    I don’t understand the trader Joe’s love. It’s a grocery store with a poor selection of fruits, vegetables, and fresh meats. They have a decent wine and beer selection. It’s basically half frozen stuff, it’s maybe higher quality than other places, but it’s just frozen shit.

      It was better back in the early 2000s, in my opinion for two main reasons. First, the prices and quality were better. Second, and biggest of all, they carried a wide variety of products that had a limited presence in many American supermarkets, namely vegan/vegetarian meals, organic crap, and eclectic snacks. Most major grocers have caught up with demand and now they don’t stand out all that much.

      I was so disappointed the first time I went to Trader Joe’s. It had been so hyped up and people made it sound like a mini Jungle Jim’s. Then it opened and it was just a more expensive Aldi.

      Edited to remove a mistyped word.

        For those that don’t live near Cincinnati, Jungle Jim’s is an international grocery store that’s amazing for foodies. It’s massive, and it has everything from international meats and cheeses to alcohol to fruits to sweets to hot sauces. It’s really a unique experience when it comes to grocery shopping.

      I haven’t been to a TJs in a while, but I remember I would go there for maybe one or two specific things that I couldn’t get anywhere else. They were delicious.

      But you know what? I don’t even remember what they were anymore, that’s how important TJs is over any other grocery store.

      Fuck them for being anti union. Guess they’ll continue not getting my money.

        It wasn’t cheaper in my experience, kroger and meijer managed to be the same or cheaper on all the things I commonly bought.
