So last night I went to 2 different grocery stores. One which is smaller and seems to be trying to be a bit like whole foods, but not really. The other is a big major chain.
Right when I walked up to the market, there's a sign that says "why choose organic?' Great, I thought, this will be a good shopping experience. Of course all of the produce that was outside next to said sign were not organic. hmmm..what? So then I go around looking at the food. The frozen food selection is similar but smaller than WF. Which is fine, it's a smaller store. The bulk items were a HUGE disappointment, NOTHING organic, even though they had 3 rows of bulk!! I love bulk, and their selection was huge, but NOTHING said organic on it. Moving on to fruits and veggies. They had a fruits and veggies sections. The veggie section was actually surprisingly good, two types of organic kale, a few organic chards and then the run of the mill veggies in the organic variety. The fruits were not so great...umm people...it's summer!! Why are we so limited??
So since I was in the area, I decided to try the major chain store. They seem like a higher end chain store, but it's all in the marketing. In every other aisle, there was a vertical sign half way down the row coming out for the shelves that said "natural." hmmm..so I went to go look at this "natural" section in the chips aisle. it included all natural tortilla chips, all natural potato chips and even a few small bags of organic! wow. does anybody else get bothered by the fact that their eating "unnatural" foods? It's food, your body is supposed to know what it is!! They had more variety of organics in salad dressing, but still confined to one little shelving area. And the organic produce section was dismal.
My cart was empty, although Wedding Crashers was on sale for 10 dollars, so I picked it up.
So now I know what they have and what they don't have. I don't think the major chain store really cares though, otherwise they would promote organics more. The smaller one though, they seem to want to be known for carrying organic stuff - but if that's the case they'll have to actually have the product!!
