Is Whole Foods London Really Worth it? Is it now 'cheap'?

- Time to pop along to Whole Foods at High Street Kensington to see what nice Spring foods they have in stock. Also surprisingly saw some items here that were cheaper than some of the major supermarketers in the UK. What is going on? Whole Foods cheaper than Sainsbury's?!

Those prices are regular prices here in the US at a regular grocery store. Whole Foods is far more expensive here!
I'm American but live in the UK. Prices back home have simply just gone way out of control. A decade ago there was very little between the US and UK in terms of grocery prices. I recently went over to see family/friends in California and I was stunned at just how stupid the price of everything has got!
@@LILLYB8328 not in Ohio! Still reasonable to grocery shop.😊
@@tammimarie That's good to know. I'm from Santa Barbara so figures things will be far more expensive here. But still, I was back over during the holidays and I was stunned when I saw it was like almost 6 bucks for a dozen eggs in the store local to my Mom's!
Things have gotten more expensive all over the US
I live in Florida and shop at Publix. It’s like highway robbery! Prices are insane. Can’t wait to get to London in a few weeks and shop for less expensive groceries at the Whole Foods!
I'm from NZ but I lived in London for a year when I was 20. I love watching your videos and reminiscing on all the shopping. I used to spend my days off just looking around shops like you do and not buying anything because I had no money. There is just so much variety and the department stores are wonderful 😍
You had me howling with laughter in the Cheese Department 😂! Thanks for the always entertaining walk throughs Hannah.
I am going to have to incorporate "lazy cheese" into something this weekend. Have a Whole Foods near my office and the London one puts this one to shame.
Can you imagine your fridge with some of those cheeses, sure they probably delicious but the smell 😂
It's the thought of all those cheese mites that puts me off 🤢
Thanks for watching!
Hannah, I totally understand why you purchase prepared food for yourself. Cooking for one is not a joy all the time, your probably saving money on groceries as buying all the ingredients would be more expensive and wasteful. I was really impressed by the quality/flavour of the prepared foods in the supermarkets in the UK. 🇨🇦❤️
Love your channel Hannah. I’ve been raving about your Afternoon Tea videos so much that my daughter-in-law is taking me and her mom to Tea for Mother’s Day! I’m so excited! 🇺🇸
Have a lovely time!!
Agreed! This channel is what made me want to take my wife to afternoon tea when we visited two weeks ago. Fortnum & Mason was so nice!
Im in Melbourne Australia and have started obsessing over your High teas. Did a canvas this weekend of all my friends and family to book up a whole series leading up to Christmas.
44 minutes after posting, and 1.8k views already. And up to 109k subscribers too, now, I see Hannah. Great to see your success with this lovely channel of yours! Long may it continue. 🥰
Thank you so much!
@@HannahRicketts You're so welcome, your vlogs are a perfect way to end the working week. (Says he, retired these many years!) Your bright, chatty demeanour is a delight. And I see you've gathered another thousand subscribers over the weekend, too. You deserve your success, Hannah.It's wonderful to see.
Nothing wrong with lazy food! However, Whole Foods is crazy expensive. Thanks for the tour Hannah! ☺
I hate the term '' lazy '' because it was invented to be ableist and classist from evil people
bloody hell, the prices oh my God how can any average common person afford that? thanks Hannah for the amazing recording.
Since the Amazon takeover there are a lot of affordable items in Wholefoods in the US at least. Especially when combined with your Amazon Prime rewards. Cheers for the video!
I love to cook, but many people don't and I don't think we should judge those who don't. People should just stay in their own lane. You do you. I found your video extremely interesting. Despite visiting the UK more than a few times, I didn't spend time in the stores you take us to, so I totally enjoy it. Thank you for taking us, it's much appreciated!
I love cooking and baking as well. However when I cook I tend to make to much and since I live alone I end up giving a lot to my friends, LOL. I also make my own pasta.
Thanks so much!
I'm a chef and I enjoy cooking at work but not at home. I find it boring to cook for myself so I never cook at home
Hannah, Grenache is a very good Rose' Wine.
I'm excited about the Coronation. I maybe the only one here in your comments, I just can't wait to witness and live through our historical event! Even my young grandchildren are excited about the Coronation.
Hey Hannah! You should make some videos for us tourists! Like if you were to spend just four days in London what would you do?
