So, let me get this out of the way first, "This place is frickin great!" I've known about Trader Joe's for years as they were all over the Chicagoland area but never started shopping there until several months ago after being in Charlotte for a little over a year.
I was going to Petco right next door to get some dog food for my little guy and remembered that I needed to buy some adult beverages for a dinner party I was going to later that evening. One of my friends told me that TJ's had a great wine selection so I decided to check it out and guess what, she wasn't lying. I'm far from being a wine connoisseur so I appreciated the little cards that described the flavors of the wine and the perfect pairing. I ended up getting 2 bottles of wine for about $12. What'd you say girl? You heard me 2 bottles, $12!
Since then TJ's has been my go to grocery store especially since their products are predominately organic and chock full of natural ingredients. Even though it's relatively small in comparison to other grocers don't let the size fool you. You can find everything you need from fresh produce, meats, frozen foods, snacks, household cleaning and hygiene products to the extensive wine selection.
Aside from everything that you can find in the store the prices are really reasonable (Dare I say... cheap?) and the staff always seems so upbeat and happy-go-lucky. I love it! Definitely drop in next time you're near a TJ's. I promise you won't be disappointed and you definitely won't walk out empty handed.
