Here in the mid-Louisiana area, (Lafayette, La) we have Vitamin Plus and some other scattered locations. Nice prices. I believe one of the reasons they have reasonable prices is because (1) they don't accept credit cards and pass that savings (no credit card trasaction fees) onto the customers (2) they don't have a scanning system at the register. Note - NOT all foods at the health food store is healthy for you either. I’ve seen some of the Red Mill products at Kroger’s.

I live in New York City, though, and I have to say that TJ's produce section is pathetic compared to Whole Foods'. Also consider local farmers' markets (or better yet, farmers directly), or food co-ops (once again, usually in urban areas). Finally, you could subscribe to a CSA (community-support agriculture) which typically provides ample produce at a reasonable price - although you do have to pay a larger sum up front.
