            We don't have a Whole Foods yet but it's coming.

            Walmart
            Target
            Giant
            Giant Eagle
            Safeway
            Bloom (I think it is basically Food Lion)
            Wegmans (this store just opened up in the last couple of months...the first one around here and people love this store...they have the largest selection of groceries I have ever seen).

                Yup. Over rated.

                Not to mention they claim to support local farmers when in fact they purchase from crops that are grown overseas and shipped here. Plus they have a high mark up.
                They are going around and buying up small local mom and pop stores. They did that in Portland but the only one store that didn't sell was New Seasons, which I LOVE! Much better than Whole Foods and truly support local farmers and economy.

                    I can walk to Albertsons and now they have just opened a New Seasons that is also within walking distance. So between the two, I can get regular stuff or good stuff.

                        I disagree about Whole Foods being overrated...expensive, yes...but not overrated. I personally love it...it's a kickarse store...here's the one in Oakland...it's HUGE (that's just one corner)...



                        You just can't beat its selection of beer for example..





                        Gotta love that!

                            YUK!!
                            I hate it, they might be cheap but the quality of their Veggies is awful
                            they have ok ready meals though
                            yet it is soooo crowded at 3:00 the line loops around the store

                                Oakland has literally tons of Mexican markets...one third of Oakland is Hispanic...the biggest chains are Mi Pueblo, Mi Tierra. and Los Mexicanos.

                                Mi Pueblo is a kickarse market on High St and International...it has a taqueria, a deli, unique produce, the largest carniceria in Oakland, the best Mexican breads and pastries...and it's also famous for it's outdoor grilled chickens (pollos a la parilla)...for under $10...you get a whole chicken with tortillas ans salsa...delicious...a better and healthier option than KFC...that's for damn sure...






                                Read about what this blogger says about Mi Pueblo:
