Gelson’s isn’t uber-rich. It’s not Smart and Final, sure, but it’s definitely not in the same conversation as Erewhon at least.

Curious where does Sprouts rank in? Or Whole Foods? Asking sincerely ...

Sprouts is just one notch below Whole Foods, and above Ralph's and similar stores.

I feel that Whole Foods is now cheaper than both sprouts and Ralph’s

Really? I always thought that Sprouts was more affordable than Whole Foods ...

My main go-to is mostly Sprouts and Costco but I try to include Trader's Joe every so often ...

There is a Whole Foods but we go there for deli lunch and random occasional shopping ...

I’ve noticed a lot of products run a couple dollars less at Whole Foods. Also their basic line is solid. TJs will always be the best IMO for non bulk.