Who cares if you buy ready made food Hannah! It’s convenient and no judgement here!!! I would do it every day if I could… I am done cooking at my age 😊Thank you for another great video ❤
It's a different world in That London than most places in the UK
Awesome video Hannah 👌🏻
Another great vlog Hannah. I live by myself and it’s cheaper to buy pre packed foods than cook. The price of living in Australia is through the roof! Also love the streets of London very pretty!😍😍😍
I enjoyed looking at the Wholefood Shop. I can never get over the amazing choice of different foods that are available in England and the flowers are stunning. I wouldn't feel guilty about buying ready-made meals because I hate cooking.
I love all your videos, especially all the big London shops, so thank you for taking the time to show us x
"Bit off of green juices and things, feel like they're a bit of a con." Love it!!! Great video!
😂 I wish Wholefoods wasn't that expensive anymore. A loaf of sourdough bread was about £7 the other day when I went in. Jacuzzi is pretty nice. The interior design is a tad OTT but the truffle pizza was big and tasty. Ooooh I'm looking forward to your Bicester Village vlog already. West Elm have some nice bedding at the moment. I love Povvo guy. Povvo power!!! 🤣 Thanks for the heads up about the truffle crisps. I was going to try them but now I won't bother if they are too oily. I love the way you film the scenery on your route home. That is so good.
Yes, looking forward to your Bicester walk round Hannah 🤓👜👜👜
Yes me too on Bicester
Thank you, Hannah 😊 a pleasure as always!!! Another amazing video!!
Canadians call it ‘Whole Paycheque’, too. Personally, I prefer Trader Joe’s, but we Canucks have to sneak over the border for that 😂. Another great video, Hannah xox
Great fun window shopping the food; thanks!
Love Hannah vlogs! Keep up the fantastic content!!❤
ThanksHannah, really enjoyed this one. Xxx
Thanks Hannah. I don’t get into London as much now so nice to see what’s around.
Such a fun shopping 🛍️ Vlog 🫶🏻. Thanks for taking us along on your travels 🚲
Thank you so much Hannah for this lovely video. You really captured the essence of Wholefoods. ❤
Hi Hannah. Thank you for another wonderful Vlog. Cheers. x
Food looks amazing As always thanks Hannah Enjoy your weekend….
Awesome again and thanks for sharing your wonderful shopping experience.
I love it when you show us the food and merch. Thank you!💗 I feel as if I'm there with you.
I just went this morning to Whole Foods here in Atlanta, Georgia. You definitely have more of a selection at the London store! Enjoy the videos!
Another great video. Thank you. Really enjoyed.
Zinfandel is my favourite Rose. ❤ 😊 Enjoy your weekend!
For me, having been back and forth to Europe for decades and living there for some months out of a year since the early/mid 1970s, I don't find Whole Foods that expensive compared to a lot of Northern European/Scandinavian regular grocery store prices.
The Whole Foods flagship store is in Austin, Texas. I went to it around 9 years ago while in Texas for some days visiting folks. We've had Whole Foods here in Los Angeles for many years as Whole Foods bought out our Mrs. Gooch's healthy-food supermarket chain here in Los Angeles. Mrs. Gooch opened up back in the 70s and was the pioneer of this healthy-food supermarket concept. We had plenty of small health-food stores, but she had a supermarket.
There were Whole Foods execs who came out here to visit Mrs. Gooch's supermarkets back in the day. As far as I know, she's still going strong (Sandy Gooch).
Then, in 1993, Whole Foods bought out Mrs. Gooch's and in 2017, Amazon bought out Whole Foods. I still miss Mrs. Gooch's. And Mrs. Gooch used to walk through her supermarkets and chat with customers from time to time.
I was just at Whole Foods today as I ran in to get a sandwich and a couple other items since I was out running errands. I shop regularly at both Whole Foods and other similar stores here. And as far as items that I buy at Whole Foods, I have priced some of the same items that I buy at Whole Foods and other similar stores with those at regular supermarkets like Ralphs and there have been more than a few of the same items that have been more expensive at Ralphs. I just price checked again last month.
Looking at your filming of the pre-cut fruit in containers and the prices, Yikes! Today I bought one of those small containers of honeydew melon; .46 of a pound and it was U.S.$3.22 total and only because it was pre-cut/chunked and packaged. One can get a whole honeydew melon usually for less than U.S.$5.00. But, I needed per-cut and packaged since it was for my quick lunch on the go. I'm reading from my today's (April 28th) Whole Foods receipt in front of me.
Greetings from Los Angeles
thanks !!! i like so much your videos and this whole foods , i always go during my holidays in London 🙂
Awesome video Hannah thank you 👍❤️
I've never been in a Whole Foods! So this video was interesting for me. Love the cycling montage at the end. Would love to see more cycling. Thanks, Hannah, your tours are always fun!
