| - 22 Reasons to shop at Trader Joe's
22. The staff are friendly and awesome, and they pop up everywhere just when you forgot the Alfredo sauce was located on the very bottom shelf in the pasta isle.
21. Its cheeeeeeeeerrrp cheap, on most items including produce yes if you lack cooking creativity and buy all processed foods then it costs more but on average their prices rule.
20. They hand out free samples, blueberry coated goat cheese load me up!
19. They have Hatch Green peppers (canned) but ok do you know the fame of this pepper no? Well they are the marlon brando of peppers and they are the bomb google it. And I challenge you to find them anywhere else in this city or east of the Mississippi for that matter.
18. Backpack and hiker food galore, screw those prepackaged military gross meals plan your own and buy them here., Hint canned fish and the dry snacks aisle.
17. Eggs and Milk at normal prices, yes in other states Milk is not a full 4$ a gallon, and you can get a dozen eggs for under 2$.
16. The premade fresh Salmon, sour cream and dill wrap just try it and trust me.
15. The mushroom frozen tarte, yes its a little pricey but again trust me.
14. Organic meats and really good chicken sausages at reasonable prices.
13. Some of the staff are wearing hawaiin shirts, what its raining outside? I didn't notice.
12. In the spring look for awesome citrus selections I think tried something called Pomellos? Or something to that affect and I think shortly after I drifted into a citrus juice stained coma of bliss.
11. Cheap fresh herbs......... you cook right? Nuff said.
10. That cute mural on the wall of Pittsburgh bridges and things when you leave, yea I know driving through the squirrel hill tunnel sucks but is that mural makes your Pittsburgh pride filled heart flutter admit it.
9. Its clean the bathrooms are always clean and fresh, there are cart wipes if you want them.
8. Energy bars!!! Why I can I not stop in a giant eagle and buy a Cliff bar? Why do I have to settle for a shitty bag of chips in the middle of my stressful workday.
7. Frozen tamale, burrito and enchiladas for 1.99-2.99 each cheap work lunches score.
6. Frozen Kale, yes I am the cliché white person with a college degree who eats Kale deal with it.
5. IT is close to target, the wine and spirits shop and a petsmart, even kinda close to Costco for me.
4. Really Yummy pasta sauces, haven't tried one there I have not liked but the alfredo and creamy tomato basil are near the top of my list.
3. Splurge on an orchid for yourself or your lady be trendy they're like 4.99 here. Ok maybe 8 but still.
2. I think they would sell you booze if they could, I think they sell it in other states. whose liquor laws have progressed past Benjamin Franklin's golden years.
1. The Naan bread, Colombian instant coffee and Belgian caramel choc in at the checkout ok that's more than one but I had to summarize.
Do be prepared for tight tiny spaces and lots of shoppers people love their TJ's but also be prepared for a sort of altruistic shopper friendly vibe. Bag your own groceries it makes things go faster.
