Whole … you know
Turkey dinner on a Canlis budget: A basket of 20 common items used in Thanksgiving dinner cost $87.91 at Whole Foods versus $72.28 at Trader Joe’s, according to Bloomberg News (Page A9).
The Buzz knows what a lot of Whole Foods shoppers will be thankful for come Thursday: That payday was Wednesday.
Membership has its benefits: A Chinese gazillionaire paid $170.4 million for a painting — “Reclining Nude,” by Amedeo Modigliani — at a Christie’s auction earlier this money, and he put the whole shebang on his American Express credit card (Page A9).
After the auction, the guy swung by Whole Foods for some Thanksgiving groceries — only to have his card declined.
Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1971, hijacker D.B. Cooper parachuted out of an airliner over the Northwest, clutching a briefcase stuffed with $200,000 in ransom money (Today in History, Page B4).
We don’t know what became of Cooper, but we are sure of one thing: He had enough money to buy Thanksgiving groceries at Whole Foods.
