Is Whole Foods worth the trip?
It is not exactly right around the corner but I was wondering if it is worth the trip.
TIA
We are looking for more Organic Products.

Re: Is Whole Foods worth the trip?
They certainly have a great selection, but you'll pay out the nose for it. Still, I love going to the one close to our house every now and then just to check out the great wines (which aren't that bad in price), cheeses and other goodies.

Re: Is Whole Foods worth the trip?
I think so. I love that store. They also have traditionally grown produce along with organic as well.
I personally prefer Wild by Nature in Huntington though. Their meats (organic) are much nicer and their selection is fantastic.

Re: Is Whole Foods worth the trip?
Well, actually it is right around the corner from me and i never go there! Personally I am not a huge fan but they do have good meat, produce, fish and cheese. as far as the other all-natural/organic products - i dont really buy or use them.

I prefer trader joes- they have organic stuff also- and it doesn't break the bank!

The only thing I do not like about trader joe's is their selection is hit or miss. I agree that their prices are awesome.
BTW, if you have a shop rite or a stop & shop near you, they have pretty decent sized Organic sections (produce, frozen and more), and b/c they are a larger store they have decent prices too.
I'd also recommend Fairway if you are convenient to Plainview.

Whole Foods will put a big hole in your pocket. Overpriced.

Re: Is Whole Foods worth the trip?
I love whole foods... but i also can walk to the one near me.
We don't go there for much because of the $$$, but the produce selection is outstanding, and you can get some great stuff for grilling!

Re: Is Whole Foods worth the trip?
If you're going soley for organic produce, then it's overpriced and not worth the hike.
If it's organic meat/poultry/fish - it's worth the drive time and money.
I'm a fan of Whole Foods, despite their prices -- but I have to shop there because so few places can accomodate my needs with all of my food allergies.
