Most Expensive U.S. Grocery Store Makes Whole Foods Look Like the Dollar Store

While Whole Foods is the pricey national chain that you may only buy a few favorite items if at all, there's a grocery store that makes it look like a dollar store for markets.

This luxury market, which originated in Massachusetts, but now offers valet parking and caters to celebrities and the rest of LA's 1%, where eggs currently range from $12 to $25.

Welcome to the market where you can find $25 loaves of bread, $22 two-and-a-half-pound rotisserie chickens, and the freshest, delectable food choices.

Reusable tote bags will cost you at least $135 at this Instagram-worthy market, which is home to an incredible cafe and other products.

It's the Erewhon Market (pronounced Air-Uh-Wan), a health food-style grocery store known for its high-end groceries and other items, only located in the Los Angeles area right now, with no plans to expand.

According to the Food Republic website, this first-of-its-kind market in America was originally opened in Boston in 1966 by Michio and Avenline Kushi, who immigrated from Japan. The market focused on macronutrients and natural foods, but moved to the Los Angeles area two years later (as did their grocery store).

It's truly a luxury grocery store catering to LA's elite, and with that comes celebrities and the wealthy.

According to People Magazine, Erewhon became one of Los Angeles’s hottest spots to see and be seen in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the market was one of only a few places people could go.

If you feel like you have disposable income to do some online shopping at Erewhon, give it a shot.

By the way, according to Food Republic, Erewhon is named after a fictional health-conscious utopia in Samuel Butler's book "Erewhon,"  which is "nowhere" spelled backward, also known as "Over the Range."
