| - I recently moved to Pittsburgh and this is the first city I have lived in where I had an accessible Trader Joe's.
I have had a hard time finding a good reason to frequent the place. They have decent (although not unbeatable) prices on organic staples (Eggs, Milk, Cheese, Butter, Yogurt, etc). Dry good (Flour, Oats, Beans, Spices etc) selection is poor and I am kind of miffed as to why they don't try going the bulk route with dry goods. Produce is seasonal (they don't have everything all the time) but the prices are good. They do, however, have an excellent dried fruits and nuts section.
That said, others might find a couple key/quirky items here that they find they can't live without. I don't quite work that way and I don't eat many frozen foods, so I find myself here from time to time but more often at Giant Eagle Market District, Whole Foods or in the Strip.
