WF will remain an occasional 'option'. YOBS too for that matter.
In response to the lack of produce at so many standard "canned and frozen" heaven Detroit grocery stores... I got into this about 15 years ago from the Caldean, Pakistan, Asian, Indian etc. shops in Detroit, Oak Park and Hammy. I discovered more from working in E. Dearborn where you can easily get two large bags of produce at like say Greenland for under $12 any day -- even more on their super sale days.
I juice and extract [[which requires a great deal of volume not just an apple or two) and unless your income is quite hail you might get your stuff at the at markets such as these or eastern market etc -- If you do non-organic. HF will remain a place for specialty things or their buffet items for when I want some dinner/ lunch to go and avoiding burger king...
In a nutshell over a span of time we sorta shop all over [[burb and city) including, Trader Joes, Hollday Market, SAMS even Gordon Food Service for some of their less chemical offerings. LOL! For sure I hit Aldies and Save-a-lot for certain things.
Honey Bee will be checked out very, very soon. I think I have been to La Colmena down on Vernor further south right? They are not the same store are they?
