Top 10 Things To Buy At Whole Foods 2024

[@JonahCockrell]

Outside of Walmart and Aldi, you pretty much have to shop sales to keep costs down when trying to eat healthy. Even that is a challenge

[@HomemakingwithAdHd]

Our Walmart doesn’t even carry anything organic other then like 5 produce items and eggs

[@heydimoreno1368]

Aldi is good!

[@lynnnash1175]

In our whole county we don’t have Aldi

[@roseadiaz]

almost everything at walmart is ultra processed and the produce is low quality

[@pamelablack8212]

They have pasture-raised eggs at Sam's Club 18 carton for $4.99. That's where I get mine from

[@TD-wp5tr]

Wow… had no idea about this!! Thanks

[@Bizeecentral]

Damn u sams club shoppers r lucky D:

[@kepckatherinec805]

It hasn’t been my experience that Whole Foods prices have come down significantly. I shop at Whole Foods every week. In early 2020, my weekly grocery bill ran from $85-100. During the covid pandemic, my bill for the same groceries ranged from $100-130. It’s still up there. I’m considering moving most of my shopping to Aldi’s and only buying a few specific items at Whole Foods.

[@derekroberts5931]

Yeah most the prices are higher. Idk what stats he is using lol.

[@margrose5]

I make my own keto bread, and I love it!! I’m so blessed to be able to get fresh farm raised organic eggs from people in my area for $3.00 a dozen!!!

[@senorkirlew]

I would love to see a cheap grocery trip with your approved items!

[@javiarre_]

He literally does Walmart and Aldi

[@dawnwalus6587]

he does Aldi too

[@senorkirlew]

​Let me expand on my original sentence lol. I would like him to go to Whole Foods and make a complete list of healthy items under 75 dollars or under 100 dollars that should be able to last a week

[@milesfann33]

He's even done Dollar Tree! You have to look under his videos and read each title to figure out which one he does at Dollar Tree, Walmart or Aldi. Sadly there are TONS of crappy products out there in those stores but there are a few hidden gems.

[@thebestthingthatneverhappe6729]

[@dwise2165]

I’m questioning the pasture raised eggs in US grocery stores now. The eggs are starting to look too uniform to me and the yolks seem a lot brighter, not as deep yellow/orange as they used to be.

[@miryanacolton5674]

I e been wondering the same thing- I used to buy one brand that was really great initially and now the eggs are smaller and the yolks are lighter yellow rather than orange. So disappointing and makes me suspicious of quality.

[@thebestthingthatneverhappe6729]

I'd bet the chicken is getting the bare minimum time and space to be considered pasture raised

[@kimmartin2522]

I try to get them at the farmers markets

[@yordanpopov]

I get the Kirkland brand pasture raised from Costco (not always available) 24 eggs for like 7.99 and the yolk is orange.

[@Blumezy]

Yea. I thought I was losing my mind after spending a lot of time in Germany and other European countries where their yolks are bright orange I started buying pasture raised here, and in the beginning the yolks are always orange now I am noticing that they’re bright yellow and I don’t understand that AnyWho I thought I’d put my two cents in as well.

You are literally changing my life. I am a nutrition coach who is just. Is breast cancer free but still ate a lot of crap and changing many things. I just found you and your app. THANK YOU!!!!

[@Truthseeker351]

Bravo to a man educating the public. Bobby reminds me of Sandy Gooch of Mrs. Gooch's (pre Whole Foods.) Both are serious teachers of nutrition. Pay more for healthful groceries as prevention of conditions and disease. Compare that to the cost of doctor visits and medication. Which makes more sense? Learn to cook simply and save a lot of money on processed food and restaurants.

[@jw8947]

Hope you can check out an Asian grocery market one day!

[@michelleeymouse9993]

I feel like I’m in the best nutrition class ever listening to Bobby talk about food. Thank you for the thorough and insightful explanation on good foods and ingredients. Hope you and your fam have a great week!

[@peejayfromhell]

Half of the stuff he says is made up nonsense or just completely retarded.

[@wanetaortega8514]

Thank you Bobby. I always love going grocery shopping with you.

