Whole Foods Shopping Tips: Never Lose Your Whole Paycheck — Find Out How To Save Here!
By Louise Bonquin | Dec 09, 2015 06:55 AM EST
Whole Foods is an upscale market that has earned the moniker "whole paycheck." This is due to the fact that most shoppers are left broke after making a trip to the store.
Whole Foods offers numerous organic food items and consumers go there for healthier options and to feel good. However, once they get to the cashier, the total price on the screen just leave them feeling disoriented.
Then again, although the store has this reputation of being pricey, the food market actually gives bargain hunters numerous ways to save and here some examples:
Shop on Wednesdays
As said by Whole Foods content editor, Molly Siegler, to Business Insider, the secret to getting the best deals is to take note of Wednesdays. "New weekly sales start on Wednesday and run through the following Wednesday, so there are actually double sales every Wednesday," she said.
Shop when it's sale
This is obvious but still many shoppers don't do this. Check when the store will hold sales and do your shopping on that day. On regular days, there are still items up on sale - look out for the yellow and red tags.
Get discount coupons
Whole foods honor manufacturer coupons and they have downloadable ones on their own website as well. Use them for in-store discounts.
Choose produce in season
Produce that's in season are typically sold on lower prices so buy fruits and vegetables that are at their peak.
Leave out the prepared/pre-cut produce
It may be more convenient to buy those pre-cut fruits and veggies, however since someone else have already prepared them for you, they come with higher price tag.
Buy by the bulk
Buying in bulk is cheaper than packaged ones of the same item. Plus, you can opt to buy just the exact amount you need. The bulk bin section offers variety of foodstuffs including pastas, baking supplies, grains, oats, beans, tea, seeds, nuts and more!
Bring your own reusable bags
You get discount for each bag so bring lots. At the checkout, a $0.10 off (for every bag) will be deducted to your total purchase. Bringing three to four reusable grocery bags will maximize your discount.
Check out the 365 brand
Whole Foods has its own brand called "365." From foodstuff to shampoos and diapers, you can get them at good prices under this brand. They are cheaper so you save money.
In conclusion, you don't have to bust your budget when shopping at Whole Foods. With just a little planning and know-how, you can effectively bring home better food choices for less.
