I miss Whole Foods. There's, I believe, ONE in all of Oklahoma, and it's almost a three hour drive from here.

Where do you live again? They're about to start building one on Classen Curve near Chesapeake. But I can't remember if you live near the city or not.

OMG, REALLY!?

I live in Norman, so a trip to the city is not unreasonable.

Yup yup. Here.

It's going to be awhile yet before it opens, but it's coming. There's a ton of stuff popping up in that area.

Whole Foods is awesome...but when we lived near one, I spent like $200/week on groceries for two. Tasty, sure, but expensive as all hell.

Which is why I like Trader Joe's.

They sell a lot of the stuff needed to qualify under "hippie health food" store, but they carry enough beer, wine, cookies and other stuff that's not necessarily good for you.

The prices are really cheap and you gotta a store that will let you return anything, at anytime for any reason for a full refund.

The Twin Cities has a pretty sweet chain for higher end foods. http://kowalskis.com/

Rochester should be getting a Trader Joe's soon. Yay!

I though he was wondering about the absurd idea as there being "Enough beer".

And if you avoid stuff that's specifically "Organic" it's usually about 80% of the main chain grocery store price and still has an ingredient list that's pronounceable. You really can't go wrong with the combination of cheaper, tastes better, and (marginally) less processed.

Their produce is still pretty bad though, but that's what Asian/Persian supermarkets are for.
