Review of Whole Foods Market Lakeview

I love grocery shopping here. I find many types of teas and coffees,and different types of cookies too. I think in my opinion that AMAZON ruined them. I found Organic Red Grapefruit on sale for $1.19 a pound. Then I saw the reg Red Grapefruit for $1.49 a pound?? If you really look at these large round fruit a pound is only 2 of these grapefruits. So, I bought 1 for $1.41 which wasn't a sale to me because this 1- I picked weighted 1.09 lbs. Who knew this? They did since knowing that us consumers just pick any fruit and not weigh them. I'll remember this next time.
What I love about WHOLE FOODS way before ( Pandemic Times) they had FREE samples of their cookies, breads, fresh fruit pieces,soup samples. And that meant a lot to me? So, I continue to shop here. And I have, I like coming down here to Lakeview area and yep, shop at the Target, Dinkles Donuts and Whole Foods then do my usual walk down on Roscoe Street to head back to Southport and to catch the Brown Line. This is a larger store on Ashland Ave. And they have many places to shop here. But today's visit I made a short shopping list. I needed some Almond Milk searching for a brand called Pacific Foods in the 8 oz size. They don't carry the single sizes separately anymore. But I did find a few 8 oz singles in the refrigerator near the hot food bar. Almond Milk from Whole Foods their own line called 365. I bought 1 carton. I need it for a smoothie recipe which I need only 1 cup. Then was saddened to find out they also stopped carrying Cafe Du Monde- in DECAF, made with Chicory. Yeah, I can buy it thru Amazon??? Um, Why?? I need it for another recipe. But I'll keep searching for it. If I had it then I wouldn't bought that STARBUCKS Reserve!
Still, It's my favorite place to shop at...
