The thing about Trader Joe’s that I don’t like is that they over-package a lot of their own foods.
The frozen fish for example is wrapped inside a box, which has a wrapper on the outside. three pieces of pacakging is at least one too many.

Also, if you look carefully many of TJ’s products are high in sodium.

I no longer shop there unless I’m looking for daffodils.

I’m w/Ryn on this one, store aisles too small and rude people oblivious to anyone or anything around them. The cheap displays of public affection between persons of the same sex are pretty disgusting too, especially at the Speedwy/Wilmot local.

Trader Joe’s is great for its lower prices on many items and I simply adore the massive cereal collection since I’m addicted to cereal.

What turns me off about the place is the small, cramped aisles and shoppers who seem to have no regard for others around them.

I enjoy the specialty type stores, especially AJ’s, but they can be pricey.
They’re great for a special dinner or for entertaining. You can create some cool and unique dishes.

Love Trader Joe’s also.

Little things I cannot find elsewhere.

Seafood stew. TJ’s mayonnaise.

And if you like that sort of thing, their butter milk is the best.

Haven’t tired their expensive regular milk for a while, I assume they still carry it.

Lots of other things too much to mention or remember.

Good reminder, need to get over to the one on speedway and Wilmot soon.
