a lot of people don't realize that whole foods has a robust nationwide mutual aid program for giving free goods to community members like you. when you pay for your groceries, instead of going to a cashier, you simply go to the area called "self-checkout" and you're actually able to bag your own items. that means less work for the workers and gives you a little more autonomy in your shopping experience. i usually end up saving a lot of money this way too!
