How to save money at Whole Foods

by Shawna

The Bumblefucked household has been shopping at Whole Foods for about 3 years. However, the past 6 months or so has seen Whole Foods being our primary grocery store. It is no secret that you can spend a fortune at Whole Foods. Organic foods that are not in season can indeed be pretty pricey. But overall, you can spend about the same at a regular grocery store. The key difference I have found is coupons. Most of the stuff that we buy at Whole Foods (that is not produce) are the Whole Foods 365 brand or other brands that just don’t put coupons in the Sunday paper.

Today when I made my trek to Whole Foods I discovered something awesome that I am ashamed to say I did not know about before.

This little booklet is chock full of recipes and coupons! Apparently this is something that Whole Foods makes for customers. According to what I read on their site, you can typically get The Whole Deal at the customer service desk. At my Whole Foods though it was sitting on the tables in the dining section. The “More than $40 in coupons inside” thingie caught my eye while I was waiting in line. And there are great coupons in here! You can download t The Whole Deal from their site in PDF.  Have a look and see the coupons that are available.

I can’t wait to start saving money at Whole Foods with these coupons!

First, thanks for saying the words many people refuse to say when dealing w/ finances & being ‘open’ on the internet… “fuck!”
Yes, fuck, fuckity, fuck, fuck. There. We said it.
In other comments, I actually had a cashier hand this to me & start pulling coupons out with me! Go Whole Foods!
A lot of our friends make fun of us for shopping mostly organic, but I really don’t spend anymore than I did at what I now call a ‘junk’ grocery store. We’re shopping smarter & eating far better. Nothing wrong w/ a basic grocery store unless you want to pay thousands in medical bills later on in life…
