Posted June 23, 2019 Here they call it Whole Paycheck for the reasons you mentioned above. Just like some of these $1500-2000 hr girls. When you get down to it , you could go somewhere else and get pretty much the same thing for a way better price. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No need to shit on others that enjoy it, can afford it, or simply want to live their best life.

Posted June 23, 2019 Never stepped foot into a Whole Foods or a Sprouts in my life, so I can't add much to the convo. King Soopers for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 25, 2019 I used to shop at Sprouts for produce and meat all the time until I got tired of the piss poor quality of the produce. Whole Paycheck, too damned expensive. So its either King Soopers or Safeway. I know a lot fo people shop at WalMart, but I have just can''t get over a self imposed stigma of WalMart being inferior quality in food. And I know that is stupid. But it's me. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 25, 2019 Costco is actually pretty good especially their meat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 25, 2019 Costco and Sam's Club have good quality meats. Fruit and vegetables aren't from multiple vendors. So your selection is limited and you are buying a large amount. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 25, 2019 I shop Costco a fair amount, but avoid perishables. Being single I often throw too much away because it spoiled before I finish the container. This eliminates the cost savings. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the fact that it is a scaled down Whole Foods store (less of a selection) I can run in before I go to my office and get what I need easily without a hassle for the most part. Cheese and meat are pretty reasonable. Grass fed is always going to be a bit more pricy but well worth the effort to purchase. Grass Fed is healthier to consume, as well as tastier, and humane. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can never quickly find what I need in the one here, and even if I get lucky the lines at the checkout are always insanely long with what appears to generally be 2 cashiers working. I really want to give Sprouts a better shake because of the location convenience but I find myself getting more annoyed with them each visit. Either way, shop where it makes the most sense to you! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 27, 2019 Whole Foods and Trader Joes are both very close to me in my neighborhood. But I go to neither. There is no god damn parking at either store!!! God bless my ex who use to go shopping for us. As I didn't want to deal with the chaos of parking. And more so avoid the repulsive elitism at the Cherry Creek Whole Foods. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 27, 2019 What be this Sprouts of which ye speak? Trader Joe, Whole Fools, .......... nope, here in the hinterlands we are fortunate to have a City Market (King Kroger for the boonies). But for the next three months or so some killer farmers' markets and buying half a beef and half a pig from the ranchers/processor to fill the freezer is a fine option. Location, location. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 27, 2019 Actually Trader Joes is great. They have scaled down portions. So if you are by yourself, you can have a nice meal, without eating it for days. As for grass fed or feed lot. Most cattle come from farm pastures/ranches. They give them a little time in a feed lot, to fatten them up. It adds more fat to the beef for flavor. Veal calves are always kept penned up. They are the only ones I know like pic #1. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
