Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I just checked my receipt and the plain sandwich bread was $4.99. I don't have the receipt for last week when I bought the sun dried tomato (I usually switch back and forth for variety), but I think it is one to two dollars more. This is from the WF on Ponce in Atlanta, btw. Lori in ATL > > I had a question for those of you who buy the Whole Foods GF Bakehouse > products.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Sun dried tomato bread was $6.99 about a month ago in Hadley, MA. Since it is baked in NC, perhaps your greater cost has to do with fuel prices. in VT Quote
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I live in the Bay Area, but have been to the Whole Foods in Madison, WI. The prices for the GF Bakehouse stuff are definitely higher here than in WI. I'm chalking it up to higher transportation costs, not to mention terribly high real estate rent out here! I heard rumors in the past about opening up a bakery on the West coast. Maybe that will help....

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I met Lee Tobin, the maker of WholeFoods Bakehouse Prouducts, last month. He was touring many Southern California grocery stores and did taste testing of new bakehouse treats which will be coming out in the next few months. He said that his products are more expensive as you go west. As you all know, the Bakehouse products are very perishible and need to stay in freezers, so they rent out freezer storage space in California. That costs...Then there is also the issue that things are more expensive in California. The baking facility is in North Carolina. Nice man by the way. Whole Foods Bakehouse I had a question for those of you who buy the Whole Foods GF Bakehouse products. It seemed to me that a while ago someone mention the GF breads and was complaining about the price, and said something about 5 or 6 dollars... Well, here at my Palo Alto store the price for the GF Sun Dried Tomato bread is $9.29. I was wondering if price varies from store to store, or from state to state. Would people please share which store they shop at (location) and price of the Sun Dried Tomato bread so we can see if this is the case? (It is my addiction, and also the most expensive bread they offer)... TIA!Right now I'm enjoying an orange cranberry scone with my morning coffee. It's good, but I'm not sure I couldn't make it myself... Quote
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 Try Hagman's recipe for Devonshire scones. Add orange zest and cranberries and a little orange extract to the recipe. I also sprinkle them with coarse sugar and a little more orange zest. They turn out better than any scone I've ever tasted, including the ones with gluten.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 I think you are absolutely right, fuel prices are responsible. So we need to agitate for a gluten free bakehouse on the west coast.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 At the Fresno, CA Whole Foods the GF Sun Dried Tomato bread is over $9.00. I agree with everyone else in that it is probably the additional shipping expense. It isn't really fair that they charge so much more for the GF items, but it just seems to be that way. I don't buy very many of the GF Whole Foods Bakehouse items very often because of the price. I usually keep a pack of the choc. chip cookies in the freezer for the kids and maybe a pie or two. The Prairie Bread is the only thing I buy on a regular basis. Most everything ranges between $7-$10, and they aren't large amounts of baked goods either. At least the loaves of bread are a decent size compared to some other GF breads. I buy the Kinnikinnick breads and spend about $4.50 for 15 slices (and an average of 25 cents per item for shipping). So the WFB breads still cost more even after the shipping expense on my Kinnikinnick order since I buy in bulk. But they don't have a bread that compares to the Prarie Bread... nn in CA ~Original Message~ I had a question for those of you who buy the Whole Foods GF Bakehouse products.
