Heck yes it is. I go shopping for two weeks worth of groceries at Meijer for less than a hundred bucks.

I go to Whole Foods for a loaf of bread, get to the register with that and a few other items to fill one brown paper bag and it's like $80 every time. I don't even have the makings of a full meal in there half the time. I am always puzzled when I walk out of there it seems.

I will say this though, everything from there is pretty amazing. The difference is palpable from produce to breads to selection on just about every food category.
