Whole Foods vs. Trader Joes

Does Whole Foods have a bigger meat and Produce/Fruit area?

IMO Whole foods has a much bigger selection of foods. I more like a big supermarket than Trader Joes

In general, yes.

Whole Foods is pricier though. They have great produce & meat though.

I've only been to the ones in Manhattan & Westchester though.

The only Whole Foods my mother ever went to was the one in Jericho & she she didn't love it & said it reminded her of Trader Joe's & was small. She's not easily impressed though. . .

Re: Whole Foods vs. Trader Joes

Although we love Wild By Nature, the prices are a bit crazy for us for certain things like their pre-packaged fresh food. We haven't bought anything we were dissapointed with yet though. And them not having necessities like plates, cups, garbage bags, etc. annoys me.

Not sure where you are but I keep hearing that they're building a Whole Foods where the Sports Plus is on 347 in Lake Grove. I've seen no activity there though, unfortunately.

I think you're right about Trader Joes though, the ones I've been in are more about packaged stuff than fruits and veggies.

I noticed that they are turning Sports Plus into a Gym now.
