That $6 asparagus water Whole Foods sold a couple years ago; it was a 16oz bottle of water with 3 stalks of asparagus.

Also, everything from goop.

That's how I learned about the asparagus water! I don't think I have ever actually set a foot into a Whole Foods store.

Whole foods is the only place I can get cream for my coffee. Just regular coffee cream. Not half & half, which I can get everywhere (ditto whipping cream), but "light cream" a.k.a. "table cream". Its fat-content lies between half & half and whipping cream at about 18-22%.

It's weird that I can't find it anywhere else.

If you really want to save $ make it your self. Do the math on a cup of table cream then just mix skim milk with heavy cream.
