When I lived near Seattle they'd have olive bars in grocery stores. Just a cart with nothing but olives and stuff. It was neat but too expensive for me.

My local Whole Foods has an olive bar but gently caress shopping at Whole Paycheck.

I love whole foods salad bar. I make big rear end salads and make big rear end shits.

I also get olives for my sister. Their 365 value bullshit is nice. So I can actually shop there and not blow a whole paycheck. I'd still rather go to Costco or a local market tho. Unless costco suddenly starts having a make your own salad bar. :^0

Costco salad bar would be at the gas pumps and you just shovel it into your trunk with a pitchfork.

Olives are great, yet I hate pimentos. Or do I hate pimentos only because they are in sucky olives?

While I believe that this could exist I have never laid eyes upon olives on a menu of a craft brewery. But that could be because my eyes are perfectly adapted to only looking at alcohol and also foods that are good instead of bad.

I think that's what olive jars are for I think. Opening the fridge at midnight and shoving an olive down your gullet.

Oh poo poo Whole Paycheck? That is a great joke. Are you about to make a Las Vegas = Lost Wages joke? Killer bro.

Seriously though Whole Foods recently reduced their price on a whole bunch of produce staples and things like that. If you're a Prime member, you get the prime deals, and then the Amazon card gives you 5% off on top of that.

It's actually really good, and rivals a lot of regular supermarkets while being much higher quality. However if you are looking for the cheapest produce specifically, the answer is always going to be asian and mexican markets.

Eh, I find Whole Foods hit or miss and still a tad pricey but yeah it's a bit better with Bezo's buying them out. I also find their produce weirdly often kinda poo poo which k'know is kinda their Thing. That probably varies by locale a lot, but I'm spoiled with Berkeley Bowl and Monterey Market (local produce market) which has super cheap and good produce. WF is still an order of magnitude better than Safeway though.

I live by you. But I was specifically trying to avoid comparing Whole Foods to cheap local produce markets, which most people don't have.

yeah that's fair. If i lived in the midwest or something, I would probably shop at WF a lot more, or if my other option was Safeway i'd pick WF over Safeway. they're pretty much the same price and one is infinitely more miserable race-to-the-bottom shittier.

i like that they do carry more asian stuff than most grocery stores, and have an alright bulk section.

you have to download the Amazon App and login and show em some QR code. it's also only 5% off the "yellow tagged" items.

but no, its not thread worthy. we had a trader joes and ikea thread and htey died a few pages in and WF would just be a bunch of "lol whole paycheck" posts until it died

I went to Costco yesterday. Refilled my contacts rx. They didn't have combo pizza so I had pepperoni. I then completed my grocery shopping elsewhere. Then I went to the other Costco because they carry different things but they did have combo pizza so I had a slice there too.

Thanks for listening.

Go into the co and immediately go to the food court. Tell them you want either a whole pep, whole cheese, or whole combo (co for supreme). They'll give you a receipt with a number (do not lose it) and you go do all your shopping. On your way out swing by the food court again and pick up your giant rear end pizza at the window with your receipt. A dog + churro is optional at any step.

Lots (though sadly not all) churches now have a dedicated pizza line that you can place a takeout order from too. Call the listed number for your co and there will be a pizza option on the dial menu.

The cheese frozen pizza were just on sale for something like 4 for $6 or something. I like the thin crust pep pizza, add some onion and jalepeno to it when you throw it in. Grab a ceasar salad pack and boom, dinner is done for the family in like 12 minutes.
