Love the BBQ
Great community store!
love the chicken salad and the pasta salad.
You should see my abs. They’re chizzled!
Granola is my favorite.
Great chicken salad!
Great place to shop for Natural & Organic foods, fresh local produce and bake goods, gluten free products, meats and deli items, bulk and grocery items, great selection of wines and beers, vitmains and a knowledgable staff that will help you with any questions and they also have events like authors of best selling books on nutrition to vendors showing you there products and given samples. I really enjoy going there!
These results are silly. I voted this morning when home market had 200 votes and now it has almost 1600 while no other stores numbers have changed? HOGWASH.
love the service.
Store is great!!
Earth Fare ROCKS!!
The Healthy Home Market (Home Economist to me forever) is the best health food store I have ever shopped at and had the pleasure to work for. My husband and I met there as employees 13 years ago. We live far away now- but everytime we come home we go shopping there. The Home E is a special place!
When is this contest going to end? Its time.
With the economy being what it is, and with me not coming out on top, I find that I now buy specific things at several different places. I make every effort to buy all of our produce at the Farmer’s Market on Kings Drive – – get there early to get the most selection. I buy eggs, dairy, coffee, and bread at Trader Joes – as well as snacks and frozen meat substitutes and health/beauty and home/cleaning/paper products. I buy dry beans, condiments, salsa, pickles, jalapenos, and cheese at Harris Teeters, and I subscribe to their eVIC emails. I take full advantage of their sales. I buy bulk items such as oatmeal, pasta, grains, rice, beans at the Healthy Home Market. The HT store brand is really very good, and the prices are very reasonable.
This is really excellent, thank you for posting. I always find your post very educational and helpful. Keep the posts coming! 🙂
