28 items that are cheaper at Whole Foods

Whole Foods has started cutting prices to better compete with traditional supermarkets.

The grocery chain hasn't provided many details on the price cuts, so the product review site Cheapism.com checked a Long Island, New York store for the best deals.

Cheapism compared the prices of hundreds of items at the store to prices for similar items at a nearby Shoprite. Some of the biggest differences in price were noted in almond butter, thin crust pizzas and potted flowers.

Note: Cheapism's findings were for Long Island only. Prices may vary elsewhere.

Here are the items that were cheaper at Whole Foods:

1. Tofu. Fourteen ounces of organic tofu costs $1 dollar less at Whole foods, compared to the same amount of tofu at ShopRite.

2. Almond milk. Every brand of almond milk is cheaper at Whole Foods, including the store brand, which is 10 cents cheaper than ShopRite's at $3.69 a gallon, according to Cheapism.
