Trader Joe's saves my life every week! I live in NYC and between the expensive rent, subway fare hikes and being a starving artist grocery shopping time really kills me. I like to eat reasonably healthy and I love to cook but most of the time I don't have the time to do it all from scratch. I buy here a lot of the premade frozen foods as staples and also the cheese variety is good and cheap. I usually buy at least 90% of my food here. The soups that come in a reseable container are great and they have awesome appetizers that can be cooked in minutes when you have people over. And the wine shop is amazing because, I do love my wine, but can't always afford a $30 bottle. Trader Joe's offer me a reasonable facsimile. view more	Nov 8, 2011	20
Best "healthy" store EVER! Trader Joe's is my favorite health food store ever! They have awesome food from all over the world. The food tastes great and is good for you. I was beyond excited when one opened a couple of miles from me in June. We shop there all the time now because I like to feed my family good food without a lot of preservatives. view more	Nov 7, 2011	25
Wish you were closer to me! I really enjoy going to Trader Joe's stores. I wish I lived closer to one though. The closest Trader Joe's is about 45 minutes north of where I live and although that seems like a long haul I actually make a trip specifically to shop at Trader Joes at least once a month. Why you ask? Well, they have some of the best frozen food at great prices. I am a college student and I like eating food from different cultures but it's hard to justify going out to eat when I live on such a tight budget. I feel like Trader Joe's frozen meals like their Chicken Tikka Masala and their different kinds of burritos are authentic and much better than if I even tried to make it myself. Plus, if you think about it it's an even cheaper lunch than going out and spending 5-10 dollars at a fast food restaurant. The only complaint I have is that they aren't very close to where I live. Other organic/health food stores just don't compare. view more	Nov 5, 2011	14
Unique and Cheap! I love Trader Joe's because of all the interesting items you can get! Unique and flavorful, organic items and, believe it or not, my dog loves the highly-rated dog food that they have! It's a terrific place and I hope they keep spreading. Every time I serve something form there I am always asked "Where did this come from?" I am happy to say TJ's! view more	Nov 3, 2011	13
What would I do without Trader Joe's? I don't know what I would do without Trader Joe's. It is my go-to store for food that everyone in my family will eat, from produce to baked goods to their own label frozen foods. Rarely have we brought home food that no one likes. It's one of the only stores that my kids like to go shopping with me because there are always samples (and I have very picky eaters)! Some of our most favorite items in the frozen section are Penne Arrabiata (if you cook it then top it with some fresh basil you'll think you're in a great Italian restaurant!), Sweet and Sour chicken (my kids like to dip it in the sauce that comes with it and I love it because it's all chicken breast meat!), and the BEST thing about the holidays are the Candy Cane Trader Joe Joes, which are like oreo's with crushed candy cane pieces in the center filling. YUM! I will admit that the produce can be hit or miss and we have found an expired dairy product once or twice, but all of the other items make it worth double checking when you put them into your cart. view more	Nov 2, 2011	10
What's happening? I normally love Trader Joe's, but my local store has made a few changes for the worse lately. For some reason every time I go I find expired dairy products, produce that has gone bad, and items not in stock. Am I just going on a bad day? I don't really know... But the other day I visited and found at least 10 gallons of milk in stock that were past their sell-by date. I had to find an employee, who promptly removed them from display. They also recently removed the sticker and sample area from our local store. Normally there's the advertised sample, and they have a table with individual cookie or cracker samples, as well as juice samples and stickers. This was one of the major reasons my 2-year-old loves Trader Joe's so much. Now it's all gone, and he only has one sample to look forward to. Bummer! Hopefully this change doesn't stay... view more	Nov 2, 2011	14
Best Value I love trader joes and how they have their own label. Usually their trader joes brand is the name brand quality but lower in price. But not giving up that great taste, very affordable to get organic and healthy food view more	Oct 31, 2011	13
whole foods at a fair price i am so glad they brought this franchise to downtown Boston. it is very convenient and often cheaper than the major chain stores. and this is including their many organic items and locally cultivated groceries view more	Oct 31, 2011	17
My local grocer I'm currently a college student at UMass Amherst. As most people know, going to school and working a minimum wage job doesn't exactly leave you with extra money to spend in your pocket. So naturally, it would be assumed that a college student would not be able to afford to shop organic or all natural. But what I've learned over the last two years is that is completely false. We have a total of four grocery stores in the area Stop and Shop, Big Y, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's. I can honestly say that I can purchase a weeks worth of meals for significantly less than any of the other options. But I don't only shop at Trader Joe's for the prices, the food is homemade quality that I don't have time to make for myself. They specialize in pre-made frozen and fresh meals which are absolutely phenomenal. I can go in there, buy what I need and manage to always spend less than $50. If I need to buy necessities such as toilet paper and paper towels, I would go elsewhere, or anything else that is packaged in bulk. I also think that Trader Joe's is a ltitle bit behind with the gluten-free trend that has been everywhere. I'm not gluten free but I have noticed they have very limited options which is a weakness for them, and I think they would greatly improve as a store if they could cater to allergies. view more	Oct 25, 2011	17
Unique Items - fair prices Trader Joe's has been in my city for about a year now, and I was not familiar with the chain before my local store opened. I love the wide variety of grocery items and fresh fruits and vegetables! All of the food items are preservative free, but not over-priced like some specialty markets. They have a HUGE selection of wines also. A fun place to shop for your not-so-everyday groceries! view more	Oct 24, 2011	17
Trader Joe's great store I was not familiar with Trader Joe's until I moved to New England. What a neat little store. The carry very unique and tasty product. Also enjoy their season products and news letters. I am hooked on their dried mango slices and cherries very yummy and they have a great selection of dried fruits. view more	Oct 23, 2011	13
TJ's makes shopping fun! Trader Joe's is just flat-out fun! My kids love shopping there, especially my teenage daughter. There's always something new to try. Their prices amaze me, everything is so affordable. You do have to watch that you don't buy a bunch of junk food, there is plenty to be had there. If you're feeling snacky, may want to eat before going there LOL! Another thing is that products tend to come & go without warning. I've been disappointed several times that a product I loved was discontinued. Don't leave TJ's without a box of Joe-Joe's cookies! Oreo can't touch them. And holy moly, the Triple Ginger Snaps are AMAZING!!! view more	Oct 11, 2011	21
My favorite grocery store I love Trader Joe's so much and I can't imagine life without it. The prices are great and the products are amazing - very high quality, very delicious. Even the sunblock is great and at a fraction of the price elsewhere. If I started listing everything I'd loved, the screen would be full. When I run into TJs for just a few things, I run out with a cartful. I just ADORE this store. view more	Oct 9, 2011	20
High Quality and Low Prices Trader Joe's has the best food at the lowest prices. I've done the comparison against the three major grocery retailers in my area and without fail, Trader Joe's comes out the winner. I'm not talking about a few pennies. I'm talking big money. I shop once a week for my family and at Trader Joe's I save at least $25 a week. That's $100 a month or $1200 a year. I don't know about you, but that kind of savings I can't pass up. Now, don't think I'm sacrificing anything. I'm a total yuppy, foodie, and only purchase all-natural and/or organic and am still seeing the savings. Plus, there are very few products at Trader Joe's that aren't at a minimum all-natural. So, not only do they save me money, I'm getting food that is better for me and my family. view more	Oct 7, 2011	12
My children's favorite store My daughters call trader joe's their favorite store. It is the only store where they never say that they o not want to go to. They like thelittle carts, the stickers, the dragon hunt, the food and the sampling station. We shop there more than once a week and are always excited to find new products. view more	Oct 7, 2011	21
Trader Joe's I love Trader Joe's. While you won't find brand-named products here that you may find in large super stores, their organic selection is great and their brand food tastes fantastic! I always load my freezer with Trade Joe's food - especially their different Asian and Indian meals! They have an awesome selection of ethnic food, its a great place to find unique foods! view more	Oct 7, 2011	15
Love Trader Joe's I discovered Trader Joe's about a year ago- and my family could not understand why I shopped there, claiming it was more expensive. But in actuality they are much cheaper than other grocery stores in my area. It is also where my husband works so it is pretty much all we eat at home LOL view more	Oct 6, 2011	19
unique tote My mother bought me a unique tote from Trader Joe's which I always get compliments on. It looks like a red bandana. When people see that it is from Trader Joe's they always say they wish we had one in our city. I do too. The closest one is hours away. view more	Oct 4, 2011	14
Best store ever! I am simply addicted to Trader Joe's! A great place to get ready to serve meals - lunches as well as dinners. Just love their beef tacos! Nice collection of different teas, breads and different nuts-party mixes. Prices are not as high as at Whole Foods and the atmosphere is always great :) view more	Oct 1, 2011	11
Love this store! Was so glad when our town finally got a Trader Joe's. I love their inexpensive wine selection as well as all of their wonderful kid friendly, healthy snacks. My toddler especially loves the "star cookies" which are yogurt covered. We actually used these (successfully) to potty train him :) I also think the frozen fish is reasonably priced and tasty. My husband LOVES the ice cream sandwiches and I adore the chocolate croissants. view more	Sep 30, 2011	13
