Whole Foods Market: Our In-Depth Tour + $50 Giveaway & More

I got the chance to do a tour of Whole Foods Market and learned so many things not only about organic food but also about Whole Foods Market itself. And we are also doing a giveaway that’s perfect for this fall. Keep reading.

A little trivia is I actually grew up in the supermarket/bakery business and when I was a kid, I would grab one gelatin a day(I was always at the dentist). My friends used to actually say I was so fortunate coz’ I can eat anything from our store. I wasn’t into food growing up though, so it didn’t really have that effect on me. Imagine if it did, oh boy, I can’t imagine.

 

With that said, being at Whole Foods and touring the place makes me feel very much at home. I love perusing through their produce, checking out the interior, smelling the food(they have such a wide array of ready to eat), sampling here and there, but best of all, just their overall commitment to having the highest quality natural and organic products available while also caring for the environment and the community is so admirable.

While we got to sample some yummy cheeses, I learned a lot of things I didn’t know about Whole Foods before, here are some examples below:

1. They have Grind Your Own Nut-Butters. I always wanted to make my own peanut butter, no need to waste time in the kitchen, you can do it at Whole Foods with just a press of a button.

2. 10% off Produce if you purchase by the case.

3. Buy only what you need. You need just half a watermelon? Half a lettuce or cabbage? Ask them to cut it. Whole Foods doesn’t want you to waste anything. This is so important to me. Coz I can’t eat the same thing over and over again when we buy the whole thing.

4. $2 off per pound at the Salad Bar on Wednesday. I’ll be there every Wednesday. Yey!

5. They have coupons ready for you at the store before you even enter. You won’t miss it, it’s already pre-cut too.

6. Kids get something free. Head to the guest services, they have crayons, coloring sheets; and your kid might also score a free coupon to anything he/she like at the store, part of their way of encouraging kids to shop healthy foods.

7. Pumpkin Spice Latte is available here. They have it. I’ll try it next Wednesday.

That’s all I’m gonna share for now coz’ it’s time for a giveaway. Whole Foods Market fans, join our giveaway. Win a $50 gift card plus chocolates, lollipop, grow your own pumpkin kit(picture on the header). Good Luck!

  7. I love shopping at Whole Foods. My favorite thing to buy there is the chocolate chip cookies in the bakery. I also like to buy the prepared fruit mixes in the produce section.

  9. Oh my gosh I love shopping at Whole Foods and wish we had one right across the corner rather than across town, but we go there often anyway. I love the selection of fresh produce, organic foods and even their deli department. I'm not sure I can think of one thing to recommend since I try different things each time and like most all of them, especially the coconut oils.

  10. I like shopping at Whole Foods because it's the best place to find those hard to find products! I get Jojoba oil there, and it's the best moisturizer I've ever used!

  11. Whole Foods recently opened a store by me, in Florida. Previously I had never been in a Whole Foods. The whole concept of the store amazed me and I will definitely be shopping there where I can!

  21. I LOVE Whole Foods. I could not name a favorite product, I am a total glutton who can't choose- but I do really love the spice mixes they put together. Just enough for a few uses, reasonably priced. They use combos I wouldn't think to try myself.

  23. I don't shop at Whole Foods very often because of their prices. However, I do enjoy it, and there are some products that I prefer to buy there (like hummus and butter).

  32. I love Whole Foods. I like buying spices and ingredients in small amounts from the bulk area if I only need a little, the produce (of course) and prepared foods. I also have noticed that the 365 (house) brand is awesome and the prices for the house brand are very reasonable.

  34. Love Whole Foods… their selection and freshness of produce cannot be beat. Also they carry a lot of the food allergy products we shop for. Great giveaway!

  35. My town doesn't have a Whole Foods Market, however, there is one in my mom's city. Every time I visit, we go together, our favorite thing to do. I love their produce department and the wide variety of brands they carry 🙂

  38. I love shopping at Whole Foods! I'm there about once a week. I buy a little of everything but I especially love their bakery, cheese selection and delicious pizza. Browsing their beauty and skincare aisles is always fun too!

  39. I love shopping in their produce section — and another thing I enjoy it getting fresh peanut butter! 🙂

  40. I love their fresh meats and their salad bars. I love Whole Foods! 🙂
    You HAVE TO TRY the chocolate bar with bacon in it! They are near the check out registers, it is AMAZING! 🙂

  43. I was out of my element the first time I went to Whole Foods! Although a little pricey for some things, there is a great selection. 🙂 I also love that you can dine there, how fun!

  45. I used to get my lunch from Whole Foods and they had the tastiest choices available! I love looking at everything they have there. The only downside is that it's normally quite a bit more expensive!

  51. Grind your own nut?! Is that for real? How fun! I think I've been to a whole foods once… maybe twice, looks like fun though and I should head back there!

  52. I absolutely love Whole Foods. They have the best selection of products and when the sales are right, the prices aren't half bad! I had no idea about the salad bar on Wednesdays, I'll have to get there! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  60. I don't go as much as I used to. They have the best selection of yobaby yogurts, at a decent price, and frequently had in store coupons for them.

  68. I LOVE Whole Foods. There is one in my city but it's across town so I don't make it there all that often. I didn't know that you can have them cut produce for you. So cool!

  69. Uh. Huge fan of Whole Foods over here! It's the only place in California I can find (delicious) unsweetened dried mango slices. I'm from Canada, and I recently moved down to NorCal – luckily there's a WF not too far from my house. I love going there and seeing all their selections and buying a bunch of flowers from the front of the store too, to make my house smell all pretty!

  72. I love to shop at Whole Foods, their products and service are both top quality. Whole Foods365 products are my favorites to pick up each time.
