I really like Trader Joe's for a number of reasons. It's clean, has a helpful and friendly staff and has an array of great specialty items. If you're looking for black bean pasta or fresh cauliflower rice, they've got you. We all know the addiction of cookie butter and the sweet treat aisle.
The only thing I think they're missing is more of a basic selection. When I go to TJ's, I know it's not going to be my only grocery store stop. I'll need to head somewhere else for some basic items. It's not a big deal, but it would be nice if they were slightly bigger and had more selection. I honestly think if that were the case, I'd absolutely love it here. Especially considering it's half the cost of a lot of the regular grocery stores.
For now, I'll keep on buying my frozen zoodles and gluten free puffs and wait for the big expansion to happen (if that ever happens!).