excellent place I love this place! I call it a healthy store. I didn?t shop there for a long time because I thought the prices would be high. Boy, was I wrong! The prices are so reasonable and the food is great ? especially the crunchy peanut butter. My kids love to go with me to and try to find the hidden turtle named Shelly. Great way to keep them occupied while I shop. view more	Sep 23, 2011	15
love this place yes this place can be a bit on the expensive side of the line of stored but they are amazing. they are the only place i can find dark chocolate covered pomegranate seeds which are like heaven. if you haven't tried them yet i recommend you going to get them they are a treat! view more	Sep 14, 2011	15
Trader Joe's Trader Joe's is an excellent place to do your grocery shopping. I am lucky because there is one conviently located near me. They have an excellent selection of groceries, their prices are reasonable and their staff are friendly and helpful. You can't go wrong with Trader Joe's view more	Sep 9, 2011	14
Trader Joe's fun to shop I love going to Trader Joe's. Unfortunately, we have to cross the border to get there, so not always convenient, but so fun when we can get there. They have a great selection of unique foods and wines. Prices are reasonable. Great stuff. Can't wait to go again soon! view more	Sep 6, 2011	11
Trader Joe's is the best I like trader joes a lot and shop at this branch often. The selection of foods and organic produce is very good and reasonably priced compared to some organic stores (" Whole pay check") The only two downsides are that the aisles are very narrow and it is easy to bump into other shoppers and also that when you find something you like it may not be there the next time you shop. They keep on changing their brands view more	Aug 30, 2011	14
Fantastic Wine Shop Trader Joe's Wines offers a fantastic selection of some not as well known vineyards. White, reds, roses, sparklings across all regions for extremely affordable prices. This is fantastic for those hosting dinner parties, etc. that would like to serve wine without breaking the bank. Great way to stock up and fill the wine rack. Works nicely for everyday dinner wines. view more	Aug 21, 2011	22
The only place to grocery shop Trader Joes is the only place I grocery shop because they quality cannot be beat. They carry foods free from hormones and their prices are so much more affordable than the big chain grocery stores. I also love their selection of organic foods! view more	Aug 13, 2011	20
Excellent Grocer Trader Joe's offers a fresh twist to the organic grocery store. While most organic grocers are outrageously priced, Trader Joe's offers great prices on their own brands as well as well known organic brands. They have a limited selection, but what they have is great. Their freezer selection is fantastic and some of the best organic foods I've tasted. view more	Aug 2, 2011	30
Trader joe's fan I have been shopping at trader joe's for years and it still is my favorite grocery store. I love the people that work there, the atmosphere, the food. My daughters would never say no to grocery shopping if I mention trader joes's. One thing I do not like about it is when they discontinue a product that I like a lot. view more	Jul 27, 2011	37
Love Trader Joes I love shopping at TJ's. It is the perfect store for me and my family. I love the peace of mind that most of their products are organic and all boast a natural quality. Their prices are very competitive and they have a great variety of low calorie meals to choose from. I had to give it 4 stars because the only problem I have with TJ's is their overuse of packaging. I would expect such a forward thinking company that encourages people to use their own bags to have less packaging on produce. Everything seems to come in a plastic wrap or container of some sort. Otherwise a great store! view more	Jul 25, 2011	28
Perfect grocery store Lots of great food at Trader Joe's. Tons of choices in organic and gluten- free varieties. I always try to try a new seasonal product while also getting some of my old favorites. I love their spicy tuna rolls with brown rice. Always delicious and affordable. view more	Jul 21, 2011	34
friendly,interesting, fun Trader Joe's is a great store if you would like to try different products at no risk. They have many unique things and you can get your money back if you try a products and just do not like it. The staff is always friendly and helpful and seem genuinely happy to be working there. Their prices on organic coffee and numerous other products cannot be beat. Many natural food stores are prohibitively expensive but Trader Joe's makes many of the products I love affordable. The carry Ezekiel Breads, Blue Diamond ALmond MIlks, organic yogurts, italian tuna etc.... Although, I find I still must read the labels and be restrict myself to succumbing to all their tempty treats, I do find soooo many great deals and great products. view more	Jul 21, 2011	32
Great Place I enjoy going to Trader Joe's and finding so many healthy options there. I have a friend that goes every week. There is always something new and different there, and the staff is helpful The only bad thing is that it's 45 min away. view more	Jul 21, 2011	21
Lunch time I worked in the same shopping center as this store and would often get my lunch there. It's a great place to get a healthy snack, and a healthy meal. I also purchase all of my water here. They have the best price. view more	Jul 21, 2011	30
