And what do you think?
I know a lot of people think it's over priced but I don't. I mean of course I'd like to pay less but in comparrison to the normal stupidmarkets they give you what you pay for I believe.
There's also a similar supermarket here in Huntington called "Wild By Nature".
Pretty much the same prices as WF's and the same quality food, just a smaller store.
The only meat I eat is fish...other than that I'm a total vegan. I've also been macrobiotic for a few years now. My wife eats the same as most other people so she shops at Waldbaums. I pick her up a roasted chicken once in a while from the good healthy supermarket I go to and she likes it. Thing is its a cpl of dollars more at my supermarket. Then just the other day I was at Waldbaums picking up some O'Doul's and I snagged a roasted chicken for her there. She said it was night and day from the good supermarket. Tasted way better from my place ....and this is coming from Mrs. Skeptical...lol.
Everything seems so much better at Whole Foods and Wild By Nature.
Even their phylosophy ... Whole Foods Market : Company : Whole Philosophy (http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/company/philosophy.html - broken link)
..they way they choose what they sell and how they treat their employees. Similar to how Ben and Jerry started out.
I'm more than happy to pay extra to have quality and consciousness all wrapped into one! I wish more places in every field were like that.
What about you?
Be well

IMO Whole Foods is very overpriced.Too bad you don't have Wegmans down there. Much greater selection of organics/local foods at prices that are quite reasonable. Wegmans has been in the top ten places to work for (not just supermarkets) for years and it shows in the attitude of those who work there.
Before we moved upstate we would buy our produce at the local specialized produce places, Johns Farms in Plainview is one of the better ones. Speaking of Plainview, Fairway is also a wonderful place to shop. BTW, Wegmans is #3 on the list you posted .
I shop at Whole Foods when I can, mostly to buy meat and veggies/fruits. I love that store and think that it is money well spent. Love their roasted chickens.
I was really impressed with Wild By Nature's fruits and veggies too. But I don't get over there too often. Hoping to move to the vicinity.

I think if you're a savy shopper you don't need to spend a fortune there.
You can't shop there like you're at COSCO or Stop n Shop...but I HATE regular Stupidmarkets. Makes me nauseous.
I don't eat meat but when I pass the meat dept you can just tell its quality stuff and the deli dept....YIKES...thats where you can empty your pocket book.
I keep way clear of there...lol.. (most of the time.. heh hee)
And yeh...Huntington is my favorite town on long island...hands down!! Thats why we moved here about 25 years ago. It just about has it all.
We only shop at Whole Foods or Wild by Nature. The quality of everything is so much better. I don't mind the prices, I think its worth it since I'm not poisoning myself or my children with preservative and hormone laden food.
Fairway is my favorite supermarket. If you look, they have some great bargains - go there on Sunday morning, and check out the sirloins.
Agreed...excellent selection, pretty good prices, and it's a local place...only, what, 4 of them in NYC metro. I mean, the place even makes good bagels!
