>> Whole foods has a lot of very niche specialty food. That is what they are probably scaling back on.

A lot of people go there because of those items. But hey, if they want to compete on price with Kroger more power to them.

And I did too, but I can already buy a lot of those foods elsewhere now. Even Walmart carries almond and coconut flour now, grassfed beef and butter, humane local eggs, generic brand almond milk, etc. Whole Foods does have a few more options, but I don't think I have very much reason to step into the organic food store/whole foods anymore. And it's lessening by the day as their competitors pick up those niche items more.

That was with my ex so I don't have to deal with it anymore, but when you have a limited budget and strict diet requirements in addition to medical bills we just looked for the cheapest place that sells what didn't kill him.

It’s why I go there. If they drop my SKUs I’ll drop them.
