Trader Joe's, a few locations in suburban chicago. they deal with many smaller manufactures. they carry natural and organic products, some vegan,some vegetarian, but also some regular stuff too. many ppl go there who shop whole foods also to get organic or natural and environmental hygiene and cleaning products, wild caught fish, dairy and meat products w/o hormones for cheaper than wholefoods.
since you are a bit familiar with wholefoods i'll give you an idea from the shopper's point of view: i get these products for cheaper the at trader joe's, then i hit wholefoods for produce and other organic food items i can't get at trader joe's. i rarely look in the cosmetic aisle at whole foods, as i know its a bit pricey. i do however look in trader joe's every week. p.s. they have a lot of natural cosmetic products, few organic cosmetic products.
oh yeah, i almost forgot the fruitful yield, also having several locations in the suburban chicago area.
trader joe's/glen ellyn,il - downer's grove,il (and more)
fruitful yeild/ lombard,il - bloomingdale,il (and more)
ps green living growing in chicago and businesses/products haven't widely expanded from the city out to the suburbs yet. (im pioneering a non-toxic,environmental residential cleaning service in the burbs right now ;)Any good natural food stores or beauty aid stores in your area?
umm... idk about product stores, but an organic FOOD store is called Whole Foods Market.
