Overall, I'd tend to choose Trader Joes over F/E. In most cases the food tastes better. That and F/E sells some of the same stuff as Safeway for more.
F/E is supposed to be a healthy affordable store. Milk isn't healthy (and it's in too many of their products that don't need it -- fail for someone lactose intolerant), and the prices on some of your the meals here are just slightly lower than going to a restaurant for better food.
If they would price match and produced better food without lactose all over the place, I'd give this place a better rating. Otherwise, it's just a place to go if I'm in the area or the rest of the places are closed.
