We're in Louisiana so I can definitely see how Harvey could have impacted what's available. We'll see how things look long term. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole-foods-produce#post-2772319 Fri, 08 Sep 2017 09:24:55 +0000 808love 2772319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree-there were cheaper deals on some stuff I normally buy. My mom used to work for Costco and she keeps an eye on things...she said they are trying to outprice Costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole-foods-produce#post-2772318 Fri, 08 Sep 2017 09:22:49 +0000 catlady 2772318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seemed the same to me but we've only gotten one week's worth of groceries there since the switch. </p> <p>I've seen a lot of chatter about the reduced costs and how that will affect quality, but honestly most of the produce we buy was the same price as before. They really only changed the price on a handful of items (I think the only things we bought that were cheaper were avocados, eggs, and bananas). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole-foods-produce#post-2772304 Fri, 08 Sep 2017 08:47:06 +0000 808love 2772304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The quality was the same when I went last weekend. I go at least once a month and definitely compare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole-foods-produce#post-2772213 Thu, 07 Sep 2017 15:41:05 +0000 Miss Ariel 2772213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: the idea is depressing since it's the only store around us where we can normally count on good produce. If it continues I guess we'll need to start going to the farmers market instead which isn't as convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole-foods-produce#post-2772191 Thu, 07 Sep 2017 14:48:21 +0000 Mrsbells 2772191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Ariel: i havent noticed it personally but DH has been saying that this would be the natural result of lower prices. When it comes to fresh produce its hard to have to be really great quality and super cheap all at the same time. I worry about the quality and standards at wholefoods going forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whole-foods-produce#post-2772169 Thu, 07 Sep 2017 13:38:04 +0000 Miss Ariel 2772169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With all the news about Amazon's Whole Foods purchase there has been a ton of talk about lower prices on produce, which we have seen. However we have also noticed the produce seems to be of a lower quality than before (which could be why it's cheaper). It is possible this is due to supply issues relating to Harvey, but was curious if this was something anyone else noticed. </p>
