Columbus Area Free Breakfast
Monday, August 11th, 2008Free breakfast anyone?
MidOhio Food Bank says of Central Ohio Panera locations:
“Customers are encouraged to donate a non-perishable breakfast item at their local bakery-cafe before 10:30 a.m. in exchange for a free breakfast sandwich.”
I was racking my brain for what was a non-perishable food item… when I think non-perishable I think canned goods. Corned beef hash was the only thing I came up with, duh…
Mid Ohio FoodBank says:
“Non-perishable breakfast items include cereal, breakfast bars, oatmeal, pancake mix, etc.”
Oh yeah…
Through August 17, 2008 at Panera…

Whole Foods Market - Columbus
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008Wonder how the Whole Foods Market in Columbus is doing now?
A New York Times article says Whole Foods has a reputation for being high priced.
“Now, in a sign of the times, the company is offering deeper discounts, adding lower-priced store brands and emphasizing value in its advertising.”

The article is about a Philadelphia PA. Whole Foods Market store and the chain in general. The stores have a nickname “Whole Paycheck” based on their reputation in better times. Columbus based TNS Retail Forward is quoted in the article in the New York Times Business section saying there is a trend toward grocery shopping at discounters like Auldi in the current economy.
I have only shopped at the Columbus Whole Foods store a couple of times. Love the produce. Just looking at it is a treat. NYT article says you can buy beans and tofu at good prices at Whole Foods. I don’t eat tofu but beans are cheap at most stores.
