Good question.I will be looking for less processed ,whole food options myself.I also like to by in bulk.I understand Whole Food stores are rather expensive.
Keller's Meat Market on Eubank has a bunch of health food, and if you're not a vegan or vegetarian, the meat is good too. I like Sunflower market and Trader Joe's too.
Watch the prices on Sprouts! They used to be Sunflower market, but now they're officially Sprouts (according to what a clerk told me). The problem is, the prices have gone up. I have seen the prices of some of my favorite items climb a good 50 cents. I actually went back to Whole Foods to find the soda Sprouts had at $5.49 each, priced at only $3.50 EACH. Sprouts/Sunflower is now no longer the cheapest place for healthy foods they once were.
Whole Foods is more expensive than mainstream supermarkets, but it is not prohibitively expensive. I know single-income families who are probably making in the 20k range who shop at Whole Foods and the Montanita Co-Op nearly exclusively.
It is more about where your values are placed. Some families pay $450/month for a Mercedes lease and balk at $4.50/gallon milk, while other families may get by with a 1996 pick-up truck and value the source of that same gallon of milk enough to make it's price tag a non-issue.
