With the economic crisis and the increasing price of food, the expensive grocer is attempting to rebrand itself as a value store along the lines of Costco and Trader Joe's. I've always found the prices at Whole Foods to be high and stopped shopping there months ago. Although I do sometimes miss their...

Serious eaters, I have three questions. Have the prices at Whole Foods come down? Is it now competitive with other grocery stores on staple goods?...

I'm a comparison shopper. It takes 3 stores for me to get my groceries-- Trader Joe's and Nature Mart in my neighborhood and Erewhon way on the other side of town. Trader Joe's sells 1.5 liter bottles of Fiji water for almost a dollar less per bottle than anyone else. I drink around 14 bottle a week, theoretically, a savings of nearly $700/year. That kind of thing adds up. Trader Joe's is always the...

Top tier : sirloin steak ; marinated tomatoes & cucumbers Bottom tier : chocolate peanut butter pretzels (Trader Joe's); tea infused pasta salad This took me 5 minutes to pack this morning. Awesome. Since it was the same stuff as yesterday mostly, I just put the steak in circles and plopped some salad inside them. Also, my sister said I had too much steak yesterday (like she'd know! hmph!), so I figured...
