if you're looking for a health food store, like vitamins and the lot, go to mother earth. but if youre looking for a natural grocery store, with reasonably priced organic produce and bulk foods, SHOP HERE!!! not only does wards have a better selection of bulk items than mother earth, but its so much cheaper (1-3 dollars a pound less). i love wards so much. everything i need is right in this store. the staff is super nice and friendly and always seem to be in a good mood. yeah, ok, the big meat section kinda sucks, but its sooo easy to avoid. theres a clear path you can take to avoid walking past. its really not so disturbing. now dont get me wrong, i also shop at mother earth, but i only get things there that i cant find at wards (organic makeup, vitamins, etc.) but i cant afford to shop there. being a newlywed with all kinds of bills, i have to shop sensibly. and wards helps me out. low prices for natural and organic items that my family needs. you'll love it here :]
