10 secrets for the right shopping at Whole Foods
It is believed that shopping at the Whole Foods supermarket chain is hitting the wallet too much. But former network employees shared some interesting shopping secrets at the eco-supermarket that you might not have known. Edition "ZagraNitsa»Told how to buy the best products, and also save a lot.
First try - then buy!
You can try any products before purchasing. Up to chips, fruit and cheese in sealed packages. Ask the manager to cut a piece of apple for you or open a pack of cookies. Because the company has a “try before you buy” policy.
You can return any item
Return policy. You can return any products. And they will either give you money, or issue a loan for this amount. And do not even need a check. “It's good if you have a check, but not necessarily,” they say in Whole Foods. You can even return some of the local cosmetics, but you will need a receipt.
Wednesday - shopping day
The best day for shopping is Wednesday. On Thursday, they usually deliver new products, so on Wednesday the number of promotional items doubles. These days you can also use coupon codes in your mobile application.
Let the butcher do all the work for you.
The butcher can remove bones from any piece of meat or fish that you choose. No additional expenses are required. If you ask, he will even steam it up and add seasonings. And not just salt and pepper, but different mixes of herbs and spices of your choice.
Whole Foods Employee Motivation
The network employees have big discounts on goods. At the start, they are given 20%, with the ability to increase interest. If an employee participates in a health control program (regular examinations, biometrics, blood pressure, normal overweight index), then the discounts increase. Thus, management motivates its employees to be healthy and well-groomed. After all, this ultimately affects the number of buyers.
Products #1 Whole Foods
One of the safest products in Whole Foods - salmon. It does not contain antibiotics, growth hormones, pesticides and other impurities. In addition, there is the largest selection of a wide variety of cheeses (smoked Gouda cheese deserves special attention), milk (almond, soybean, etc.) and nuts (macadamia, chestnuts, pine and others).
What to do with the remnants?
Each branch Whole Foods gives the remnants of products to local charities. Sometimes, for some reason, the remaining products from the vegetable department (still fresh and tasty) are processed, sliced and sent to salad bars or sandwich bars.
Check without departing from the cash register
After shopping check the check without departing from the cash register. If something was missed by the cashier or punched at a price higher than the price tag on the shelf - in most cases you will be given this product for free.
What to look for in a salad bar
If you decide to collect a container in the salad bar, it is better not to lean on vegetables. The real treasures here are bacon, shrimp, salmon. Because at the price of $ 8.99 per pound, you can hardly find them anywhere else. Yes, and fried bacon is very easy! But vegetables (especially tomatoes!) Weigh much more, and you can buy them cheaper in another department.
Products in bulk
It seems that the department with cereals and spices by weight is the most boring department in the entire store. But it is better to spend some time on weighing and save a serious amount on this. For example, in a jar spices are sold for $ 5-6. But by weight they can be purchased at half the price. And the biggest plus is that you gain as much as you need. And do not overpay for unnecessary surplus.
