I hate to give AJs such a low rating, but get real people. Prices are twice as high as Trader Joes and Sprouts. Unfortunately, the food is not twice as good. I was hoping to pick up something for dinner from the deli today, but the food did not look good and for the price I could get a nice take-out meal at a dozen local restaurants (which is what I ended up doing).
Yes, they do carry some products that you don't find in some other stores, but that does not excuse the price gouging issue. Calling a store and its merchandise "upscale" doesn't make it so or justify these prices.
