Evening at Whole Foods for $5.

If you need some summer activity inspiration,
Take a $5 bill out of your wallet and go to Whole Foods...!

Rosanna and I were informed by her dad that the Whole Foods' target customer is someone who makes more than $150,000 per year. That's why their apples are 75 cents instead of 50, and that's also why you get to buy that 75 cent apple in low-lighting after you've had your wine tasting.

Since Ro and I do not, at all, make $150,000 we've stopped shopping there and we embrace Trader Joes, clearly the place that is within our means.

When we wanted a treat last night, Ro had the idea to have a $5 budget at Whole Foods------- but we found out SO MANY SECRETS WHILE WE WERE THERE!

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#1. you can get samples from the bulk foods. we took a 3 inch coconut chocolate bar and yogurt covered papayas.

#2. theres LOTS of samples. muffins, spreads, vitamin water, lotion, face tonic spray, soap (ours has a sink to try it out), bulk foods round two, etc.

#3. we split a calzone meal for $5.99 that came with a ginger-ale and salad: $3 each

#4. we also split some gelato for $2.49------ 1 scoop of coconut and 1 scoop of blackberry merlot. what!

#5. while eating our treats we watched the cooking class that was happening in the roped-off area directly in front of us and learned how to make pizza.

#6. shoot i think that's it.

Yeah, you girls still need to earn about $20,000 more to fit into the WF class of shopper.

Love Whole Foods. But, you get what you pay for.
I assume you went to the flagship Arroyo Pkway store. I've never been to that one - too big 4 me. I only go to the East Pasadena store.
