Comments on: Shopping at Whole Foods on a Vegan Backpacker Budget http://veganbackpacker.com/blog/whole-foods-vegan-new-york/ Vegan Travel Around The World Mon, 08 Apr 2013 01:57:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Rebekah http://veganbackpacker.com/blog/whole-foods-vegan-new-york/#comment-4574 Rebekah Sat, 27 Oct 2012 12:45:29 +0000 http://veganbackpacker.com/?p=1147#comment-4574 I love the Whole Foods buffet. My favorite is the tofu. They make excellent fried tofu!! My Whole Foods also has some vegan cookies, but no vegan cakes. Probably the best deals in the store can be found in the bulk section. Stocking up on muesli and grains and beans is cheap when you buy them en masse! I love the Whole Foods buffet. My favorite is the tofu. They make excellent fried tofu!!

It's been helpful when I need to buy things that you just can't get anywhere else. It's not wise to do all your grocery shopping there (unless you are independently wealthy) but for small things and extras, it can't be beat.

Look for them at your Whole Foods - I love the Brownie Bite-lettes. Whole Foods in the Boston area has awesome vegan cookies called Dr. Laura’s Wholesome Junk Food.

It might sound weird, but now I would just like to go grocery-shopping! I've never been to Whole Foods before, but if I ever come by one of their branches, I'll make it a priority to shop there. There seems to be so many products you cannot find where I live. And Cliff Bar for just 1 dollar! That is such a bargain. Great post!

We also bought things to make sandwiches with (Tofurky, sprouts) and kept them in a cooler which we filled with ice from the hotel ice machine to keep them cold (there was no fridge in the room). We ate well nomad style! While Whole Foods can be pricey, it's great for vegans in a strange place.

The Whole Foods in the D.C. Metro area doesn't carry vegan cakes, just a few vegan muffins and one type of vegan scone. Really cool post! The Whole Foods in the D.C.

You can shop Whole Foods on a budget. I do. The 365 brand is very reasonable. When I compare exact items at WF and at traditional groceries WF is usually cheaper! I agree.

I've said this on my blog, too. You CAN find budget-worthy food at Whole Foods if you shop carefully. Their 365 brand foods (eg. pasta, canned beans) are high quality and well-priced, and they always have specials going on produce. And you've just shown us that even prepared foods can be budget-friendly. (BTW, the vegan brownies are REALLY good.) Nice post! I’ve said this on my blog, too.