I don't know what crawled up other people's butts, cause you mentioned unkind comments, but I just wanted to hop on here and tell you that your vlogs are my favorite part of the week, and your personality is lovely, and you look absolutely gorgeous, so ignore anything that tries to put a dampener on your spirits. I've been a fan for a year now, I think, and I'm always grateful to you for taking me all over London, cause I wouldn't be able to visit myself (too expensive).
I love the look of Wholefoods - fantastic range of products and layout, but my goodness those prices are totally bonkers! Great vlog as always, and yes - so lovely to see a bit of sunshine! x
I look forward to your weekly videos, thank you.
Thank you hannah for another Excellent video thank you for showing different styles of different shops Looking forward to the next one Love from Dublin🇮🇪❤️
Enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing.
Omg I love the bike footage! ❤
Thank you so much for this video. Finally, I'm visiting London in May❗ Looking forward to shopping at Whole Foods as I love organic stuff💞
Love your style of vlogging. Very informal and fun. Your shopping vlogs got me from the get go. Found you a few months ago and you're part of my Saturday morning routine with tea and breakfast. I've been catching up watching some of your older videos as well. Great job! Thanks for sharing a peek into living your life in London ❤
Hello Hannah and greetings from across the pond. Excellent video with superb production values. What a haul. That ready made salad looks absolutely delicious - and so do all those items in that salad bar, and of course all those exotic cheeses. Thanks so much for providing an update as to the best items to shop for at Whole Foods this Spring in London. 👍🌹
That was not a bad haul with regards to cost because it looked like good quality food. I don't mind spending a bit extra for the quality. I don't have kids so I think obviously the bigger the family the bigger the cost. The meat section looked so yummy and the cheese omg I could move in there, it looks delicious. If you compare certain foods obviously WF would be pricey to some people, its not targeted at the Lidl/Aldi customer. One thing that has increased all over is vegan/vegetarian foods, which some looks delicious but studies show its not always healthy and ultra processed. Great video as usual Hannah!
Hi Hannah, Many thanks. Enjoyed your video. I wish there were more Whole Food stores around London.
Love that your cycling…also love that you show all the prices, its everyday things that people never go into in other videos 🥰
Absolutely love blogs
I come across them by accident, but have subscribed, love you comment s ,and very down to earth personality ❤
Enjoyed the cycling home - thanks Hannah.
The madeleine's, fresh berries and hot food section was excellent at this Whole Foods, and visiting from Norway my sister and I thought the prices were quite reasonable and the variety was excellent. Food prices in Norway are crazy and choice is limited for anyone coming from rest of Europe😂.
I was one of those who mentioned in a previous vlog that I used to work in that Art Deco building when it was a department store called Barkers: that cordoned off staircase on the right was the way up to the fashion department on the first floor.
Ah yes! that's so cool
More fabulousness, right there, Hannah!
I love your food shop videos! Thanks so much
Love your page - it always picks me up! I used to live in Maida Vale, so love it there. Just fab.x
I loved the shop and the stunning building Hannah!
The Berry Chantilly Cake from Whole Foods is WORTH IT! A lovely celebration cake.
Honestly, you had me at Zara Home! Love Zara and H&M, and this one was so well presented 👏 also, Wholefoods!! I've never been in one but it looks amazing. But given my absolute thrity-ness, I'll settle for Tesco Hot cross buns for £1.15😂.
Thanks for this lovely. 🎉⭐
Best vlogger#2023!
hello! off to whole foods after work today... thanks Hannah! till next Friday!!!
Thank you , love your videos, i used to live in London and i miss it terribly , thank you !
Thx Hannah for another tour of Whole Foods (Paycheck) in London! I love your opinions re all the cheese options....shredded, cubed, slices.....all lazy!
Also how some cheese items looked like they should be thrown away....too funny! As always Hannah, your vlogs are a bright spot in my week!
Have a nice weekend Hannah, & I look forward to watching next week's vlog with a possible "Coronation" theme!
We don’t have Whole Foods here in Australia so I found your video really interesting love how you show the prices and you laugh with cheeses, I loved the cycling bit too, thanks for us with you 👏🏼👏🏼🙏🙏
Hi Hannah
Great vlog. Whole Foods looks brilliant.
Nothing wrong with lazy food.
If Itchy Boots can use GoPro you should be able to manage it on your electric bike.
Congratulations on being alcohol free for 5 months….well done
Heya Hannah! Thanks for that video. I've only ever had one Whole Foods experience at that was at Columbus Circle in NYC - and I'm a Saffa - lol. This looks awesome! Thanks for another great vlog. Can't wait for next week! x
Love your videos Hannah. Look forward to them every week. Would love to see some day trips away from London as well
Hello Hannah the London tea bus looks fun! Blessings and happy thoughts! ❤🎉❤
Another great vlog Hannah ❤❤
Really enjoyable as always!
