-of-the-store stuff. They DO have crackers and such, but they're organic and whole-grain and healthy. And yes, it can be pricey.

Yummy cakes, our kids got our 50th anniversary cake from there....

Oh yeah, I took pictures of them and lots of stuff. I will probably never actually purchase anything there. Very interesting though and I took some pretty pics with my phone !

Maybe it's just old hippie nostalgia at work, but before whole foods as a chain there were neighborhood coops where you bought a membership and paid either 10% or 20% over wholesale, depending on whether you volunteered at the store or at the warehouse or just bought items at the store. Our warehouse was coincidentally called the whole foods warehouse, but the stores just don't have the same feeling. But the food is good.

It is just odd that a movement that started as an alternative, targeting people who would be willing to work to save money on simple good food is now seen as pricey.
