| - Although I love TJ's, this particular store always makes me feel like I am in an episode of The Walking Dead. It's always the old people in zombie like state pushing their carts straight ahead with their eye on the prize, without regard of who is in the way. They have to get to those organic avocados, damn it! I seem to multitask dodging people and their carts, and finding the stuff that is on my grocery list. Also, since Anthem has a much older demographic, there really is no "slow" time to come and shop in peace.
I do all of my grocery shopping at TJ's for the week, when it is my week to get groceries. Boyfriend tends to stick to Fresh & Easy on his turn. I do find their red meat to be expensive, but I don't eat red meat often so it is a non issue. I love the variety of organic white meats at reasonable prices, their cage free large brown eggs, and varieties of almond milk. Oh, also, $3.99 Purple Moon wine that tastes pretty darn good! I tend to shop on the outer edges of the store, but every once in a while I will venture to their frozen food section. Their chocolate croissants are great, a lot of frozen fish at great prices, and surprisingly their tom yam soup with spinach wontons is pretty good! Their goat cheese brie is also on my list of favorites. And their garlic naan along with chicken tikka masala (outer edge area, not in frozen food area) are comparable to some of the better Indian restaurants in town.
The service is pretty good. I think the store on Sunset/Green Valley has much friendlier and personable employees. Getting out of the parking is hell with all the Buicks backing out at the same time and then chilling there until they figure out how to proceed.
