Whole Foods

Alabama finally got a Whole Foods! Chris & I couldn’t be more thrilled. After driving by on Saturday and seeing the line of cars out of the parking lot and down 280, we decided to go early on Sunday. Well, I guess we didn’t go early enough. It probably took us 15 min. or so to get a parking space (luckily there were parking attendants helping) and the store was so busy we quickly abandoned our cart and weaved in and out of the crowds. Because it was so busy we didn’t do any serious shopping, just picked up some basics, a few bakery items and some brisket & sausage from the smoked meats station (Side note- it’s a pretty sad commentary on the state of barbeque in Alabama when the only place to get brisket & sausage is at Whole Foods!). The barbeque was pretty decent, cookies from the bakery were ok. And the prices weren’t as bad as I expected. Hopefully the crowds will die down soon so we can do some serious shopping!
