Lmao price is higher because everything is organic. The Spindrift sparkling water at Wegmans is $6.19, not $9.49 like Erewhon. It’s all just marketing and aesthetics
I was gonna say. Why not get organic stuff from Trader Joe’s or even Whole Foods? Both are cheaper. TJ’s much more so, but I know not everyone has one near them
The funniest thing about stores like this in America is that in most European countries, this is standard quality for a grocery store and the prices are as cheap as a regular grocery store.
The problem I have with stores like Erewhon is that they take products that are cheaper at other stores like the vital farms eggs and they increase the price by like 3 or 4 dollars just for the fuck of it. I can understand if they were like trader joes or Aldis and 95 percent of the stuff there is manufactured by them but that's price gouging.
You read my mind. I can see how alluring this place is based on the presentation but a lot of these things I’ve seen at sprouts or target. It just seems so exaggerated to shop here. And I’ve seen some people try to market this place as a high luxurious place when it just seems price gouged.
It's probably for celebrities and social media influencers to feel like they're spending on their level if it cost less they might think it's lower quality lol
Those are actually my fav eggs and I get them from Harris teeter for a little cheaper. It’s definitely the store name that is driving those prices.I wonder how much they are paying their employees? ain’t no way.
Great healthy food. cool people.. really cool customers.. p.s. you never know who you will see too.. but this was 7 years ago. I lost 70 lbs around that time too... great experience... shout out to carlose!! #erewhons
To be honest for the amount that they did pay for the area and living cost of that area it was enough. I ended up leaving and moving back to simi valley where I was born cause I could not afford to live alone. My fiance and I broke up while I was working there. So that's my answer.
@@richardfrederick5237 Wow, that’s unfortunate. For what they charge for groceries, they should take care of their employees well. Thanks for your reply.
Fortunately, at least in food/beverages, organic IS a legal certification that you can only get if your shit is actually organic. However, keep an eye out for claims like “natural” “naturally made” “clean label” because those are NOT regulated and you can say that about anything.
There is an ingredient called Natural flavor. I'm pretty sure that is what it is called. It comes from the but, or balls of beavers. It is in imitation vanilla, etc. I read that hunters would cut the balls, & leave the rest. That beavers figured out they were hunted for just that part. So they started chewing them off? Not sure how true.
@@vegas_or-bust you've said a lot of things that are close to right, here. "Natural flavor" describes any flavor derived from nature i.e. oils or extracts from fruit (even fully natural vanilla would still be a "natural flavor"). The ass gland of a beaver (technical term) is A source of vanillin, the chemical you're talking about, but it's much cheaper and easier to make vanillin in a lab, which would be an artificial flavor. What I sort of hoped you were bringing up when I saw someone replied talking about "Natural flavor" is shit where companies label their addition as "Natural flavor" but they're adding it as a preservative, not a flavoring. Rosemary extract, for example, is often added to ground meat in an amount that doesn't change the flavor but prevents it from oxidizing, but it's still "flavor" on the packaging
Anyone who grocery shops on a regular basis know when something is organic or not.. do your own experiment. Buy one organic apple and one nonorganic apple & let it sit on the counter
If you live in SC checkout 14 carrot for similar but small town vibes. They sell raw milk at affordable prices. I remember paying $20 a gallon for raw milk in California. In SC it’s around $7.
@@brookielookie • well thats not that good the mini wage in cal. is $15.50 •it cost more for a smoothie than pay their employees •and who do they pay $17 the cashiers, manger, greeter etc.
Oh, I have been to that store. Too many shoppers in one little space. Seems like all their branches are like that, been to the one in Venice too. Their employees always seem happy and cheerful , maybe they get paid a lot 😊
My local ordinary grocery store in Canada is pretty much the same prices! (I purchased a small container of organic miso for $10 and a tub of Greek yogurt was $8 (and it was on sale too! lol)
So interesting to see inside! Thank you for this 💕 That being said I don’t feel like it looks as premium as I expected given the prices. I would say that some of the specialty Marks & Spencers stores in the UK and some of the Woolworths stores in South Africa look more premium than this and have much better prices.
Tell me you're rich without telling me you're rich. There's no excuse for how much things cost, it's so overpriced that it's not even funny, it's obscene.
Yep! In America “organic” is a certified program & you can get in biiiiig legal trouble for using it improperly. Organic seedless fruit comes from selective breeding, which humans have been doing for all of agricultural history!
@@OSCARMlLDE seedless fruits are GMO. Just because there are regulations regarding what is organic doesn't mean that people follow those regulations. Especially since these industries kinda own the regulators.
Literally only rich people could actually keep places like this open. It’s nice looking, but so weird and gross to charge this much for groceries. Like, if you want to sell overly expensive food for the aesthetic, just open a restaurant, not a grocery store.
That would require actual effort and imagination. Like this they can just buy produce from local farmers and providers, and just mark it up by 300-400% simply because rich, pretentious folk fall for it. Profit.
Wow honestly your average grocery store down the street is trying to be on them vibes too. Smh inflation ain’t playing! And the thing is the rich people probably think it’s an inexpensive grocery store😭😂👏🏾
The funny thing is the meaning of organic is literally without the use of pesticides or relating or derived from living matter it can be as processed as they want and still put the label “organic” on there the only real difference it makes is that it spoils faster and is more expensive.
It would be nice to see store in person, but too expensive to buy from. In 1996 when we were in LA, we didn't know of this store. We were young and did more touristy stuff.

Erewhon is located the one of the most polluted cities in the world… I’d say the inflated prices are worth it ! Good organic food to heal all the damage.
I thought erewhon “was known” for their high prices; not the hot bar? Also those eggs sell for about the same anywhere else. What a privilege it must’ve been to buy a plane ticket just to “check it out” ❤
A lot of those same brands, including those vital farms eggs, are at Whole Foods and regular grocery stores for cheaper. You’re just paying for their name, which is dumb.
No, to ensure you’re eating healthy, quality minimally processed foods. These stores do a lot of the hard work for you and vets products and avoids stocking items with harmful chemicals, extra sugar etc so people who can afford it can shop there. I am not rich but I shop at Natural Grocers which is a pricey health chain too. I prefer to eat healthy than buy extra clothes and shoes and cosmetics.
@Elle SF for sure but it's so expensive. we have farmers markets here in PA and I try my best to source locally for my family I could never pay these prices
