I have a general rule of thumb which says "if it's advertised on TV, it's probably unhealthy." Not only that but way overpriced. Sometimes I'll go into someone's apartment and look in the kitchen cupboards and EVERYTHING is a big name TV brand. I was looking at someone's box of Kellogs cereal the other day and the price was almost $8. I can get the Whole Foods version of that cereal for half the price, organic mind you, and the ingredients are so much more healthy.

Ditto. In fact, I mostly buy stuff that's not packaged, processed and transformed. 
 
I hate buying meat from WF though.
 
They screwed us for the last time a few days ago - we bought what we thought would be a delicious roast beef, because we wanted to cook a nice dinner for my mother-in-law who was in town. Plus, I hadn't eaten a roast beef in years. Cost us $27 for that piece of meat. 
 
I managed to chew off ONE tiny chunk. And I earned that tiny little bit, trust me. Dinner was a fiasco.
 
We ended up throwing away the whole thing - though I really felt like driving to WF and literally throwing it at them, sauce and all. 
 
This was their second and last screw up on meat.
 
Almost $30. Man, I can get an EZ Drummer expansion or a Waves plug-in for that price! :P
 

WF can be very hit and miss. It's definitely the best supermarket by far, but not without its problems. I'm a big fan of microgreens but I've had to return 4 or 5 boxes that were rancid when opened. And my girlfriend has taken her fair share of yogurt back because it was out of date. A few years ago I was buying these "Greens+" protein bars and noticed one day that a bunch of them were a couple of months out of date. So I took them off the shelf and gave them to the customer service desk. The girl thanked me and said they would get rid of them. Later that day I went back and found that they'd just put them straight back on the shelf.
