Tell Us About Your Favorite 365 Everyday Value® Product and You Could Win Lip-Balm-PeppermintIt was definitely not news when I learned that 82% of those in a Harris Interactive survey said that the way they shop for groceries has changed in the past year or so, that they're using more coupons, comparison shopping and buying more grocery store brands. Sales of our own branded 365 Everyday Value® products have indeed grown as shoppers discover their value…great pricing on natural and organic, without the artificial additives often found in value brands. Can you tell we're proud? We know you're buying them-thanks!-so tell us which is your favorite 365 Everyday Value® brand product and how you use it. We'll choose a winner at random from the responses we receive and that winner will receive a $50 Whole Foods Market® gift card plus A Better Bag filled with some of our favorite 365 Everyday Value® items.

I love the 365 Everyday Value Vanilla Soymilk! For the past several years I have substituted soymilk for cow milk in my cold cereal. The health benefits are amazing, the taste is amazing, and the price is truly amazing!

I love 365 creamy almond butter and virgin coconut oil! Both are staples in my kitchen. I also love to get 365 canned pumpkin when I can find it.

I really like the 365 shampoos and conditioners. I do not like to use personal products that are going to pollute the environment. These seem to fit the bill and also do what shampoo and conditioner is supposed to do. The mint and lavender frangrances are especially pleasant. Also, my kids seem to like them too. The only thing is they have gone up 33% since I started using them approx 1 year ago :(!!!

I really appreciate your big bag (20 oz?) of 365 Organic Pacific Coast coffee beans, it's a "must" for my 35-mile drive to work at 6:30AM in the morning. One morning, as I was leaving my garage, I realized that I had left my filled coffee mug behind on my kitchen table...I was so distracted by this thought that I ran into my garage door while backing up & now have a big dent on the side of my car.

I really love the 365 frozen vegetables. They all seem very fresh and taste really good once cooked. I always have some in my freezer.

My favorite 365 Everday value item is the Orange Juice with added Calcium! I use it almost every day to make myself smoothies in the morning--orange juice and chocolate soy protein. It tastes like those chocolates shaped like orange wedges that people give out at holidays...so yummy.

I really trust 365 hair products (shampoo and conditioner) for my daughter. You can't beat the price, but knowing they don't contain dangerous chemicals for my kindergartner is the reason why I go out of my way to stock up. I use the shampoo and conditioner for my whole family (including the dogs - they smell like mint now ;)

My favorite is by far the Sandwich cookies. They are absolutely incredible and 254 times better than Oreos (not that I remember what they taste like). I usually buy the chocolate ones and eat them a very specific way. I take the top off one and then dip it in milk. And then I do that to another and combine the filling until I get like 5 fillings in one bite and it's just divine. Ok I'm going to have to go get some during my lunch break today, I can't wait!

I buy many of the 365 products because of their high quality and reasonable price. The one that my family uses every day is the extra virgin olive oil. We put it on our salads, pasta, and in our smoothies and soups. It's always delicious and keeps our skin smooth.

I love the 365 Organic Raw Agave Nectar.It has become a staple in my cupboard. I am so glad I discovered it.

the olive oil is used every day and is excellent quality and flavor, so my favorite. we've also been using the organic broths more now than it's autumn, as a base for warming soups...

My most favorite in the whole world 365 lemonade! I don't know what you guys do to those lemons! When I drink that lemonade I feel like sitting in the hot georgia sun in a searsucker suit fanning myself with a big panama hat with a big old sloppy hound dog at my feet barking at the neighbors :) keep up the good stuff whole foods!

When I found out Whole Foods makes authentic style corn tortillas, I was amazed. You can never find fresh tortillas that have not been fried but with the 365 Orgainac Corn Tortillas, I now have what I've always looked for. They work perfect for me to make my own baked tortilla chips and with some fresh salsa and guacamole, they are awesome.

I love the 365 cinnamon. It's gluten free and yummy. Someone convinced me to try another brand and it tasted terrible in comparison. I'll never try another again. :)

What a deal! The 365 ORGANIC dried beans: black beans, pintos, split peas, lentils, garbanzos! On the same shelves quinoa and brown rice! Shelf-stable, great price, great nutrition...but if you're short on time, just to the right are the 365 canned beans! A secret: buy the great quinoa salad with black beans in take-out (medium size) and add a drained can of 365 black beans and heat for a great dinner with a salad, red wine, and a WF baguette! My corgis feel the same way about Whole Paws Hip and Joint Formula Dog Biscuits! Their fave cookies!

My favorite 365 product is the 32oz. yogurt. Every night after dinner my kids want to know what is for dessert. We have come up with something we are both happy with. 365 vanilla yogurt sprinkled with granola. They are happy and we are happy they are not eating cookies or candy! Thanks.

My favorite 365 Everyday Value brand food would have to be the organic, fruit-on-the-bottom, nonfat yogurts. They are super delicious and are the only ones that my 6 year old will eat. Plus they cost less than any other organic yogurt around. Perfect!
