However, when it comes to buying organic, or even just tracking down some hard to find ingredients, Whole Foods rarely disappoints. So, when I stumbled across an article in the Smart Spending section of MSN&#8217;s Money Blog about <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.moneycentral.msn.com\/smartspending\/archive\/2009\/05\/20\/how-to-spend-less-at-whole-foods-no-really.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to spend less at Whole Foods<\/a> it immediately caught my attention. <\/p>\n<p>For the most part, the tips consist of where you can find various coupons, and the usual stuff about buying the store brand whenever possible.

Personally, I&#8217;ve always used it as a supplemental grocery store if I&#8217;m in need of specific meats, produce, or random items for a particular dish. So, does anyone actually shop at Whole Foods for more than 50% of their groceries, or is it more for special occasions?<\/p>\n<p>Either way it might be worth it to read the article and try saving a bit of money the next time you treat yourself to some high-end grocery shopping.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whole Foods definitely has a bit of a reputation as being on the more expensive side of grocery shopping.
