Did you know that Whole Foods Market in Kahala offers free tours? We took a tour today focusing on value. Titled their "Value Tour" Whole Foods Market showed us how to shop with an eye on our wallet. Our guide was very knowledgeable and showed us how we can save money while eating organic foods.

Whole Foods Market is a strong supporter of local business. There are many local products being sold and they let you know about it. All local products display "LOCAL" on their price tags.

Your are informed how to recognize their Every Day Low Price (EDLP) and their Sale items. As we toured the store we noticed a lot of these types of signs. Our guide said that a good way to shop is to know beforehand what you need to get and to focus on only those items. I agree that without a list in hand my hand grabs almost everything and not what I was intending on purchasing.

We sampled some trail mix and cookies. The tour ended and we hung out and shopped. Did we follow what we were taught? No way! I just love their raspberry yogurt pretzels. Oh, and we also picked up some frozen mahimahi (also not on sale).

Oh well, we'll try it next time we visit Whole Foods Market. I suggest you visit them on the web and sign up for one of their tours. They also have a "Foods for Active Bodies Tour" and "Raw Foods with Chef Sharynne". Both free but you need to call and sign up.

Thanks Whole Foods Market!

Oh, something to remember. They will grill your fresh fish purchased there for free. Good to know if you want to eat fresh fish without the hassles of cooking fish on your own.