Quite good We shop at trader joes once a week. I have to say, I like it sometimes but other times I really get frustrated. I like the large array of Organic options. I also dislike that you have to REALLY read the labels because a lot of the time most of the stuff in there ISN'T organic. Lately, our local trader joes hasn't had a very good amount of organic fruit and veg. Which is a shame because I hate going to whole foods (the prices are WAY too high). I hope they start to get more in!!! view more	Jul 21, 2011	32
Never knew grocery shopping could be so ... I find it interesting that even those ppl who reviewed TJs and gave only 4 stars had nothing megative to say in their reviews! This place has it all...amazing deals, natural foods, the nicest staff, and interesting choices. I hope TJs continues to grow and grow. view more	Jul 19, 2011	36
Trader Joe's the best! I shop at Trader Joe's regularly, as their products' nutrition are NOT chemically enhanced or changed. They were first to bring out the non-RBST milk products, which unfortunately my children were raised on, as we didn't know the difference at that time. We shopped there over the years, but made a big change when they were teens after the big markets went on strike, and those stores lost LOTS of customers with strikes. Another strike is scheduled sometime in the future and more customers will be attracted to Trader Joe's, which is why they can expand & building so many new stores! Other markets recognized the better products, but over charged as compared to TJ's. view more	Jul 18, 2011	32
Awesome! There was recently one built here and of course I had to go check it out. As soon as I walked in I was amazed. There was such a variety of healthy foods and they were so cheap which was a pleasant surprise! view more	Jun 27, 2011	30
Trader Joe's - More than a Market I had never been to Trader Joe's until I moved to New England and my hubby and I decided to check out the store. It is awesome lots of great and yummy products. Now we shop there several times a month to stock up on a few favorite items like their dryed fruits great selection!! view more	Jun 25, 2011	22
Trader Joe's Lover I totally love TJ!! There prices are much better than Wholefood and I love TJ brand products like unsalted almond butter, walnuts, fiber bread, whole wheat wrap, cranberries, less salt almond and cashew nuts, soups, beans, flax seed whole wheat chips.. there are so many stuffs that I love can't list them all... Just love TJ!!! view more	Jun 24, 2011	22
Love Trader Joe's We do the bulk of our shopping at Trader Joe's. They use no genetically modified foods in their store. Their prices are actually better than Walmart's! Lemons at my Walmart are 58 cents, while at Trader's, they are only 39 cents, and they are the exact same size and brand. The prepared foods at Trader's are also delicious, and my most recent test was the Maple Sandwich Cookies, which are a real treat. If you're looking for vanilla flavor, try the vanilla bean cupcakes. They are mini, but packed with real vanilla flavor! view more	Jun 23, 2011	23
East Coaster Here on the east coast too and just a fabulous store! Everyone's so friendly and their line of Trader Joe's products are exceptional (though to be fair I've had some misses) and so reasonably priced !They're always coming out with new products to keep things interesting. view more	Jun 11, 2011	37
Chocolate covered seeds This place is a good place to go if you are looking for different things all in the same type. There most delicious thing I have found there is the Chocolate Covered Pomegranate Seeds. I know they sound weird, but they are addicting and not a bad price at this store. view more	Jun 8, 2011	26
trader joe's trader joe's is te wave of the future. I love the cheap wine that puts the casual in casual drinks. trader joe's wine and goods stocks the cabinets with a variety of options that make meal and snack time fun! view more	Jun 7, 2011	28
Shredded Parmesan Cheese Like all Trader Joe's cheeses, their shredded mozzarella comes from milk free of hormones. That's more than you can say for most brands of cheese! Not only is this cheese better for you than other brands, it's also less expensive than many other brands of cheese. We use it for everything and usually go through at least one 12-oz package/week. It's great on salads, in mashed potatoes, in risotto, in lasagna, or just straight up! view more	Jun 3, 2011	31
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Trader Joe's ice cream is definitely more expensive than you'll find in the regular grocery store, but it's worth the price. You know that the milk used in this ice cream comes from cows that aren't treated with hormones, and the ice cream is incredibly rich and creamy. They don't whip this full of air like some other brands! The chocolate is a very high quality, and I always prefer flaky chocolate in mint chip ice cream rather than actual chips. And, of course, it tastes better because it's white, rather than green! view more	Jun 3, 2011	48
Organic Milk Ever since I got pregnant with my first child, I've only been drinking organic milk. Somehow during my pregnancies I developed a very specific preference for only a few brands of organic milk, and Trader Joe's is by far my favorite - reasonably priced, extremely refreshing, and delicious! Their business practices make me want to shop there all the time. view more	Jun 3, 2011	32
Love trader joe's I love shopping at trader joe's! One of the best deals there is the store brand hormone free milk. It is cheaper than getting milk with bovine hormones in it at the regular markets! People I talk to think they are expensive because they've never been but they are wrong, good deals abound! view more	Jun 2, 2011	28
