Buying THE SAME Groceries at the 99 Cent Store vs. Whole Foods!? (cost comparison)

What’s the cost difference of getting the SAME groceries at the 99 Cent Store as Whole Foods? I was SHOCKED! It’s a shame that Whole Foods up-charges 3-6x more for the EXACT same food items. Join me as I take on this “challenge” to find out the different prices between the two stores, as well as highlight all of the amazing plant-based and organic options that the 99 Cent Store offers.

Someone else mentioned, this does not incorporate how much Whole Foods pays their workers vs. how much the 99 cents store does. The 99 cents store probably pays low wages and *part* (not all) is the reason for the lower prices. That said, still love this video!

Loved this video. Such a great way to think about the varying cost of groceries and that healthy doesn't always have to be expensive.

Why am I just seeing this video. 😭 I visited the 99cent store this weekend and my mind was blown at the organic and plant based options they provided. From Jackfruit to whole grain rice! Love it. I spent $100 and I know That would’ve been 150-160 at my local organic store! We need a 2024 99cents store comparison

My question is how much does whole foods pay its workers vs the dollar store? Is the cheaper store paying their employees a living wage? Do they have healthcare? The price of items you see on the shelves is not just for the item

I'm so happy I came across your channel ❤

What blew my mind the other day is that I heard this organic farmer on the radio complaining that supermarkets sell their organic products for double the price of conventional, whereas overall, their way of farming is about 10-20% more expensive than conventional farming.

Hey! So all of the amounts at these different discount stores can be smaller in size. I just started watching the video but do watch out for the weight/amount prices. Sometimes you can get more for a better price at the non-discount stores.

Super eye-opening video! Love this type of content

WOW! You guys are lucky - a .99 store!!!! I am in Southern IN and we have a dollar store (that is now 1.25) and it is junk - all junk - I just went there and only found dried fruit and some detox tea. Everything else was processed heavily, no produce, no full size products (I would have purchased, but it was literally 1/4 of the size). Love this video - hope more see it!!

Love how you explain things. Keep up with sharing your thoughts on YouTube because I can see your channel explode for the better.

I’m curious, did you compare the price of the sized item that each store offered, or did you scale prices based on any size differences?
I’ve noticed that at 99c type stores the items may be cheaper and the same brand, but are much smaller. I’ve always wondered if the cheaper/smaller option was comparable to an average sized item or even a bulk item. Just a thought.

Loved this so much and that’s a great idea! Shop at the 99 first THEN supplement at your “regular” grocery store! 🤯

Where Whole Foods shines for me is the high quality cat foods, the hard kombuchas, the specialty energy drinks, the frozen vegetables and the canned foods. Sometimes I get their produce on sale. They have deeeelicous heirloom tomatoes.

I love this breakdown! Really eye-opening

Ohh would love to see a video comparing produce between Trader Joe’s, WF, and 99 cent store!

I need a 99c store in Florida so bad 😭

[leilani]

I usually look at the sale ads for my more traditional grocery store and then I get some of the other stuff at the 99 cent store. I can always find my kids lunchables there for 2 for 99 cents as other stores sell them for 1.99
