-The price of a basket of 20 ingredients commonly used to prepare Thanksgiving dinner -- things like turkey, potatoes, canned corn, stuffing and green beans -- rose 7.6 percent to $94.63 at the organic grocer this year, even as food deflation pulled down grocery prices across the industry, according to a price study conducted this week by Bloomberg Intelligence at stores in northern New Jersey. -
Honestly not surprising and also just incredibly lame. Remember a couple years ago when prices began to rise drastically across every dept? New price changes just about every week or so on a huge amount of products and yet we kept hearing from corporate that Whole Foods wants to be competitive in its pricing. So about on average ten to fifteen products would go up in price and maybe a couple would be lowered about twenty cents. Whole Foods has been speaking up for years about how prices are going to get lower. At this point we have to be honest, its all lies.
