Let's not even talk about 'Wild Oats' (recently bought out by Whole Foods), Mayfair Market (a supposedly less expensive stepchild of the Gelson's Markets), Gelson's, and Bristol Farms. Then of course we have our modest, cost-effective Trader Joe's which is the only market I truly like to shop at. Here's the link; though, I don't think they have any in Alabama yet...there is one in Georgia. http://www.traderjoes.com/imap/advantagecallback.asp?template=map_search Wade,
