These shoppers aren’t convinced Whole Foods will stop being ‘Whole Paycheck’
I didn't know what "whole paycheck" meant, so I had to look it up.
No matter how low Amazon lowers prices, it still won't be low enough to get my business. I do my grocery shopping mostly based on price.

Despite the new discounts, Whole Foods has more work to do before it shakes the moniker “Whole Paycheck,” a title jokingly bestowed upon the store due to its reputation as being too expensive for many people. On Monday, the store lowered the price of avocados from $2.50 each to $1.50 each. Gala apples had decreased from $3 a pound to $2 a pound. The non-GMO organic almond milk from Whole Foods’ own “365” brand had been lowered from $3.69 per carton to $2.99.
Tor Gunnarson, a 65-year-old shopping at the 14th street Whole Foods in Manhattan said he prefers to shop at Whole Foods regardless of prices, but was skeptical the cheaper costs would stick around (a spokeswoman for Whole Foods said the price changes introduced today are permanent).
“It’s not going to stick, right, it’s just a one-day thing?” he asked. “I prefer Whole Foods because it’s a more pleasant shopping experience. I don’t think prices are as bad as they say with the ‘whole paycheck’ talk. I find often times reasonably good prices and a great selection of quality items.”
