trader joes

yo i'm eating some chidori fortune style cookies, this shit is the shit. you can get like two weeks worth of food for 50 bucks at trader joes. if you have one nearby you should peep it out. it's not a hippie store.

...I wish I lived near a place with actual culture and history...I live around big business. Blech...

hehe... nuts

My cousin in Ohio is a manager of a Trader Joes, and he is a hippy

And his name is Joe

well trader joe's isn't just a hippie store. they have great food. i love that place. makes me look like a gourmet chef

i *heart* trader joe's in a serious way. i like that you can get whole/organic foods for less than they cost at the regular grocery stores or most natural food stores.

oh god, i love the cheese!

Best almonds around.

trader joe's in silverlake (l.a.) is always full of attractive girls.. and wine.

i'm to the one in Hewlett tomorrow!!!

i just meant that it's not like one of those health food stores that smells like petchouli and sells only rice cakes and granola bars. people seem to get that impression before they go.
and yeah there are always hot girls there, working and shopping.

I used to work for Whole Foods.. and they're scared shitless by Trader Joes. Because Trader Joes only carries about 1/4 the product mix of Whole Foods... but they sell at least half of those items at lower prices.. they have a really good distribution system and get great buys which sends the savings on to the consumer.

There isn't one by my house.. But there is and Aldi's.. which is a giant German supermarket chain.. and Aldi's owns Trader Joes..

so anyhoo.. Trader Joes Rocks.. Whole Foods and Wild Oats fear the Joe.. but they're ok too.. if you need more hippie stuff

I baught my house based on its proxcimity to TJ's. The have the best popcycles in town. And 3 different ginger ales. Oh life without TJ's would not taiste as good!

I go there for the chocolate pudding -- the only thing that could make me get near that fucked up parking lot.

I love trader joes! If I were whole foods (or safeway) I'd be scared shitless too. Trader joes has better quality everything.

Actually.. the quality of the food at TJ's is the exact same.. they sell the same products.. it's the prices that are better at TJ's.. TJ's private label foods are made by the same group that makes most of the private label foods for whole foods and wild oats.. How many giant "natural" soda manufacturers do you think there are? It's about your preception of which is better..


just an observation

I feel you...

excellent selection
excellent quality
excellent prices
try the FRESH orange juice,excellent!!!!

it's true the trader joe's in westwood has the shittiest parking lot.

i love their cookies

Shit, if I want to go to Trader Joe's, I have to go all the way up to Mountain View to get there.

I stick to Whole Foods. It's closer.

I used to buy my Kasi Go Lean and Optimum Blueberry cereal, mac and cheese, some vitamins, and the occasional delecious dry fruit selection there. Outstanding prices, too. They didn't have one in Champaign, IL, so I was shit out of luck for two years. However, I recently moved back to Oregon and have been reintroduced to seventh heaven.

my trader joe breads always go moldy - even from the three different joes i go to.... i cant eat bread quick enough to make it worth buying there

i love the store and go probably 2-3 x a month, but its just not practical for me to get everything there.... i do eat much healthier the weeks i go there
