INSIDE THE MOST EXPENSIVE FOOD STORE UK | Wholefoods London

[@Buddy869-z9x]

When my mother had cancer, she chose hospice care instead of treatment. She wanted to live in the moment and splash out for the first time in her life, and that included shopping at Whole Foods for practically all her groceries (and lots and lots of wine). She ended up living v comfortably and carefree for almost two years 😊

[@Monica-js5yk]

Totally understand your mums thinking, enjoying the time she had how she wanted. I was my mums carer b4 she passed and cooked all her meals. She often said to me at dinner time, she wanted her dessert first. I said mum you can eat what you want in whatever order you want, its your choice. My mum was 81 when she passed and i was just happy that she enjoyed what i prepared, so i didnt care what she wanted to eat first.

It’s interesting how like me Hannah can shop cleverly in low budget stores like Aldi. But hey every now and again we feel decadent in our spending. And suddenly splurge every now and again. Note she examined the Hand made chocolates 🍫, sometimes we have a drive out to Orton , twixt Tebay & Kirkby Steven to visit Kennedy’s Hand made chocolate shop and Cafe Restaurant . Our grandsons used to take a lolly stick because we bought them a fresh fruit puréed chocolate lined ice cream milk shake to take away. Last week fed up of economising , I had a splurge and bought the biggest box of their Home made chocolates. But what the heck . And of course our milk shake . The daughter always orders a box of Kennedy’s hand made chocolates on Fathers Day. Kennedy’s also have a shop nearby in The Lake District . But it’s the milk shakes we need to indulge in too.

Whole Foods is considered expensive in the U.S. too. But I agree that food is generally a bit cheaper in the UK. However buying a home, heating a home, buying Gasoline, and buying electronic items like an iPhone, a PS5, or even a TV is generally quite a bit more expensive in the UK compared to the U.S. 🙂

Nobody can do a supermarket shopping trip like Hannah, absolutely brilliant, that is why I would never try. I wish we had a Whole Foods in Birmingham it would be wonderful.

Having been to the big Whole Foods supermarket in Kensington High Street I can tell you it's overrated. The food isn't very fresh, in fact I saw plenty that was "on the turn" as it were.

People not living in the UK need to keep in mind the exchange rate to their own currency so what may seem "cheap" isn't. I think the last time I looked (quite a while ago) to convert Canadian $ to UK $ you doubled the amount. So, 6 pounds for 2 cupcakes is $12 CDN, that full octopus would be about $120 CDN and that 547 pound wine would be over $1000. Just some perspective. Still looks yummy and tempting though LOL>

Exchange rates are making us Brits sad at the moment!

I looked up the AUD$ equivalent, and at the moment £5 is nearly $9.00 , so yes pretty expensive.

Very interesting and amusing video today Hannah. American supermarket food prices are nuts. It was $4 for a load of bread in Colorado. I went to Safeway to get what would be my usual picnic sandwich items. At the time those items would set me back tenner in the UK. I'd got about ¾ of what I wanted and did a quick tally. The cost was up to $35. I had to start putting things back for the first time since I was a student. It was SO DEPRESSING! ☹️

More people live in the San Francisco Bay Area than in the entire state of Colorado! 😲 At the local grocery store in my corner of Silicon Valley, a sandwich, chips and a drink is $12 or so, which is about 10 pounds sterling. 🙂

All 15 people now watch your vlog as I play it pre-meeting.

Ole & Steen are the Danish version of Starbucks, but they started as a bakery, so pastries and cake are their forte, rather than the coffee. Not that Starbucks coffee is any good, really. They are everywhere here in Denmark, but they are called Lagkagehuset. The first one ever opened in the very posh neighbourhood of Christianshavn in Copenhagen, in a building that gave it its Danish name, because it looked like a layer cake. I used to live a couple blocks away, that's how I know so much about it😅😂

They need to open up in the States! Those sandwiches look delicious!

Here in Texas, where Whole Foods began, the prices are as "high as a cat's back" (as my late Daddy used to say 😉). Hannah, if you're ever in Texas I'll take you to Central Market or HEB to shop...you'll be like, "Whole Foods who?!" Your vlogs are just great, btw. Thank you for all the work you put into them!!❤️

[@HannahRicketts]

“ I don’t know what I would do with this”!! 😂😂😂. Love your channel, always cheers me up.

Most Wholefoods in the US aren't this big. Great episode 👏

I like the pink hair band it suits you! 😍

A US citizen here. I was in that store 3 years ago. I loved it 😍 Whole Foods is pricey over here too - but they have items you can’t get anywhere else 😋 It is fun seeing High street, the flower market across the street at the church! Thanks for doing this video 👏🏻

Love your walk about shopping trips. To see what is available. Xxx

[@edwinnalagan9540]

There is a reason we in the US attribute the nickname “Whole Paycheck” to Whole Foods. 😂. Yet plenty of people still shop at Whole Foods. Thank you for the delightful vlog.

The chips bags beside the salsa, Xochitl, it's a prehispanic name and it's very common in México. Very expensive supermarket in comparison with Tesco. £19 for a little bag of fruit. Oh my Gosh!!

[@soulful4198]

Yummy food, can't wait to come to the UK. Thank you Hannah love your vlogs, your great insight into UK fashion

[@adriennelucky2223]

You are just so lovely! I really enjoy exploring around a grocery store. Where I’m from in Canada there is this store called Freson Bros & just being in there brings me joy! So many cool things

[@yelenavics1830]

Love Whole Foods. Shop there couple times a week. Prices about the same as in other decent “cheaper” stores in Los Angeles, we have a bunch of more expensive stores like Gelson’s or Ewrehon. Glad WF opened in England. Prepped food is great, I was never disappointed.

[@annekuss4959]

thank you so much for this video, i knew this store ( three years ago ) but now, i want to go back for my next stay in London, thanks

[@stephanieldailey9539]

The Kensinton roof gardens was on top of Derry and Tom's, the last person to own it was Virgin, I have had lunch there, and my friends Husband used it for video for pop stars. The garden were beautiful, and had pink flamingos,

After a few weeks of watching your channel I have now subscribed. My elderly mother thinks your funny and I just ❤️ your smile.

Enoki musrhooms are used as a vegetable in east asian cooking, although they are not used in most dishes. Just place them in a soup for a couple of minutes and that's it. They're very strawy and fibrous so you need to eat them as a small bunch at one go.

[@juls1133]

Thank you, Hannah, really enjoyed. Have a great week!

[@Funintherain13]

I love Massimo Dutti - great price for the quality imho, although not the cheapest

[@cora7096]

Love this Kensington WFM during our short stay at London! Found some good products we don’t see in the US. A great spot to take a break after a long walk at Kensington Palace. Oh I love that pastry shop across street as well. Thanks for the video😊!

[@maddya5173]

What a great video. Thank you for sharing, it was very thorough!

[@helenayers1540]

I love the fact you are going to different stores. Some of the brands in Wholefoods remind me of going to a farm shop in the rural areas. Thanks for the tour...brilliant as always. Your iphone seems perfectly fine for your vlogs!

[@denisefazio6708]

Hannah, great camera coverage. So glad you are back!
