My husband says Earth Fare's chicken salad is better than Chicken Salad Chick's. Since it was on sale yesterday, the price was juuuust about the same. The only downside to that is I can't get to Earth Fare by golf cart.
The vine ripe tomatoes were also on sale, just $1.99/lb and those are organic, and perfectly ripe and amazingly juicy, and on the sweet side of good (some tomatoes are more tangy, some are more sweet. These are sweet.)
I also picked up some parmesano reggiano, which was absolutely overpriced. HOWEVER - whenever I try to get it anywhere else, a good 2 ounces is just rind. This piece I got had zero rind, which means 100% of it is edible instead of 80% of it. So if you break it down into edible ounces, the Earth Fare was actually less expensive per ounce with zero waste.
When you're paying $20/lb for cheese, it matters.

You are correct, up north Whole Foods, and TJ’s is right around the corner where I go. Both are my go to. Earth Fare for certain things.
In TV driving an hour plus to Whole Foods, when I can get to Earth Fare in 10 minutes just a no brainer. Plus Earth Fare chicken salad, is better than any I have bought here, and I do love fresh fish cutting.
