| - I enjoy grocery shopping more than anyone should. I look forward to it every week. For me its relaxing and enjoyable and my favorite part is shopping at Trader Joe's. I have SO much love for Trader Joe's. Seriously, who doesn't like great quality groceries at amazing prices? I shop here about once a week and can get 95% of my groceries here because they have everything. They have a great selection of organic produce, canned goods and specialty items. Also, their plantain chips? THE BOMB. My boyfriend and I usually open up a bag and snack while we shop, they're addicting. They have a great beer and wine selection and you can usually sample some wines for ten cents! and the prices? So cheap! Everything is super reasonable and much cheaper then shopping at other stores.
I know some people can't stand TJ's because it gets really crowded, especially on the weekends. Sometimes its a madhouse.I try to go at night during the week, but if I go during the weekend I just prepare myself for the crowd and its usually not so bad. It really helps is you make a grocery list and stay organized, so you're not wandering up and down aisles trying to find things.
The only negative thing I can say is that they do run out of things, which can be annoying. They've been out of coconut sugar, chia seeds, organic black beans and sweet potatoes....all pretty common grocery items. It's not a big deal, but it sucks that I have to go pay more for those items elsewhere when I know I could have gotten them for cheaper if TJ's had them in stock!
But really, that's a miniscule complaint. TJ's makes grocery shopping a great experience. They have awesome products at really reasonable prices and I love shopping there.
