Internal Thoughts While Shopping at Whole Foods

I honestly have no idea what I’m cooking this week.

Why did I come here without a game plan?

So something better catch my eye in here.

Ok, don’t spend too much money.

But the prices here are worth the benefits—you’re eating organic!

Just buy whatever’s on sale and make a meal from that.

That won’t be hard.

Ok, produce should be the bulk of your shopping.

So don’t be afraid to pile it up when you’re in this part of the store.

One day I should try that juice they make.

But it’s like $8…

Ok, focus.  Fruit.

Avocados!

Definitely buying conventional. 

2 Avocados for $8 is madness.

If I’m buying avocados, I need to buy the rest of the guac ingredients.

Ok, so Mexican night.

You’re a vegetarian, so get creative.

Black bean soup and bell peppers with the guac.

Mmm.

Gotta get some bell peppers.

Why are the yummy red, orange, and yellow ones so expensive??

And why are the gross, green ones so cheap??

I’m getting the orange ones. 

I don’t care.

Ooo a cheese sample? In the middle of the onions? Ok.

This means the cheese section will have so many samples.

I came on a good day.

 

Do I need any supplements?

Sambucus is on sale.

I’ve never tried the lozenges.

They seem like they’ll cure a cold.

But I’m not sick.

I’ll get them for the next time I’m sick.

You’re so prepared.

You don’t need anything from the middle of the store.

It’s all packaged stuff, just eat fresh produce.

You don’t need it.

You don’t need it.

But you do need something to dip in the guacamole.

Ok, so just some tortilla chips then.

That’s basically corn.

Blue corn seems healthier.

I can’t wait to get to the cheese section. 

Oh wow samples in the popcorn aisle too?

Are these rice puffs?

Why isn’t there a sign?

These have to be rice puffs though.  

Wow that was a good rice puff.

I’ll just have a second one.

Where is the bag they come in?

OMG they’re pork rinds.

OMG I’ve completely lost my appetite.

WHY WASN’T THERE A SIGN?!

Oh but there’s the cheese section…

Stay away from the olive bar. 

It’s so expensive over there.

You always buy too many.

That is your weakness.

Just get out of the store as quickly as you can.

Too many dollars later…
