My alternative to Whole (Paycheck) Foods is to shop at Trader Joe’s or New Seasons. Same quality but cheaper!

WF veggie chips are irresistible. I think most people walk out of there with a bag.

Awesome post. I’m sooooooo glad to know I’m not the only food freak that find grocery shopping to be an art!!

2 things that have helped save me from grocery store budget meltdowns:

- Suck it up and make a weekly meal plan / menu and stick to it upon pain of death. This also eliminates last second grocery store runs to pick up a missing ingredient… and then spend another $gazzillion on impulse no-no’s.

- A cheap-o iPhone app called GroceryIQ – lets you sort your shopping list into different aisles (arranged by your store’s layout to make it easy on you) and different stores (in case your Krogers doesn’t sell Kombucha… then you know EXACTLY and PRECISELY what you need to pick up at Whole Foods).

There’s another iPhone app that I tried that makes it easy to type in the prices you’ve paid for specific items – and then lets you track pricing history and compare what shops sell what for cheaper… I need to find it again, I think I accidentally un-installed it…

I thought I was the only one that bought a bag of Veggie chips everytime I walked into Whole Foods. Those things are addictive!
