There IS Such Thing as a Free Lunch!

I always hear the "eating healthy is too expensive" or "WAH I really don't care" speech.  Well if you're really concerned about price then I have two words for you: Whole Foods.  Don't get me wrong, Whole Foods is way overpriced and is working towards running a monopoly but as I was walking around the store, I noticed they have something most other health food stores don't have...SAMPLES.  Why do you think Whole Foods is so successful?  It's because they have an abundance of samples (well also because they have a nice facility compared to those small local health food stores that looks like it was opened by a jungle man and hippy's baby that welcomes homeless people who can only afford a loaf of rice bread - I really did see that at Vitamin Cottage by the way, er not the baby part, the homeless man buying rice bread).  So as I tasted every single sample in that Whole Foods I thought to myself: I AM FULL.  So these people who complain and complain just for the sake of complaining, do yourself a favor and GO TO WHOLE FOODS.  Eat all their samples!  Go Crazy, no one's watching!  Well, they are but there's no law saying you can only eat so many samples!  Plus, they're not gunna put out the nasty stuff (although I did have a Kombucha sample...but you had to ask for that and people are too lazy to ask so they're safe) because they want people to taste how good it is so they'll buy it.  And it's relatively healthy...ok not really but those Newman O's are way healthier than Oreo's that have animal fat in-between black colored corn syrup things.   So to prove my point, I took some ninja pictures that show some of the samples you can get (and I didn't take pictures of everything which proves the possibilities are limitless!).

Ok this glory line may not look like samples to you but I mean come on, self serve is screaming to taste before you buy.  

Mozart Cheese?

Ok this may not look like samples since you can't just reach in these and spoon up some gelato, but what you CAN do is stand there and ask the man, "Can I try the chocolate?  Mmm tasty, can I try the strawberry?  Hmm...Can I try the pistachio?  Until you've tasted them all.  Or unless there's a flavor you really liked you can say "I forgot what the amaretto tasted like..."  Then you pretend someone is calling you and skip off.

They even have free utensils =)

This is the most jungle Whole Foods I have ever seen...

Look at that nice dining area you can eat your all your FREE samples at!

On a side note, the employees at the Centennial, CO Whole Foods are all so friendly, I swear they're on something.  I mean, the meat man was having a diva-off with the other meat man as he skipped gayly around the butcher table, the bakery lady gave us a tour of their pastries, asked us if we needed help 5 times, and told us we can look as long as we don't drool on the case (which I just awkwardly stared down as my mom laughed super loud as she always does to make people feel better), the cheese lady asked us if we needed help when we were stealing all the cheese samples (everyone knows people gunning for the samples first don't really need anything), and the sushi people...well...they were a little more toned down but I think they just felt awkward as I glared at them for being dark haired white people making sushi for two Japanese people hmm...Ok so unfortunately these next pictures aren't samples (but i must say, having a whole pie as a sample is an excellent idea), however, I am surprised but the artistry Whole Foods has stepped up to.  

Hehe it does look like Ice Cream...

Until our next excursion!
