Whole Foods Market
We’ve all heard someone complain about spending their entire paycheck at Whole Foods at some point in the last few years.
Well, that’s probably because this nationwide grocery store chain is among the most expensive supermarkets in our nation, according to the Consumer Reports data.
The chain has defended its high prices in the past, crediting the quality of its high-end offerings as the reason. And they did reduce some of their prices after Amazon acquired them, but many people still claim that shopping at Whole Foods is nonetheless “super expensive.”
So you might want to get your almond milk someplace else!
I don’t shop in any of them .

I agree that Acme is an expensive food store. However, they offer great produce & meats and the store near me is never too crowded; two incredibly important reasons I prefer to shop there
how about the least expensive in the Northeast
You are correct in saying that Whole Foods is one of the most expensive food stores to do your weekly shopping. However, their meats, cheeses, poultry and other select foods are much more superior than your Walmarts, Publix’s and other food stores.
Also, Whole Foods often have weekly specials on many of their food items-making a little cheaper to shop.
I live in Chicago, and to be fair, Jewel Osco is far from the most expensive grocery store in our area. Jewel has a robust (no fee) Rewards program with rotating weekly promotions. And regular (non-promo) shelf prices are competitive with other grocery stores here. P.S. I do not work for Jewel Osco. Just want to give them a shout-out.
Thank you for sharing your research. My regular grocery store isn’t on your list. Each time I shop, which is about every 4 or 5 days, the prices constantly rise. My last bill of $85.00 consisted of four plastic bags. The regular grocery items I purchase have increased by 2 dollars and a few items even more. I am spending 60 – 70 percent more on food each month.
