Shopping at AJ's lets me keep shopping local when I need more high-end stuff. I admittedly don't come here that often, mainly to pick up meat or seafood because their selection is pretty good. They also have a very nice deli section and they have a small but nice selection of wines. Until Total Wine came along, it was the only place I could get my much-coveted South African wine.
It's not practical for me to buy much more here because I can get most things at other Arizona business for less but when I need fancy stuff for a dinner party or other special occasions, AJ's is where you'll find me.
