I wouldn't normally shop at Trader Joe's because the higher prices scare me, but I had a $25 gift card as a thank you from a pet sitting client. This TJ was easy to find, located on the Northwest corner of Shea and Tatum, but parking was insane. Car were stopped in the middle of the lot waiting for other cars to exit their parking spot, blocking all through traffic. So annoying!!
I shopped around for things I wouldn't normally buy at those higher prices and ended up with a container of 70 gummy multivitamins for nearly the same price I normally buy 150 at Target. I also got a guacamole dip mix ingredients in a cute little mesh bag, a bag of artichokes, and some multigrain nut bars. The store was clean, but that's to be expected in a grocery store.
I had to wait in my car for cars to park and pass before I could get out of my parking space and the lot. I don' know how frequent shoppers put up with the poor parking situation. I know I wouldn't.
