Trader Joes is alright. I would call whole foods a health food store not trader joes. Either way they have fair prices and usually get some good imported stuff.

I will have to try Trader Joe's. Whole Foods has good healthy food a little pricey tho. Is Trader Joes's similar? :)

I love trader joes. They are much cheaper than whole foods, but we have a whole foods down the street do it's where we usually end up shopping.

Okay, this thread is old as hell, but I had to comment! I effing love Trader Joes, it's where I primarily shop for everyday food/alcohol stuff.

My TJ's favoites are Jojo's, and their fettuccini alfredo in the freezer section. Anyone else have favorites?

Yeah, I have a friend who works there and he says that they have a policy of not hiring an applicant who does not smile and look the person conducting the interview in the eyes. Not saying you didn't do that, just saying it's one of their quirks.

I used to work there.
They LET me smoke while I was at the register.
It was cool.

Yup worked there for about 2 months and quit because my previous job was also at a grocery store. It's definitely a cool store..they've got imported products that you can't find anywhere else

i used to work at the local equivalent. i don't spend money at trader joes, but i do raid their dumpster multiple times a week for hermetically sealed hummus, guacomole, cheese, bread, and tons of other food that still has weeks of shelf life left.

I love that place.
Couscous can be hard to find at other stores, but joes always has a good selection, and their saffron is CHEAP and comes in PERFECT nug jugs... if you want a treat, cure a bud in a saffron-scented jar... OMG!

that place is like an oasis in the middle of the desert of scummy grocery stores. i love it.
