I love their designer shopping bags! The new ones with blues and greens and black graphic-looking roosters. Very Cool! And the best part is that they encourage people to not take the plastic or paper bags, but bring their reusable bags with them each time they shop! I love Trader Joe's meat and organic selection.. also they have a big line of supplements (I'm not sure of the quality of these though, does anyone know anything about them?) Most of all, it's a fun place to shop - kinda co-opy with unique and healthy selections. |

But I need those brown paper bags so I can sort my recyclables and put them out with my trash! And let me tell you, out here in BFE, my unique recyle bags are causing a major traffic slow down on my quiet country dirt road. EVERYBODY! (ok, both people) wants to see where these tres chic bags came from ;) |

I saw the ad in the mail come out last week. 8 times huh? WOW!! How would you compare it to a Whole Foods? I wish they would open something of substance around me. I always have to travel MILES to get to a good organic store! |

Quit yer whining! I'm 30 miles from TJ's! (I stop on my way to and/or from work) I think TJ's produce sucks and is way over priced. 19 cents PER banana for example. But I love their frozen pizzas, the flax seed totilla chips and wine. I can't compare it to Whole Foods. never been there. |

We buy wasabi soy nuts at TJs. They also have some good sauces and condiments.

I love the Orange Chicken!!!! It is sooo good! They have lots of fun new stuff to try. I have already been to the new TJ in Woodbury twice... I suppose that doesn't compare to your 8! Oh yeah, and I love the dried fruit bars. They are cheap and tasty. The wine isn't bad either. |

I’m sure I’m miss spelling, but here goes…Gnocchi in Gorgonzola. It’s in the freezer section. Quick side dish. Cibata rolls you finish baking at home. The frozen Artichoke dip and spanicopita are good and nice to keep on hand for quick appetizers if friends stop by. Chocolate/candy covered sunflower seeds—like mini peanut M&Ms. Dark Chocolate covered Pretzels.
Susers: no comparison to Whole Foods. In my opinion, TJ’s has a lot of good stuff, but couldn’t do all of my weekly shopping there. Fortunately, I’m close enough to the Maple Grove store, to stop quite often. Now if only we would get a Whole Foods! |

Let's see where do I start?? I love the chocolate covered nuts (especially the milk and dark covered almonds), sandwich meats, the french bread is really good -- crusty outside, fluffy inside, kalamata olives -- soooo good and not super salty, the teas are great -- I got blueberry green tea last time, ohh...there's a great selection of hummus -- including a hummus quartet: parsley scallion, roasted garlic, roasted red pepper, and regular hummus, there's an amazing variety of coffees, and the item I always buy when I go to TJ's: bite size everything crackers -- they are delicious; I eat them with hummus or cheese. Sometimes they aren't available because they're so popular. I love Trader Joe's -- it's worth the drive :)
