Food is a very big deal and Americans want healthy foods without GMOs.
Get this though, the once mocked grocery store chain, now sells high quality foods for the same if not cheaper prices than other food chains.
Why would that be?
More organic farmers, some within close distance of any "Whole Foods Market" and growing awareness of small acreage farmers raising foods for the table and increased quality.

Whole Foods’ prices vary by store, but the similar price findings suggest that the bargain items listed by both sites are likely to be budget-friendly additions to your shopping list (see below).
