Person Goes Off About Expensive Whole Foods Salad That Didn't Even Consist Of A Lot Of Food

Whole Foods has a reputation for making even a quick lunch feel a little pricey, and one TikTok video pushed that conversation right back into the spotlight. A woman named Vanessa showed what she bought for lunch and how much it cost, and the total left plenty of people stunned.

The meal itself did not look especially large, which made the price feel even harder to justify. That sparked a wave of reactions from people who either felt the pain immediately or shrugged and said this is exactly what Whole Foods is known for.

Vanessa's post turned into a bigger conversation about grocery store pricing, portion size, and what shoppers are really getting for their money.

$22 is quite expensive for this one meal, though it doesn't even look all that fantastic.

Vanessa goes on TikTok to show off the meal she got, while also displaying the screen that breaks down the pricing. You can see that it is charged by weight, and you can see how much the food and the drink cost, which totaled $22.

The TikTok caption asks how anyone survives in America, but the majority of people do not shop at Whole Foods on a regular basis.

People started comparing prices from their own neighborhoods, and the reactions kept piling up.

People began leaving comments about how much they paid for food in their area, which helped them relate to the super high prices.

Regardless, it's not worth it to pay this much for a single meal plate anyway.

That is when the usual Whole Foods debate really took over.

This is the same type of dinner-bill fight as asking a friend to pay for their expensive extras after a split-bill dinner.

With the internet being the internet, people also started giving suggestions on how to navigate the infamous high prices.

Again, Whole Foods is basically known for its wild pricing, so you have to expect that going in.

There are many reasons to love Whole Foods and what they have to offer, but you have to be willing to pay a little extra.

Here is the full video that was posted on TikTok.

This shows the plate of food and the breakdown of its price.

It's no secret that Whole Foods is expensive, so we're not surprised that they went through all that trouble to call out the pricing. It's not really reasonable, but you should know what to expect if you're going in there.

What do you think about this pricing, and how would you have reacted?

Whole Foods costing $22 for a tiny salad, reminds us of friends who ordered double the food and still demanded an equal bill split.
