Whole Foods: Groceries - organic and otherwise

My sister and I also call this store, "Whole Paycheck." This is a medium sized chain of grocery stores that are known for high quality and mostly organic foods. They do have some products that aren't certified as organic, as well, but those are in the minority. This really is the place to go for produce, a good salad, etc. Love it!

Cards, wrapping paper, magnets, coffee table books, sardonic baby clothes (motto: good mom / bad day), boxing nun puppets...
