...other grocery stores have better health food and organic options than they did back when WF opened.
Food snob alert. Get out now while you can.
Lots of good stuff comes in jars (marmalade!). Lots of good stuff costs $18.00 (Rosso di Montalcino!). Pasta sauce is not one of either. Pasta sauce comes from a pan. Sorry. Flame me now.

....for 13 Billion? I'd consider it. (I haven't consulted @Philpug yet)Well, you might want to ask Phil and Tricia before you send them packing.
We are extremely fortunate to have so many great options close to our home.Not in our town. We shop for almost all of our food at WF (and the farmers' market), because the Albertson's and Smith's here suck donkey. I especially wouldn't buy fish anywhere else in this desert town. @Jerez nailed it, you just have to watch out for the specialty items, and it's no surprise that I've run into her at the local WF.
And we get most of our non-food stuff like paper towels, pet food, detergents, etc. at...Amazon Prime. I don't especially like going to Target either.

Ironically, the Raleys that's a mile from our house is doing a remodel to be more WF like. They've added a growler station, wine & spirits tasting station, salad bar/deli, and new shelves (lower profile) that enhance the view of the store.
Someone on our Next Door Neighborhood site complained about how our neighborhood store has changed and she'll be looking for another grocery store option. She is outraged!
Phil and I walked in, (still working on the renovation) and thought, "Wow, this is fresh looking. Nice"
Most of our non food stuff is Costco. We rarely step foot into Walmart or Target. No reason, just don't.
I forgot how bad avocados can be outside of our region.Yeah, those of you in and near California don't quite know how good you got it ... That's the one thing I miss from living there, produce and flowers. (Ok that's two things, but they are related.)
The good news for me is, I live in Nevada but have a lot of the benefits of being close to California...without the California taxes and issuesCalifornia does have great food shopping availability. Oh well, it's only money.
I feel sort of hypocritical posting this article, because I'm one of those people who looks on Amazon for things that I have a difficult time finding locally, or if I just don't want to go slogging through stores looking for things, but...
America's Amazon Problem
Uhhhh, wrong thread, maybe wrong forum, although I am not so sure about what goes on in "Chez Ziggy". . . oh, wait, is that a grocery store?????I prefer Farm Boy. But it's an hour away. Eastern Ontario thing.....
