Ten favorite items to buy at Whole Foods

Why do I like to shop at Whole Foods? To start with: it's very close to my house, closer in fact than any store but Trader Joe's (where I also like to shop -- I'll be writing about it soon!)

Here are ten types of foods I actually prefer from Whole Foods:

Trail Mixes: these taste better and fresher to me
than the ones from other stores.

Fish: Whole Foods policy is to sell only fish that are
caught in a responsible way. So I don't have to do that research.
I also like the freshness -- they WILL tell you
when each item arrived in the store. Some stores won't.

Same goes for canned sardines, tuna, etc.

I like the meat, despite the prices which can be high.

Air Chilled Chicken is hard to find anywhere but Whole Foods -- I have bought it in their stores in California too.
It's better because the process doesn't leave the chicken watery and prone to mess up a nice sauteed chicken dish.
Air chilling might be more sanitary, too, instead of putting all the newly-slaughtered chickens in the same water bath.

I like both the bulk and packaged sausages, which
do not contain nitrites.

I enjoy the olive bar.

Good wine selection

Nice breads, including weekly sales. Though the dough is made and
formed elsewhere, breads are baked fresh in the store (as at most supermarkets)

Whole Foods has a wide range of quality, price, and sizes in oils and vinegars.
