Today was a BIG day….a Whole Foods opened up near me. Exciting stuff right there! The closest Whole Foods is about 30 minutes away and it’s a major bummer. But not anymore! Not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing…(bad because my wallet won’t be happy). Plus it’s on my way to work. Oops.
Luckily my best friend loves Whole Foods too so we made sure to get there when they opened their doors for the first time at 9am. When we got there about 15 minutes early, there was already a huge line! But I did see Lexi!
They were giving out free mini baguettes to the first 300 customers. A bit random, but I’ll take it.
When 9am hit, the doors opened and everybody rushed in to see the goods. Let’s just say it was magical. Madness, yes. But oh so magical. It’s big, has a great selection of products, and an amazing hot food bar! I’m in love guys.
Madness!
Granola bulk bin
Sprouted cereal bulk bin. I got some of the chocolate kind and it’s SO good.
Hot food bar
Pizza. Drool.
My friend and I already have plans to get lunch there on Friday :) Of course I didn’t leave the store empty handed. I got the sprouted chocolate cereal like I said but I also got some dark chocolate goji berries, a celebratory Botanical No. 7 kombucha, and a reusable bag.
Now if you don’t mind, I’ll be out selling an arm and a leg to continue my love of Whole Foods.
That’s so exciting! And yes, it will be the death of your wallet :)
Oh my gosh YAY!!! That’s fantastic!!! And celebratory kombucha is always called for ;)
I AM SO JEALOUS! I don’t have a whole foods ANYWHERE near me and now you have two!?! Can we switch lives!?! LOL! I guess this just means I’ll have to come visit you so we can hit up both of them! :)
Do ittttt. Hahhaha there’s actually three within 30 minutes. Does that make us total whiners? ;)
Whole Foods is my favorite! I’m so jealous of the granola bulk bins at yours, neither of the ones near me have that. The hot and cold bars are definitely the best part though!
Gah! so amazing…bulk bins save so much money. I can’t wait to hear more about your finds.
You are SO lucky! I would be in there everyday If there was one nearby.
WHOA. WAIT, HANG ON.
I got exactly that–a kombucha and some of that chocolate sprouted grain cereal.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scary awesome. Are you sure we weren’t separated at birth?
really?? why weren’t we friends in high school?!? goshhhh
Woohoo!!!! What a fun day, nothin beats some whole foods lovin!
Haha my wallet cries every time whole foods tops the grocery list too ;)
that’s awesome!! could be dangerous being so close to you!! trader joe’s is like 2 seconds from my house and i go multiple times each week.. whole foods would be worse!!
YAY for a local Whole Foods near you! that place is heavenly, no?
The granola bins look amazing…too bad mine doesn’t have those :(
YESSSSS whole foods!!! I’m a HUGE whole foods fan. The closest one to me is about 20 mins away but when I lived in Raleigh it was on my way to campus…I was there like every day….lolz. The sprouted cereal sounds really good, I wish my whole foods had that!
I love Whole Foods! Unfortunately my wallet doesn’t. I could browse the store for hours looking at all the fun healthy foods they sell. Your Whole Foods look huge! I think the one in my town is on the smaller side.
You are so lucky, I wish I had a whole foods nearby!
I’ll be leaving near a Whole Foods for the next 3 months, and I’m SO STOKED about it! I’m going to have to budget groceries VERY carefully or I can see me getting carried away pretty quickly…
SOO freaking exciting!! I wish I had one by my house. Booo.
i have absolutely NO whole foods near me wahh!
The sprouted granola is so good! I kept getting it at Whole Foods though I only ever got the giant chunks!
Woah that granola bulk bin looks naöfjejif. Iwant.
That’s so exciting that a WF opened near you! :D Those sprouted cereals sound really good… I don’t think I’ve seen them at my WF, but I’ll have to go and check it out now. I need to visit WF as much as possible this summer while I’m at home because we don’t have one near my school. :(
love this!! the WF i work at is getting renovated soon and i couldn’t be more excited! i also totally love the newest bag that you have pictured! i almost bought it yesterday but am trying to have some control when it comes to the amount of reusable bags i’m hoarding…
So so jealous! I’m really hoping there’s one near my law school next year!
whole foods is my favorite store. hands down. next year i’m definitely going to be spending WAYY too much money there, since there’s one right down the street from my college!!
