Hi Briana! Thanks for your site,
Today at Whole Foods I was told by the manager that they will not accept manufacture coupons stacked with store coupons. Is this true? Has anyone else had this problem? I got one of the store coupon booklets so I wanted to know. Thanks
Brianna

Whole Foods also accepts competitor coupons. So if another store in the area has a coupon for, lets say $5 off, they will take $5 off your grocery bill. This is something I didn’t know until recently, and has really helped a lot.

I am a big supporter of organic and all natural food. I too, do not eat meat. You have great suggestions on here. I also wanted to add that if you take the store tours where they show you how to save money, “Healthy Wealthy and Wise” I think, they will tell you that you can also save on the case (large quantities) by buying them in that size PLUS when they are on sale. I have not tried this yet so I cannot confirm but was told on the tour that this is the case. Stipulation is also that they have a case TO sell you.

Head’s up too: Oikos coupons are often out for $1/1 and it doesn’t specify size so keep checking the fliers for when these go on sale for $5/4- great deal for super yummy, fat free, organic, greek yogurt!

Thanks for the great post and keep on Whole Fooding!

Thank you so much for this information. Because of so many stomach problems & food allergies I have just discovered I have– (I now have to shop at Whole Foods most of the time) and it is a bit pricey.

My closest Whole food store is 1 hour and 9 minutes away, not that I am counting - LOL But I love that store so much and the food is so good it is worth it! My store actually has mark down meat, like Krogers would , not sure if that is true for all locations. I go first thing in the morning and there is some good pickings. We cook allergy free/sugar free so this is a good store for us and love the bulk food section which is another good way to save money! As for trader Joe's, that is a strickly prepared food store, nothing fresh (except produce), no fresh meat counter like Whole foods and all the food at Whole Foods is organic and the meat is HF/AF - not so at Trader Joe's. Buyer beware. Blessings, Beth Ann Beth Danielsens last blog post..You know you might be a redneck if . . .

I concur with Mama Bird. I did the grocery book thing and compared the prices to the other two grocery stores here in town with decent food – Smiths and Albertsons. Whole Foods – especially their generics are totally comparable and sometimes cheaper. I usually am willing to spend a little more for quality food. I figure I save on health bills and I know that we don’t need to eat as much as we do. I am buying local produce through a CSA which can beat WF hands down. Surprisingly (and most disappointing) both beat the local Farmers Market which is really spendy. Sigh.

I'm definitely going to start following you. I love Whole Foods and who doesn't love a bargain as well. I always hit TJs and WF since they are right next to each other across town from where I live. If I did live near there, I would (with great glee) never set foot into a Kroger again. I despise Kroger. And once you get used to eating healthier products and try to buy the same quality at stores like Kroger and Publix, you will quickly realize that Whole Foods is not that expensive for what you are getting. And that TJs is a downright bargain!! Great post!! Mama Birds last blog post..Weekend Recap: It Was A Good One

So on the Trader Joe's vs. Whole Foods topic. I love both. Trader Joe's has the best deals on premade foods that are delicious, cheap and gets me out of cooking, while Whole Foods ALWAYS has the better deal on produce (Trader Joes, what's up with 29 cents per banana?). I am digging the Whole Foods coupons, plus the kids' club is great on Sundays when you want to get the kids something to do, too! Lori Z.s last blog post..Fruitful Friday

I find Trader Joe’s to be much more economical and the food is fabulous. They don’t have the same variety of foods but I can come out of there and still pay my mortgage!!

I am so glad for this new Whole Foods post. I agree with Jill, getting lost in thoughts at WF, is like the same ‘awe’ as Target!

By: Bargain Briana

Bargain Briana — Mon, 04 May 2009 15:24:55 +0000

Jill – I felt the same way! :) I felt like no way would I get out of there for under $100…but I limited myself to just $50…but I did get enough stuff for my lunch all week and for dinners for awhile + a few snacky things for the rest of the family!

Cindy – No problem! Feel free to link up. I plan on getting next week’s ad up sooner! This one is almost over since I just started shopping there! :)
