Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 we have a Harry's market here too, but it is owned by Harry, who is local, LOL, it sells good health stuff and I go there before whole foods first, and get whatever I can't get there at whole foods because I like to support the little guy. hugs, CHanda - Sue Saturday, September 30, 2006 8:42 PM My First Whole Foods Visit I am from a small town in Florida and now a small town in Georgia. There are no stores like Whole Foods. Sure, we have Richards Whole foods in Florida (http://tinyurl.com/z4zv8 Check out the recipe section.) And Sun Splash in Port Charlotte Fl. But, I was in awe of Whole Foods. Actually this one was called Harry's Market. It was some 94 miles away and I was sure we would get lost and end up in Hotlanta and be killed by a drive by shooting. <g> And, yes...we did get lost....both going and coming. But, My mouth dropped open when we entered the door and I don't think I closed it the whole time we were there. We had stopped for lunch in Ellijay GA, but we could have saved some money, just eating samples in each department. So....why did I go there. Well.... I wanted to try tofurky...which I bought And I wanted to try Quorm...witch I bought. Alone with some tofurky sausage, some nutritional yeast and some spirulina, (at half the price of our local health food store.) We had a great time...even getting lost. And stopped on the way home for a bottle of takillya. <g> Next week....The Village Market in Collegedale, Tn. Oh, yeah...and still waiting for Trader Joes to open in the same town as Harry's Market.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hmmm, I just happen to be from 'Hotlanta'. Haven't been shot at yet. Life is short, stay awake for it!

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I've just discovered Whole Foods Market too, and I know how you feel! I'm from Texas and there was certainly nothing like that where we lived, so walking into that heaven of a store, finding all those wonderful things was amazing. It sure is a fun place, like a kid in a candy store. Kadee Sedtal Everyone is raving about the all-new Mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Yesterday while I was in Charlottesville, for the Festival (and having awesome PB cookies) I stopped into the Whole Foods in that town before heading home. It was large and nice and clean, but I gotta say, I agree with the folks that have complained about the prices!! I bought very little there. I stopped in Richmond (halfway home) for the " little guy " who isn't so little any more Ellwood Thompson's. I've been going there for years. http://www.ellwoodthompsons.com The prices are better, and it's only one hour from my house. Given the prices, and the two hour trip, I doubt I'll go back to Whole Foods. Thia On 9/30/06, Sue <kup wrote: > > I am from a small town in Florida and now a small town in Georgia.
