I usually steer clear of Whole Foods, but every now and then, I find myself wandering through its aisles, much like someone who accidentally stumbles into a high-end boutique. Below are the 14 thoughts that race through my mind as I navigate this high-priced grocery wonderland.
- Wow, look at the incredible selection of international foods! From frozen pad see ew to artisanal Caribbean snacks, this is a fun way to explore different cultures, right?
- Is this place a mini Ikea? It’s just so massive! I’m starting to feel overwhelmed and tossing random items into my cart. Do I really need another step stool? Or a jar of Borsari for $5.99?
- I’ve never tried Perky Jerky, but now it’s a must-have!
- Too many bacon options! I clearly need guidance. Oh look, here comes my Bearded Guide-Hipster.
- Is there a production designer for this store? Everything looks perfectly arranged. The bananas are hung on hooks. Did the fruit unionize for better working conditions? The fish looks like it had to audition for its spot on the ice.
- You know what would be a great dinner for my family? A carton of yucca fries and a hand-churned cheese Danish.
- I’m really into these artisanal Caribbean snacks. That’s $40 well spent, right?
- These tomatoes are stunning, but it’s not tomato season. What sort of shady deal have they made with Australia to get these beauties?
- What on earth is Borsari? It seems like a fancy pepper. The label says, “Use as you would pepper.”
- The issue with my consuming six packages of organic chocolate pudding isn’t whether it’s organic or not.
- Do they hire every Vermont artist to illustrate these products? Each package has a cute farm scene or a rainbow.
- Low-fat Veganaise must taste like glue—there’s no way it resembles real mayonnaise.
- I’m pretty sure my mom never needed 30 types of salt to whip up a meal.
- I’ve just dropped $120 here, and I still have to swing by Trader Joe’s.
