I get most of my produce in bulk from co-ops. The rest, Trader Joe which is cheaper than Whole Foods and in most cases, the same price or lower than a regular grocery store. But co-op is the cheapest way for mass quantity, and if your city has a farmers market, many of their vendors will let you buy in bulk.

Whole Foods is good for their bulk section of grains and pastas. Over-priced for produce. Fine for certain condiments not found elsewhere and there house brand is decently priced.

With planning, eating healthy can definitely be done on a budget.

*dont get me started on healthy on a budget in nyc. That takes strategizing and time.

Here in LA, I love me some Co-op in Santa Monica.
