Honestly, Whole Foods sold overpriced crap before they were acquired by Amazon and continued to sell overpriced crap afterwards. For comparison, a box of store-brand macaroni and cheese, obviously an American staple food eaten on a daily basis, costs twice as much at Whole Foods compared to a regular grocery store (Walmart, Kroger, &c.) and triple what it would cost at a cheap grocery store.
Pound of chicken breast at Whole Foods: $6
Pound of chicken breast at Walmart: $3
Pound of chicken breast at WinCo: $2
and
Frozen pizza at Whole Foods: $10
Frozen pizza at Walmart: $4
It’s like this for basically everything. If you’d normally spend $80 a week on grocery, you’d instead spend $150 at Whole Foods. But at least the food is organic, right??
Yeah they were big before Amazon bought them. It was a huge investment to try to get into grocery
