Trader Joe’s vs traditional grocery stores
I think the facts that the food quality seems to be better than Kroger. And I find it to be cheaper. Definitely a better experience all around

They have a big selection, good produce and it's actually fun to shop there. I love the employees. It's a good and positive feeling inside.

I buy flowers and food at Trader Joe’s every week. Some weeks I buy flowers more than once because I give away flower arrangements. The flower selection is extensive and the prices are great. They even provide buckets & water if you forget yours. I love all of the organic food options at reasonable prices at Trader Joe’s.We love the organic fruit, vegetables, bread, milk, cheese, chips and much, much more. The employees are very helpful, too. So glad they decided to build in our town.

Always great staff, great food. I love that I can find what I need for a small number of people easily. I wish they were closer to where I live.

It's not easy living with a Truffle Freak! Fortunately, Trader Joe's offers various truffle products on a seasonal basis. Today, I spoke with Julian, at their Somerville, MA location. He could not have been any friendlier and helpful by searching to see if any truffle products were currently available. Unfortunately, none were available. However, Julian took it a step further, and Investigated when truffle products would be arriving. I certainly hope, the Captain at this store location fully realizes what a valuable asset they have in Julian.

We love this store! Best little grocery store around. And you can find organic things cheaper.

While traveling (mostly east coast) Trader Joes never disappoints (almost lol) Friendliest store ever , love the cheese section and most of all that I doesnt cost me an arm and a leg to shop there. They could have better coffee beans and disclose where certain branded items come from. Anyway: live the seasonal stuff like mushroom cream and the ice cream
