“Insider Secrets: 8 Whole Foods Purchases That Could Drain Your Wallet!”
Rotisserie Chicken: You’d save so much time just buying a classic rotisserie chicken at Whole Foods. It’s already cooked, and you can buy an organic one. “Meh,” is how most customers rate it, though. Most say that the Costco one, which is a cult favorite, is not only better but also cheaper.
Pre-Cut Produce: The easiest way to get your fruits in for the day is to grab a container of pre-cut fruits, whether it’s watermelon, mango, or sliced strawberries. Those containers cost a fortune compared to what it would cost to buy the whole fruits and cut them yourself.
Croissants: Okay, hear me out. The Whole Foods Bakery is amazing with its cakes and cookies. However, their croissants are just not that good. They are also really expensive, so it’s best to skip these when you’re at the store. Perhaps grab a Berry Chantilly Cake for dessert instead.

Basic Produce: You should go to Whole Foods for the organic and the hard-to-find produce, not the conventional stuff like avocados and spinach. You’ll pay a lot more than buying them at your regular grocery store.
Fresh Fish: While the fish is always “responsibly farmed,” many will question just how fresh it is. It’s also quite expensive, so if it looks old, save yourself some money and skip that department entirely.
Bulk Nuts: It’s tempting to grab a bag and start dispensing nuts into your bag. Pistachios, macadamia nuts, and more can add up quickly by the time that bag makes it to the scale. You could be paying $10 – $20 per pound, which is higher than what you’d pay at Walmart or Aldi.
