Everyone loves Trader Joe's. And if you don't, there is something wrong with you. How a larger chain grocery store manages to keep a local vibe is beyond me. Good for you TJ.
I was especially excited for my move to AZ knowing there's a Trader Joe's there. Utah doesn't carry them but from what I hear, that's about to change. Now, I am 5 minutes from TJ and I love it. The produce is always fresh and holy CHEAP! Asian Pears for 99 cents a piece?! I'll take a whole cartload please. I can't believe how amazing the produce quality is along with the amazing prices. Two Asian Pears at Whole Foods would have cost me my first born and my left foot.
What I love more than anything about Trader Joe's is that they carry things you would never ever ever find at an ordinary grocery store. I HATE shopping at Fry's or anywhere comparable to Fry's because... "Why?..." I think to myself. The quality of selection, produce, price point and lets mention their ALWAYS upbeat employees puts Trader Joe's at the top of my list.
I heart you Trader Joe's and I'm glad you're right up the street from me.
