The ultimate supermarket throwdown: Whole Foods vs Trader Joe’s. Do you prefer authentic and healthy food, or would you rather pay less for less?Whole Foods vs Trader Joe’sEveryone knows that Whole Foods is the premier supermarket for great food. Their brand is that they got all the great eats with no added nonsense. If you value staying alive, putting high quality things in your body is a safe play. The problem is that shopping at Whole Foods will destroy your wallet like a Taco Bell patron at a rest stop bathroom.Trader Joe’s has many high-quality items, but it’s more about the idea than the reality. TJ’s creates an experience that feels like everything they sell is safe from chemicals, GMOs, or other trending terribleness. This is far from the truth. If you like to eat shrimp from slave-labor boats, then Trader Joe’s provides the access with a farmer’s market shopping experience.Why Does This Even Matter?Honestly it doesn’t. Forget the battle of Whole Foods vs Trader Joe’s, because honestly everyone is just going to shop at the closest supermarket anyway. If you need to decide between the two, decide what you fear more: chemicals or debt collectors.WARNING: If you bring a dog to Trader Joe’s they will salivate. Not because the establishment is so appetizing, but because TJ’s is like a country-side schoolhouse with all their bell ringing.Kombucha!I personally can’t stand the stuff, but there are a lot of people out there that slurp this junk up. They can’t get enough of it. Whole Foods does provide a solid selection of choices. Their stock is rivaled only by specialty corner grocers that will go out of business for wasting self space on 29 different kombuchas.If you hate kombucha then definitely don’t shop at Whole Foods. If I had to pick a mascot that embodied the mantra of Whole Foods, it would absolutely be a kombucha home-brew kit. Trader Joe’s doesn’t give kombucha the attention Whole Foods feels the beverage deserves. And it’s no surprise. TJ’s ain’t really all about that health life, yo.Stay InformedLegit don’t take my advice. I have no expertise. I’m not qualified to talk on the subject of Whole Foods vs Trader Joe’s. I’m a pundit who admits he knows nothing, which might actually make me the most qualified. But I digress.

It’s very entertaining, so you should listen to the podcast. I will take some time to spoil part of the list:ICandy Sucks!It’s been years since I went there, but luckily I don’t need that memory to know they’re awful. The owner was caught using the N-word. And this isn’t hearsay. He legit was filmed using a racial slur. Now ICandy’s no Timberland policy makes more sense. This establishment is riddled with hate, so it was an easy pick to be at the bottom of the list.As for the rest of the list I think we decided that U-bar was number one? You’ll just have to listen to find out! To be honest this was probably just an excuse to talk smack on ICandy, which is legit.The ComediansHere’s my sad attempt of photoshopping together an image of us. This is what happens when you have too much fun and forget to take pictures.
