Wow it's funny to see a post about this because today was the first time I actually got to go in the one nearest me. I pass it often, it shares a building with Staples and Michaels craft store. Im usually across the street at Sports authority or Home Depot when I think about going in but it is always packed and really a problem trying to get in and find a spot in their lot which just isnt big enough.
Well today I just walked over. Pretty impressive. Some of the stuff they have I ususally buy elsewhere but they have a nice selection. The store is run very well and the employees seem friendly and helpful. I just wanted to look around but ended up with like 4 items. I will have to plan another trip there and graba basket on the way in next time.

As far as the pricing goes, it depends on what you get. I pay $2 a pound of sunflower seeds (roasted and taken out of the shell) at TJ, the grocery store sells 1 pound of sunflower seeds in the shells for a lot more $3+ . Sometimes their fruit is more then grocery stores, but fruit pricing is always all over the place. _________________ “Strength training is such a mess and so full of garbage for the sake of commercialization that everyone thinks they need to change their routine every six weeks.” Dr Ken Leistner One of the greatest talk shows http://bigoanddukes.com/

All my housemates get stuff pretty much exclusively from Trader Joes. I don't because its too expensive for the stuff I usually get and its a 20 minute drive versus a 2 minute drive to my normal grocery store. I also don't notice a difference between their stuff and Stop n Shop stuff provided you shop right.

I like Trader Joe's but I also like to support my local Farmers and such too.

The one local to me has exactly what you described. Michael and staples, across the street from SA...

we don't have a trader joe's on the island, and in fact i have never been to one, but there IS something extremely love-inspiring about a great health food store. the one here on the island is mana foods:   here's ryan the produce manager. he knows me on sight. i don't know if he's happy to see me, or bummed cuz he knows i'm going to make him box up 40 pounds of local oranges...
