Not even close. If you want to have an aneurysm, go to Whole Foods.

When was the last time you were at Whole Foods?

They've made an effort to lower their prices to a competitive level, likely made possible when they were taken over by the deep pockets of Jeff Bezos, who offers additional savings if shoppers are also Amazon Prime members.

I go about once a year since there's a corn-free baking powder I've only been able to find there. I also buy the 365 brand ginger ale, which works for settling my stomach when I'm sick, but I buy that even less frequently. Their prices came down slightly but their quality came down more IMO. Whole Foods is still more expensive than every other grocery store in my area, and I tend to shop at Sprouts, which is not cheap but has much better produce.

Sprouts is really good for veggies and fruit.  I used to go there all the time before I discover the best deal of all on that stuff which is Sam’s club or Costco.  They just don’t have the variety.  But for strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and raspberries it’s the best deal and good quality.  Same with the meat section.

Sprouts can be good for fruits and veggies but the thing I love most there is their fish counter and some of their in-house bakery items like jalapeño cheddar focaccia bread. They’re also good if you want a turkey to brine and smoke because they have some that aren’t already pumped with solution.

Our Sam’s has the best beef and pork of anywhere else I’ve found. The grocery stores don’t even come close on price or quality. Even better than most small butcher shops or the Omaha Steaks type places online.  A lot of their fruits (particularly the berries you mentioned) and vegetables are really good but some items are horrible. It’s pretty easy to tell which ones are bad though, if you know how to pick out melons etc.

Our King Soopers has really good produce also. So between there and Sam’s you’re usually good to go.
