My favorite grocery store, Whole Foods provides excellent choices for organic, natural and specialty foods, as well as bath & body care, and herbs and nutritional supplements. I prefer the Arlington location over other DFW metro locations, not only because of it's proximity to my home, but the people here just seem friendlier and more down-to-earth than some of the others.
If I need just a few items, I can usually get in and out without too much of a problem, but it's also fairly pleasant when I want to hang out and wander the aisles a bit. The only exception would be peak times and days, but that's true for all grocery stores. I'd still rather traverse this crowd than the Kroger or Tom Thumb.
One of my favorite things, aside from just plain high quality products and lots of choices in brands, varieties of groceries and healthcare items, is the gardening section out front. Plants and offerings change with the season. I can get giant pumpkins and colorful gourds in the autumn months or potted herbs and vegetables in the spring and summer months. The majority of them are locally grown or planted, and the ines I've gotten have all been very healthy and long-lasting. A couple years ago I got some pumpkins and gourds in September and they lasted (on my front porch) until the following August! All of my guests laughed at me, but I just couldn'nt bear to throw them away when they were still in great shape -- haha!
In any case, suffice it to say Whole Foods has quality and flavor, whether you are a do-it-yourselfer in the kitchen and garden, or if you like things quick and ready to eat/ heat up.
