Another thread that many will hate! (Columbia, Charleston: home, groceries, shop)

[davey123]

The title says it all. I just drove home after working in my office late tonight, and I felt compelled to vent. Since I was working late, I wanted to grab a quick bite to eat and then return to my office. I went to EarthFare because I wanted something healthy. Unfortunately, the choices at EarthFare were so disappointingly limited. I know that I mentioned this in another thread. However, it's just so frustrating! If Columbia is not going to get a Whole Foods Market, can't we demand that EarthFare provide a much higher quality array of products? I really, really miss being able to go to Whole Foods Market.

Okay, venting done.

Were you looking for groceries or prepared food?

Prepared foods. Their options are horrible. Of course, I also think that they are limited on the grocery-side. But, it's the prepared foods that I find particularly offensive.

Have you tried Rosewood Market? I've never eaten their hot meals, but I've been told the food is tasty.

I should add that as overrated as I find Whole Foods to be in many ways, their hot food bar options are pretty great.

Could always drive to Charleston, Charlotte, Augusta, or Greenville I guess?

Why would anybody want to drive to Augusta? The only time I would ever go there would be for the Masters or by accident.

Augusta doesn't have Whole Foods last I checked. Not sure of the others.

If you like prepared foods check out the Gourmet Shop or DiPrato's; both have great options.

Don't know, just seemed like the standard list of other cities that have _______? I forgot to mention Myrtle Beach as well.
