They're not really overpriced, at least not all products. Notice how they don't sell you exactly the same products as normal stores do. They just pick the most expensive variants to sell. For example, while a normal store will sell you a normal potato, Erewhon will sell you Bonnottes de Noirmoutier. [Just a made up example, don't know what kind of potatoes they're selling] If you're a professional chef then this difference often matters a lot, depending on the dish and who you're cooking for. I do agree that most people do not need to, and probably shouldn't, regularly buy from them though.

Cutting down on grocery costs can be really hard, but if you don't mind stocking up on cheap frozen dinners (like the pot pies), cans of fruits and veggies (they're usually inexpensive), and off-brand products (forget Oreos, go back to Hydrox!), then you can make do with less money.

It's a hippie store. I used to go to one in grassvalley ca. You'll feel good about shopping healthy but expensive indeed.

This chain reminds me of the old-fashioned "Health food" store my mother favored. Very expensive, but there was rare a large assortment of rare honey, like (pale green) lime blossom, and types of grains not found elsewhere in the area.

Another one on my list of "would only shop there if I had to" like Whole Foods, Mollie Stone and Rainbow Grocery. I'm all for eating or trying to eat healthier, but not when I'm told by a merchant only if I spend $$$!

The hand soap in my bathroom pump is also crafted essential oils: Palmolive Pure & Clear Unscented + Clary Sage and Geranium Essential Oils. People love the hand soap and ask where I get it, I love their faces when I tell the its floofed up dish soap.

There's LOTS of cheap soap with fancy names and labels which just has a little perfume in it, etc. Just comparison shop and don't go to insane places to shop.

People should go there and haggle the prices down; find comprable items at Whole Foods or another Supermarket and basically be persistent enough to get them to match their competitors price.
@rogergeyer9851Ай бұрын
Good luck with that theory with zero evidence. Argue for a flat earth and anti-vaxxing while you're at it. Or use your time constructively, and just go to a sane supermarket chain's stores.

So glad the rich can waste money on crap like this when so many others in America are starving and in need of support that they could have gotten for the cost of their hand soap. Thanks for the video! I'm depressed now.
