Are there any health food stores in SoMD or should I stock up on my supplements and stuff before relocating?
There is one in Leonardtown.
I hope they will have organic produce and such. We like to by organic stuff whenever we can afford it. The organic meats get expensive. I also prefer getting my bodycare products from the health food store.
Mc.Kays in Lexington park has that stuff. You just need to ask where.I hope they will have organic produce and such. We like to by organic stuff whenever we can afford it. The organic meats get expensive. I also prefer getting my bodycare products from the health food store.
I don't think GNC sells food... They are more of a vitamin store.
Whole Foods and Trader Joes in NOVA... Hop Skip and a Jump from SOMD. especially if ya really care.
Trader Joes is where I do most all my shopping. I just pick a few things up elswhere. The locater for TJ's said the closest was in Alexandria, which is about an hour and a half away, right? That's what is a hop, skip and a jump to SoMDers? Wow. I'm very spoiled with my TJ's here in San Diego. I've never been more than 15 minutes away from one. Right now I'm only 5 minutes away. Heck, even when we had no car and had to walk, it took less time than that. lol.
Whole Foods will put you in the poor house! I got sticker shock after going in there. For years my hubby would ask about it and I'd steer him away from it. He doesn't like to look at prices, he's used to just buying it if he wants something. Lots of things look really good there, but he'd have to make twice as much money as he is for me to shop there. I don't know how people can afford it. Of course, we're big eaters too. I suppose it I was 20 years old and could get by on a grapefruit or two for the day, then I could afford them but that just isn't the case.
There's a TJ in Annapolis also. Alexandria isn't quite 90 minutes if you plan your trip correctly.
It's actually in Falls Church, but well worth the trip! Awesome area! Quick trip the other direction on Leesburg Pike/ King Street and your in Old town!

Is the Annapolis TJ's closer than the Alexandria one, then, to California? I don't know where we're going to live but hubby's job will be in California, so I'm referencing everthing from there.
Probably about the same distance but the drive to Annapolis is MUCH more pleasant than driving to Northern Virginia.
