food bargains at Whole foods

[Guest guest]

Just returned from a trip to the health food store and am always amazed at

how some foods are actually much cheaper there. Frozen berries for example,

are anywhere from $2.29 to $2.99 a pound. They sell a frozen berry medley

(blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries) for $2.99 a lb -

perfect for us lazy folks who want variety. As most of you know, these

berries are loaded with anti-oxidants and are among the healthiest of foods.

The supermarket sells fresh berries at much higher costs. Usually anywhere

from $2.99 ( if on sale) to $4.99 a lb and without the advantage of offering

a mixed berry package.

They also sell shelled mixed nuts without the salt. In the supermarket, of

course, if you want shelled nuts, you have to buy the salt and the oil that

comes with it - unwanted extras.