[@BMoss99]

I wouldn’t mind it being explained to me why exactly these products are typically 1.5-3x the price of the heavily processed stuff if they are so simply made. Shouldn’t the lack of processing reduce the cost to produce?

[@michelpanhuyzen9389]

The heavily processed stuff is government subsidized.

[@plasticstuff69]

Not sure what you mean by simple ingredients. Generally speaking, big companies use the lowest quality ingredients as long as they can maintain taste. Avocado/coconut over canola oil is more expensive. Same with cassava/almond over bleached white flower. The demand for healthy products, while growing is still nowhere near the demand for the typical garbage so new brands have a hard time with costs.

[@tatzja8074]

Because organically grown foods are more expensive to grow - less yield, more insect damage, necessary crop rotation, etc. Grass fed, pasture raised animals are more expensive to raise - they require more land, don’t grow at faster/larger rates than their bodies were intended by nature, etc. High quality oils like olive, avocado and coconut are more expensive to produce than refined seed oils. Lower glycemic natural sweeteners like maple sugar are more expensive/labor intensive to produce than cane sugar or chemical sweeteners.

[@suzannebornemann]

Organic Foods must routinely be 3rd party Labor tested for a wide variety of contaminants, along with the soil and water used against Heavy Metals Pesticides, Mycotoxins. They are not government subsidized like corn of which high fructose corn syrup is their main product that is found in so many processed foods.

[@clementine77]

[@widowswatch6610]

I pay 150 a week for one person. It use to be 80 dollars. And in my opinion shopping there for over 20 years their prices are totally outrageous. But I only eat organic… I love the place but the prices are nuts.

[@cynthiahuber5319]

If we support the local farmers' markets, the better foods and the prices will become cheaper because we will be supporting a better lifestyle... Hang in there, it's about supply and demand.

[@poaponies101]

Yes. Support local. It’s likely cheaper and you also help your local community.

Bobby you are the man! Whole Foods has deals. You just got to know how to shop.

[@chevyhawk406]

I wish Vital Farms didn't supplement their pasteurized raised hens by feeding them corn and soy meal. They also don't mention on their website if the corn is non-gmo or not.

[@uglyvision]

Gasp…Oh no…You might…..Nothing will happen, this guy doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about and it won’t matter in the end. Many studies show not much difference in any eggs tested for nutrients.

I think Thrive is less expensive on many things, but remember, it’s a subscription based service, so it would make sense. As far as Whole Foods, if you’re a Prime Member, Subscription based as well, you can save on many items there too. 😎👍

I would personally avoid all foods and supplements that contain erythritol. A 2023 study linked the sweetener to an increased risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack, stroke, thrombosis, etc. Our bodies naturally produce it, but the manmade version isn't healthy for extended human consumption. Dr. Eric Berg here on KZbin disputes the study. Since not much is known about organic or artificial erythritol, it's probably best to avoid the sweetener.

[@JamesDavis-ei6dv]

Yeah, I agree. I've never been bothered by stevia leaf extract.

[@karynstouffer3562]

If I ate only the things you recommend, my grocery budget would at least equal my mortgage. I understand that you are trying to help people eat better, but not everyone (actually, hardly anyone I know) has a very large budget for food. Yeah, I took a look at Thrive Market. They are definitely not less expensive than the supermarket where I work. Exact comparison on just a couple of items was around 25% higher than my store prices.

[@DavidGonzalez-lw1pl]

Everyone talks about how expensive it is to eat healthy but how many times a week do people go out to eat and how much do you spend? I'm sure for that same money & probably less you can eat healthy for the week.

[@karynstouffer3562]

@@DavidGonzalez-lw1pl I cook everything I eat. The rare occasion I eat something I haven't cooked is when it's someone else's treat, or when traveling. I was raised to be careful with what I put in my body. To know it. To know what is in my food. I was raised by someone who was extremely food insecure in their past. While I'm not truly frugal, I don't waste money. I have never, and will never, pay $40 for a burger, or $100 for a steak. I do know how to eat healthy, but it does not have to cost that much.

I love good culture cottage cheese but can’t find organic anywhere so regular it is. It’s so good with mini peppers and everything bagel seasoning!
