    When my mother had cancer, she chose hospice care instead of treatment. She wanted to live in the moment and splash out for the first time in her life, and that included shopping at Whole Foods for practically all her groceries (and lots and lots of wine). She ended up living v comfortably and carefree for almost two years 😊

      Totally understand your mums thinking, enjoying the time she had how she wanted. I was my mums carer b4 she passed and cooked all her meals. She often said to me at dinner time, she wanted her dessert first. I said mum you can eat what you want in whatever order you want, its your choice. My mum was 81 when she passed and i was just happy that she enjoyed what i prepared, so i didnt care what she wanted to eat first.

      It’s interesting how like me Hannah can shop cleverly in low budget stores like Aldi. But hey every now and again we feel decadent in our spending. And suddenly splurge every now and again. Note she examined the Hand made chocolates 🍫, sometimes we have a drive out to Orton , twixt Tebay & Kirkby Steven to visit Kennedy’s Hand made chocolate shop and Cafe Restaurant . Our grandsons used to take a lolly stick because we bought them a fresh fruit puréed chocolate lined ice cream milk shake to take away. Last week fed up of economising , I had a splurge and bought the biggest box of their Home made chocolates. But what the heck . And of course our milk shake . The daughter always orders a box of Kennedy’s hand made chocolates on Fathers Day. Kennedy’s also have a shop nearby in The Lake District . But it’s the milk shakes we need to indulge in too.

    Whole Foods is considered expensive in the U.S. too. But I agree that food is generally a bit cheaper in the UK. However buying a home, heating a home, buying Gasoline, and buying electronic items like an iPhone, a PS5, or even a TV is generally quite a bit more expensive in the UK compared to the U.S. 🙂

    People not living in the UK need to keep in mind the exchange rate to their own currency so what may seem "cheap" isn't. I think the last time I looked (quite a while ago) to convert Canadian $ to UK $ you doubled the amount. So, 6 pounds for 2 cupcakes is $12 CDN, that full octopus would be about $120 CDN and that 547 pound wine would be over $1000. Just some perspective.
    Still looks yummy and tempting though LOL>

    American supermarket food prices are nuts. It was $4 for a load of bread in Colorado. I went to Safeway to get what would be my usual picnic sandwich items. At the time those items would set me back tenner in the UK. I'd got about ¾ of what I wanted and did a quick tally. The cost was up to $35.

      That's wild, it would be far cheaper here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Colorado is a remote state with very few people living there, perhaps that is why. More people live in the San Francisco Bay Area than in the entire state of Colorado! 😲 At the local grocery store in my corner of Silicon Valley, a sandwich, chips and a drink is $12 or so, which is about 10 pounds sterling. 🙂

I watch your vlogs prior to having my team's weekly closeout meeting. The participants either join me in the conference room or on an MS Team's session. Post-meeting we go to a bar/pub or restaurant. All 15 people now watch your vlog as I play it pre-meeting. We have now added a bit of a who buys the first round based on the number of times Hannah uses the following phrases - "Oh My Gosh", "Are You Joking", and "Beige Bits". Whoever is furthest from the actual number of uses of the phrase they pick buys the first round. I usually go for "Oh My Gosh" because I love the way you say it. So next vlog - please sneak in 4 uses of the Oh My Gosh!! 🙂Thanks for the time and effort!

    I always enjoy grocery store videos, but I enjoyed this one even more. The drama of those excessive prices was a joy to experience! We don't have Whole Foods here. I wish we did! Not that I could afford to be a regular, but I would drop in now and then to pick up a little something. Brilliant video and thank you for posting it!

      "es there is a Richmond in England too."
      lmao I looked it up and it seems Kent and Richmond are basically suburbs of London.
      lol. We have a New London in the USA, it is across the Thames River from Groton in Connecticut. (one of the 13 original states.)
      I went to Basic Enlisted Submarine School and Sonar "A" School at Groton Submarine Base. It's technically "New London Submarine Base" but if you ask people in the area, they will be confused, because New London is across the river, and is where the Puddle Pirates (the Coast Guard lmao) have their academy.
      The submarine base is known colloquially as Groton...."the submarine capital of the world." lol 🙂
      I'm surprised Kent in the State of Washington is not called "New Kent" and Richmond here in the Bay Area is not called "New Richmond".
      But I believe there is also a Richmond in the State of Virginia. 🙂

I'd bet their coffee is delicious. Impressive coverage Hannah! I have a Whole Foods in my area, though it's not quite as expansive as this store. Among all the rest, Whole Foods is known for premium produce. I used to go there regularly and top off my visit with a double shot of wheat grass juice. An acquired taste to be sure! LOL! I think I'll make a point of popping in again soon. Please, do take good care, Hannah love. See you next week!😉

    What you have to point out is that Whole Foods is an organic market - hence the prices. When you put it into that perspective, it’s still pricey but compare the range of choice to organic goods in other supermarket chains.

    Hi Hannah, another great food vlog. I have to say I was not shocked at the cost. Here in Australia food is expensive and the cost.of living is high. I paid $5 yesterday for a standard loaf of mixed grain bread and another fiver for a standard bar of Cadbury peppermint chocolate not on special, sooo if you are talking about pocket pinch just do your weekly shop here then you will feel the pain. All as I can say is thank God for Aldi. A loaf of mixed grain bread there yesterday $2.98 but they had no stock. Cheers from Melbourne 😊❤👩‍💼

    I live about an hour from the nearest Whole Foods in Kansas City (middle of the US) and the prices are similar to this one, but this London store is probably 3-4 times the size. It’s clearly aimed at the wealthy folks living in that part of London, as well as international residents and American tourists (we always stayed in S. Kensington area to be near the V&A). While traveling, we like to shop in local grocery stores and buying bits from Aldi, Tesco or Waitrose was cheaper and healthier than eating in a restaurant. Like you, we could never afford to do all of our shopping at Whole Foods!

    Ole & Steen are the Danish version of Starbucks, but they started as a bakery, so pastries and cake are their forte, rather than the coffee. Not that Starbucks coffee is any good, really. They are everywhere here in Denmark, but they are called Lagkagehuset. The first one ever opened in the very posh neighbourhood of Christianshavn in Copenhagen, in a building that gave it its Danish name, because it looked like a layer cake. I used to live a couple blocks away, that's how I know so much about it😅😂

    Enoki musrhooms are used as a vegetable in east asian cooking, although they are not used in most dishes. Just place them in a soup for a couple of minutes and that's it. They're very strawy and fibrous so you need to eat them as a small bunch at one go.

    Oh, Hannah, the chocolates you picked up from Valrhona are generally for baking, they're meant to be melted and tuned into chocolate mousse, ganache, and white chocolate in particular is a little bland because you usually pair it with flavors like matcha or raspberry, and it elevates that.

Never Been to Whole Foods and just by watching your video I could easily fill a trolly in there costing £500 without passing the wine section at £550 a bottle. The food looks high end quality.

    I feel like for you and me buying cheese that came pre cubed would be kind of lazy, but it just really help elderly people, people with disabilities and busy parents and stuff. If they can't hold the knife safely or don't have the grip strength anymore, they could still eat it. Or if you have kids and it's busy, that helps with getting real food into your kids or having little kids serve themselves without having to micromanage everything they do around the kitchen.
