Trader Joe's and Whole Foods?!
I live on Maui and there are no Trader Joe or Whole Food stores here!. I often see when people are looking for hard to find products, the answer is "Go to Whole Foods"!. Well, the other day I heard that a Whole Foods store was coming to the islands!.!.!.how is it different from any other grocery store (ie!. Costco, Safeway or Foodland)!? Mahalo!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The 1st response has it right!. It's basically somewhere that carries "natural" and "organic" food!. Overall they carry stuff that is more health conscious products!. i!.e!. they don't carry like Kelloggs or Post cereal in their cereal section, but only organic/natural brands!.
I also find that this type of store is more likely to carry products (anything from vegetables, dairy products, sorbet, anything) that are harder to find in a mainstream supermarket!.
All of this comes at a cost though, as most of the products are significantly more expensive than items at a standard grocery store!.
I've never been to a Trader Joe's before, but from what I've heard it's like a better version of Whole Foods!. In my opinion Whole Foods is plenty good enough!.

I'm not exactly sure what a Trader Joe or Whole Foods market is!. But I work for a natural food store (which I am assuming is what these are)!. The majority of our products are organic or natural - and I know in our case that we try to buy local whenever possible!. The regular markets may have a natural / organic section, but the store isn't dedicated to natural and healthly living!. At least that is my take on the question!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Whole Foods is an amazing store!. Its packed full of fntastic natural produce which, in my experience, is all good quality!. I was excited when Whole Foods opened in London, but disappointed as their prices are outrageous compared the the prices in the US storesWww@FoodAQ@Com
