how expensive food is back in Victoria, Whole Foods is quite affordable!

Be still my beating heart..haha...these muffins look amazing!! I love the ginger crumbles on the one muffin and how HUGE all the muffin tops are...I love me some muffin tops!
I so want the chocolate espresso muffins! Seriously, it's that time of the month where I neeeedddd them! YUM!
I agree that Whole Foods isn't *that* expensive. Food in general is expensive in Canada, so perhaps in the US it seems like WF is way up there in comparison to places like Trader Joes and whatnot. WF here definitely carries items I can get at Thrifty's for a cheaper price. I do think their hot bar is pricey though - I can't get out of there without dropping at least $12 on lunch (before tax and drink).
The only one of those muffins I've had is the chocolate chunk espresso - very tasty. I don't do ginger, so that one I would probably never try. And I always look at the power muffin, and get distracted by other things with copious amounts of chocolate or peanut butter. HA!
I agreee WF doesn't seem to be much more expensive than other places. I love your muffins they look good. Have you ever been to a Good Earth Cafe? They have good muffins there
i wonder if our whole foods has the GF muffin. You've got me on a mission now Kelsey!
Oh Lordy I need one of those last chocolatey coffee muffins. It would be worth the plane ticket over just to get my paws on one...I'd have picked out the chocolate chunks as opposed to ginger on the other muffin...the poor muffin would end up looking like a swiss cheese full of holes...

yum i love ginger beer! so spicy and bubbly :) i've always wanted to go to vancouver it looks so beautiful! glad you're having a good time :)
You wouldn't mind if I had a bite of that espresso muffin? Excellent picks, they're almost too amazing looking to eat, almost!
Holy muffin tops!! My goodness, they are like space ships!
I am mad at my Whole Foods because they (overnight) raised their price of almond butter from 4.99 to $7!! I was speechless. So sad. But I sitll go there for the occasional nutritional yeast, produce, and dinner.
Mmm, that spice blend sounds like it would be great!
Those have GOT to be the biggest muffin tops ever! They're like UFO'S! Haha! So jealous of your chocolate espresso muffin!
Mmmm, I would want that sausage the most!
Great buys!
I have yet to try a WF muffins, but they looks so delicious. Do you by chance know the nutrition stats? just curious :)
& ginger beer is the best.
I loved this peek inside the bag!! That last muffing spoke to my heart!! YUM!!!
Mmmm this makes me miss Whole Foods (although the Vancouver one looks way nicer than the Toronto one!). Those muffins look incredible, especially the chocolate espresso one.
I grew up shopping at Capers, and even recently lived near the one on Robson Street downtown Vancouver! I miss it so much! I grew up on those muffins and can taste that espresso chocolate just looking at it (love it). Be sure to try their lemon tarts and Mexican weddding cakes one day if you get a chance :)
OHMYGOD! those muffins are huge! they look like mushrooms...and sooo tasty looking. I hope they were good ;) I am not a big soda drinker, (can't stand the carbonation), but my husband always gets reeds ginger brew, he loves it :)
Those muffins are outraaageous!
