I am a self proclaimed "Trader Joe Hoe" lol. I don't care what anyone says, Trader Joes is the BEST grocery store EVER. The Arrowhead location is one of the best, I don't see why people are bitching about it. I shop at this location on a weekly basis and sure, sometimes it's a bit crowded but it's nothing unusual from Walmart, Fry's ect. I've been a Trader Joeaholic since my days in Los Angeles. The store locations are very limited in Phoenix, but I'm just so grateful they even have stores out here! Trader Joes carries so many foodie friendly products, no other grocery store can compare. A few of my top TJ products are..
Trader Joes Meditteranian Hummus
Trader Joes Dolmas (they even beat restaurant dolmas!!)
Trader Joes Guacamole
Trader Joes Dark Chocolate Covered Cranberries
And the list can go on and on. Trader Joes carries a lot of vegetarian products as well which is pretty nice. And for everyone taking stars away from this remarkable place due to the fact that it's not near or in your darn backyard, go take a hike to the nearest preservative packed Walmart and load up on pork grinds or something sheesh.. Trader Joes also has a raffle if you bring a reuseable bag when you shop. They always have had many lanes open when I go and the wait is never long enough for me to remember it being long. The cashiers are always really friendly. I love Trader Joes!! Always and forever!! 5 stars baby!! :)
