Even if prices at Whole Foods got way more competitive right after Amazon bought the chain in 2017, it still raised the majority of prices. In fact, some people took to the internet to share their opinions on this, saying that the chain isn’t as good as it used to be: “They had better quality stuff before, and they were more focused on local procurement of products and produce.”

  1. I agree that Gelson’s is badly overpriced but, their quality is second-to-none & when they’re your neighborhood grocery, those few Pennie’s-higher are easy to get accustomed to

  2. We don’t have any of these in Southeastern Wisconsin except Whole Foods. And both Whole Foods locations aren’t even in my neighborhood.

  3. You forgot about srinkflation?? It’s so messed up everywhere. Even old spice is doing it now.

  4. I’m not a regular Von’s shopper however, I do shop their sister store, Albertson’s…the sale price items and they are great. This from a “super shopper”. The reason I go to Albertsons is largely, Albertsons is closer. Again, I only shop the sale items. They do run “good sales”.

  5. Amazon Fresh Stores.

    I’ve been shopping there and I have to say their prices are incredibly low. Produce and fruit are top quality. As good as Sprout’s. And you can check out with the wave of your hand!

  6. I go to Shaws in Newburyport Ma I have always been satisfied with their produce, meats and baked goods.
    I do agree their prices are not competitive but I have usually been satisfied with the courtesy of their employees