Constructive criticism: you are great! I lOVE your videos ! Here in Idaho, would love to visit London again! Love it sooooo much. Thank you Hannah!!!
Thanks again for the vid, Hannah.
Very late to your videos but enjoying your refreshing and honest style. You go to my favourite parts of London which I try to visit once a year.
I haven't seen the Wholefoods shop in London but I've been to the ones in New York and love the concept. I hope they come up to the North. I'd practically live in it, certainly shop there daily.
This is not lazy food, lol. Convenient. I also don't like buying a bag of salad. Goes to waste. Rather buy ready made meals. The variety of ready made meals on offer is incredible. Looking good. Thank you for sharing. Great when going out to the beach or picnic. Love it.
Love your "Cheap/NOT cheap" take in this video!😊 Mind you, the way prices are going up everywhere else, they don't seem so outlandish these days! I miss Zara Home too. They had lovely bedding and always had tableware made of shells, and abalone. My nearest one closed some years ago. Anyway as always, your video brought a smile to my face. Thanks, Hannah!
Oh this is so wholesome 😅. It really is. I’ve mentioned before when you went to Harrods love your content. Would like to come here when I visit London 😊
Excellent as always Hannah 😂😘
Hi Hannah! I very much enjoyed the bike footage. Please do more of that. Show us London in the spring! 🌞🌷🪻🌻
Now I'm hungry!!! 😋😋😋 Thank you for sharing!!! ❤❤❤
Whilst visiting London last summer (from the U. S. ) I poked my head in there out of curiosity when travailing Kensington high street. I’ll take M&S food hall above this gladly. I learned later that this building was the home of the legendary yet short lived Biba department store from the glam rock era of the early 70’s. Thanks as always Hannah. ✌️
Oh Hannah thank you x Your comments in the cheese department 😂😂😂😂😂Have a fantastic weekend xx
Love your videos. My Wife and I love you and all your videos. Keep up the good work.❤❤
Thanks for the video Hannah! I shopped at this Whole Foods when I lived a short time at Chelsea Cloisters ☺️Crazy expensive but reminded me of home🇺🇸
I can't stand shopping for anything but your lovely personality makes shopping enjoyable!
Oh wow, I didn't know that there was a WHOLE FOODS over in the UK!!!! I have just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing this awesome video. Peace and blessings to you and yours, ❤🙏.
Love the cycling footage. These prices are still not bad compared to Australia and you have so much choice. I actually love that you have all those preprepped options.
I popped into the wholefoods in Kensington a few years ago when we were visiting London, just wanting to grab some lunch on the go. They had some lovely stuff but couldn't honestly believe how expensive some of it was! I mean it's fine if you're just getting a few yummy things isn't it but made me wonder if anyone does a bigger weekly shop there.
Love these videos. I spied some luscious looking big ox tails in that meat section. They are relatively expensive in Australia now. Used to be so cheap years ago.
Another great vlog, especially the cheese coverage.
(Torres black truffle crisps-yummo, as Rick Stein likes to say.)
The scenic cycle ride was cool, too.👍
Cheers!
Loved the footage of London from the bike 🚴 🏴
Another fantastic video ❤
I am right there with you. I cooked for years when my Kids were growing up. I don't want to cook anymore and love the Convenient food section I like to call it :-)
Hannah - The Luchito brand is lovely, and we have them up north here in our Tesco. And the La Preferida is a truly American mexican experience. (source: Probably the only Mexican in Yorkshire!)😂 Love these videos! Love your channel! xx
I GOTTA SAY HANNAH I LOVE THE MUSIC U USE IT'S AWESOME FUNKY AND SOPHISTICATED.
Your hair looks lovely Hannah!
Loved the video and the bike cam view!
Very cool as always! Whole Foods has a very good variety of products and its interior layout is very nice too. I liked the way all the products are organized inside those dislays racks and shelves. I think it is considered as an expensive market, because it is placed right in the centre of London, what increases a lot their prices. Maybe the same products sold by Whole Foods can be found at lower prices at Borough Market.
lovely Hannah :) this was amazing to look and watch :)
Looks like a great store for getting natural and organic food when in London - and especially nice that there is so much vegan food as well. Most of it also doesn’t seem that much more expensive compared to a regular supermarket here in Sweden. In fact, the wine especially is probably quite a bit cheaper than here.
