A different way to grocery shop!

by DavidHaar

Just recently got turned onto Trader Joe's and I've become a staunch supporter. The food is great quality and priced so much lower than traditional grocery stores.

The only drawback is they do not have all of that other stuff you can get at other grocery stores. Other than that, Trader Joe's is a whole new way to grocery shop.

Extremely friendly staff!

• Pros: Healthy, friendly staff, great prices!
• Cons: they don't have all the non-grocery stuff you also need.

Fresh produce and gourmet frozen foods sold at affordable prices.

In Short
Founder Joseph Coulombe started this L.A.-based convenience chain 34 years ago. Today, you can get exotic, prepackaged frozen foods, fresh salsas, huge portobello mushrooms, baby artichokes and heirloom tomatoes fresher--and cheaper--than at most supermarkets. Inexpensive meat, fish, coffees and teas, dozens of cheeses, grains and pastas cram the shelves. The frozen section features tasty treats, including barbecue chicken pizzas, mushroom risotto and salmon patties. Beer, wine and liquor sections are stocked with very affordable labels.
