Even those who don’t consider themselves experts in the art of building a cheeseboard or choosing the perfect wine will find something to love during this festive sale. Many of the discounted cheeses and wines will be part of expertly chosen pairings, so you can snag two on-sale items and know that they’ll taste great together and help you save a little dough.

The Whole Foodie Fest also includes some bonus savings for Amazon Prime members, which is where some of our favorite healthy finds come in. Prime members get special deals on some fruits, select caviar and even some sushi during the two-week extravaganza.
These are the five items we have on our Whole Foods shopping list for the first week of this sale—just keep in mind that not all items are on sale at all locations, so there may be some even better deals waiting at your neighborhood store.
1. Organic Grapes
If the sales on wine don’t tickle your fancy, maybe these juicy grapes will. Whole Foods is knocking its price down to $2.49 per pound of organic grapes for Prime members, which would be great on a cheese platter shared with friends or as an easy snack you can take on the go. Or try freezing them for a delicious and refreshing candy-like treat.

2. Mandarin Oranges
We love a mandarin orange moment, whether we’re enjoying them ina delicious wintry salador as a flavor-packed snack in the middle of the day. Now you can snag a 48-ounce bag of these tasty mandarin oranges for just $5.32, or $4.79 for Prime subscribers. As you probably already know, citrus fruit is bursting with vitamin C—that’s why our dietitians say it’s the best food you can eat to help support your immune system. This bag is plenty big, so it could easily last you and your family a week or so. But if you end up with a surplus of citrus, you could always put them to use in a fun recipe, like ourPavlova with Meyer Lemon Curd & Citrus Salad.
3. Mango-Yuzu California Roll
If you’re looking for a quick lunch you can pick up from the store, this could be a fun option for a midday treat. Whole Foods is offering 20% off this simple maki roll with a citrusy twist, but prices may vary from location to location. (You can get the roll for 28% off if you’re a Prime subscriber.) In any case,sushi tends to be a good optionif you’re looking for a healthy meal on the go. This roll doesn’t include a crunchy topping or spicy sauce, which means that it likely clocks in with slightly lower levels of added sugar and sodium which can be helpful for those paying attention to their intake of those nutrients.

4. Bartlett and Red Pears
The crisp freshness of a pear or apple can really help you settle into the first days of fall. We look forward to using our fall haul of pears in delicious recipes like ourPear CobblerandPear, Gorgonzola & Walnut Salad. You can celebrate the height of pear season on a budget this week, while Whole Foods offers pears at $1.99 per pound, or $1.79 for Amazon Prime customers.
5. Wine
Research indicatesthat moderate wine drinking (think: 1 to 2 glasses per day) could actually be beneficial to your heart health and even your cognitive health. We also employ wine in recipes like ourSlow-Cooker Mulled WineandWhite Wine Lemon-Caper Sauce. Whether you prefer red or white, sparkling or still, there’s a bottle to suit your needs in this sale. Kick back with friends and enjoy 10% off one of many bottles, including an organic Paso Robles, a barrel-aged Cabernet Sauvignon or a Prosecco brut. You can even opt for a bottle of Wölffer Estate’s Spring in a Bottle Non-Alcoholic Rosé to get your sober pals involved.
