      to have the best product every organic item should be grown indoor under uv filters water air the water never comes in contact with plastic nor do plants from seed to plant for no contamination from the ozon

I get some of the other items you showed from Costco too. Thank you for the fun detour from the Costco videos hahaha. Makes me feel even better abou shopping at Costco every week. I, like, have one of those things called a refrigerator so it's not really a problem to buy a Costco size of a few things.

    Erewhon really leaning into marketing over quality or price 💲.
    The place and products look really pretty and it has collabs with celebrities.
    Not things most people want their grocery store to be spending their money on, but it manages to focus on its niche of exploiting the shallowness of people who only care about appearances.

    two things - one, the kale chips that are the actual erewhon brand are SIGNIFICANTLY better! I would recommend the half and half to anyone looking to get them. second, those glass bottles that you can "bring back" you have to pay a FEE when you purchase them, so it is less plastic ect. but it costs even more than the price listed with the fee.

  • @slxochae8317
    @slxochae8317 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The items are marked up to pay for the expense of running an organic grocery store in a posh location. Whole Foods, Sprouts, and TJs have the capital to open in prime locations. Local grocery stores do not, so they brand themselves as upscale and markup products for 2x the normal costs.

    Most of this stuff, you can even find at Grocery Outlet or even a liquor store in California if you get lucky. This place is for rich people who can afford other people's labor, but are too lazy to cook for themselves. All of those pre-packaged foods just says it all. It's way cheaper to buy separate ingredients and cook then it is to buy something than it is already made that has the Erewhon logo on it.

    If it's from local producers, shouldn't it be 10× cheaper than to import it. I feel shops use this local produced thing to ramp prices up, thinking the customer is stupid. There's no logistics, so it should, in fact, be cheaper. These prices are horrendous. There's no practical thinking of what prices should be.
