Most Expensive Grocery Store In America Has 7 Minnesota Locations

Buying groceries has been painful in the last few years. Inflation has been out of control, and food prices are ridiculously high.

I do a lot of our family's grocery shopping. We have a teenager and a tween, and they eat an enormous amount of food! Our grocery bill easily passes $1,000 each month. When I go grocery shopping, I'm always looking for the best deal and the lowest price.

I do a lot of my shopping at discount stores like ALDI. We buy what we can in bulk at Costco. And, we never shop at trendy grocery stores that tend to be more expensive.

Whole Foods Market Is The Most Expensive Grocery Store Chain

Delish came out with the most expensive grocery stores in the United States. One of them near the top of the list was Whole Foods Market. Delish calls Whole Foods "Whole Paycheck."

There’s a reason why Whole Foods is often referred to as “Whole Paycheck.” Since being founded in 1980, Whole Foods has earned a reputation for being one of the most overpriced grocery stores in the country.

Amazon bought Whole Foods back in 2017, which did bring the prices down some, but it's still pretty pricey.

Whole Foods Market has 7 locations in Minnesota, all in the Twin Cities metro area. Those locations are in some of the wealthier communities in Minnesota, like Edina, Minnetonka, Woodbury, and Maple Grove. They also have Whole Foods Market in Hennepin, Uptown, and St. Paul.

Not To Be Confused With Whole Foods Co-op

There are two stores in Duluth, Minnesota that are called Whole Foods Co-op, not Whole Foods Market. These businesses are not related.

Other most expensive grocery store chains in America according to Delish are ACME Markets and Erewhon Market, both of which are not currently operating in Minnesota.
