This was my first time visiting a Trader Joe's.
The pros:
* the store had a lot of stuff I had been looking for
* a goldmine for LCHF products for those on low carb/keto diets like me
* they have biodegradable produce bags!
* produce was beautiful, with most things having traditional and organic options
* kinda like aldi, but fancier
* a great selection of affordable flowers was an unexpected but great surprise
the cons:
* The store is small so any amount of people feels like a billion.
* this felt like more of a place to buy cool snacks than actual groceries
* The store layout was somewhat confusing
* parking lot directly in front of the store was a nightmare of people trying to maneuver around eachother. park in the side by the bread company instead!!
overall, I was both simultaneously underwhelmed and overwhelmed by my first Trader Joe's experience. I wish that the store was bigger and that things were easier to find. but I found so many awesome keto-friendly snacks that I can say with certainly that I will be back.
