The price difference in stores is too much for us to consistently shop at Whole Foods instead of HEB. That's the case for why we don't shop at the closer store, Randall's, instead of HEB. The main thing I've found for saving costs and buying healthy is to stay away from pre-packaged and boxed foods. Our HEB plus carries many organic foods that help you make good choices. We buy frozen vegetables for convenience over fresh, but if you've got the lifestyle for fresh, go for it. One more tip that's so true is to stay along the perimeter of the store and avoid the aisles. That's where most of the junk is housed. Agreed.

If you buy their bag (also a dollar), they give you $0.10 off per bag used per visit. So, you're 5 bags would net you $0.50 per visit. Hmmm, does this make up for the price difference between Whole Foods and HEB--probably not...but it's good info just in case you go on a South Austin style veggie-eatin', hemp-wearin', armpit hair not shavin' kinda kick... --As everyone knows, I'm a big fan of the Whole Foods (and South Austin for that matter!)...no harm intended...
