i go there all the time
I love it.
some prices are good, ie: eggs where cheaper there last week than at the supermarket they were 1.49 (im in s. calif) when the supermarket had them at least 2.49
the food is way better quality than supermarkets.
the pre pkg. food is more expensive.
but i budget for it.

I LOVE TJ's!!! Unfortunately, Iowa doesn't have them. I was visiting AZ last week and I made a special trip just to stock up on some of our favorites. I think they are very reasonably priced and their food is great! Not to mention their cheap wine...do they still carry the $3 buck Chuck?

I shop there weekly. I love the place! All the workers are friendly and the store is always clean. My daughter loves to get her balloon and get this they are biodegradeable balloons. They will also let you try a lot of products in the store. I was asking about granola one day and the clerk ripped open a box and said lets try it. They also often have a food and a juice to taste at the back counter.
Prices are usually better than the grocery stores. Eggs, yogurt, pitas, ground beef, and cereal always tend to be cheaper. Pork too. I also like that a lot of the stuff is organic. Don't know if all Trader Joe's do this but, at ours if you bring in paper or reusable bags, they give you a raffle ticket for a weekly drawing for a bag of groceries.

Was just there today! LOVE that store. Love the all natural products at reasonable prices. If you go - try the JoeJoe's cookies -- YUMMY! I just stocked up today on lunchbox items and cookies, didnt have much time for a bigger shopping. Unfortunately its not exactly near by so I dont get there as much as I'd like to.

We love Trader Joe's! They have good flavored juices (orange, peach, mango, for example) much less expensively than the grocery store. It's also the only place we can find goat's milk for DS, so we go there weekly. They also have good deals on things like bread, crackers, brown rice crisps (like crackers/chips), organics, etc. I don't like very many of the frozen prepared foods, but everything else is awesome!
