Wholefoods online?? 3 September 2022 at 7:38PM in Food shopping & groceries 5 replies 196 views

Hello, I'm looking for advice on the best place to buy whole foods such as lentils, nuts, seeds online? Many of the places I have looked are super pricey!!

Often supermarkets have the best prices for those things - if they stock them. Lots of the wholefood places only sell organic products, which I'm not fussed about, so the supermarket 'normal' products are significantly cheaper. 

I also get a few bits from Holland and Barrett - they seem to always have some sort of online discount code (currently 15% off £30), which can bring their prices down to something reasonable.

Ah thank you I forgot about Holland & Barrett! Will take a look. Unfortunately we are limited to just Tesco supermarket where I live.

Tesco does sell a lot, but if you're shopping in store it might be trickier to find things. Their app has a feature now for in-store shopping - if I click that, then search for chia seeds, it'll tell me that they're in stock on aisle 18 in my local shop.

If your Tesco has one, it's worth checking out the World Foods section.  Lots of things like nuts and lentils are cheaper in the Indian range than the whole foods section.

It's worth doing a quick internet search for your county.

I've got one where I can buy as much / little as I want and I make a day trip out of my visit. They also deliver if I order online.
