Honestly, Whole Foods sold overpriced crap before they were acquired by Amazon and continued to sell overpriced crap afterwards. For comparison, a box of store-brand macaroni and cheese, obviously an American staple food eaten on a daily basis, costs twice as much at Whole Foods compared to a regular grocery store (Walmart, Kroger, &c.) and triple what it would cost at a cheap grocery store.

• Pound of chicken breast at Whole Foods: $6
• Pound of chicken breast at Walmart: $3
• Pound of chicken breast at WinCo: $2

and

• Frozen pizza at Whole Foods: $10
• Frozen pizza at Walmart: $4

It's like this for basically everything. If you'd normally spend $80 a week on grocery, you'd instead spend $150 at Whole Foods. But at least the food is organic, right??
