| - This is by far my favorite place to grab groceries in the South Hills! Sure, there are trade-offs with products and variety, but it's overall a much more pleasant place to shop than nearby competitors.
While it's smaller than the nearby Market District, it's much easier to access. Yes, the parking lot is a hot mess, so be sure to keep your wits about you before your expedition into TJs.
This Trader Joe's treads the line between having everything and not having enough. It's perfect for a quick trip for milk, produce, or other essentials, but I'd think twice before doing a massive shopping trip there. If you need to do a massive haul, or shop for more obscure ingredients, I recommend going over to the Market District. There have been trips where I ended up needing to go to both, since TJ's just doesn't have everything. But, for basics and most shopping, it'll do the trip.
On the other hand, it is so pleasant to shop there. Like every Trader Joe's, the store has a very friendly, well-trained staff. I always leave with tips to try new products, or suggested recipes for my purchase.
I also love the store brand soap and skincare line. The hand soap smells awesome, and I love the shampoo!
When I'm in the South Hills, I'll always stop by Trader Joe's. Fingers crossed someday we can get some Two Buck Chuck!
