AshleyApril 21, 2013Don't even try it on a Sunday, I made the 50 minute drive and didn't get half of what I went for. Great prices and awesome food! Worth the drive on a weekday.Upvote8Downvote
They must pipe something into the air here to make all of the staff so happy. Either way, it makes for a great shopping experience. Head to the back for free samples.Upvote4Downvote- I really like this store but be careful with the prepared salads to-go, I purchased one today good by 3 days from now but opened it at home to discover dark green rotting, slimy greens at the bottom.Upvote2Downvote
Extensive wine, alcohol, cheese, and bread selection. Mostly stocks frozen and prepared foods. Only one aisle for fresh foods. Bananas are always good here.Upvote1Downvote
Marija NaumoskiJuly 17, 2015Great customer service, fresh flowers and coffee. Seriously good and wholesome food! It's the only place where you can buy a gallon of milk (no hormones) for 2.89!!!UpvoteDownvote
The parking lot and inside the store is crazy busy, but the great folks working here make it worth the trip. Love Trader Joe's.UpvoteDownvote
Don’t forget to bring your own bags! You can buy reuseable bags for $1-$5 depending upon the size. Flowers are also cheap and great quality!UpvoteDownvote
Liz HJune 15, 2014Wish I had read all the tips about not going on a Sunday...it's pure madness, I suggest you make a list and get in and out as fast as possibleUpvoteDownvote
KitchenKonfidence.comJanuary 17, 2011One word: Nuts. Such a wide variety of nuts & trail mixes. Grab several bags of your favorite nuts. You'll need around 1 lb to make these Rosemary Spiced Nuts. Get the recipe on kitchenkonfidence.com.

If you're gonna come on the weekend, I recommend getting here between 8:00 and 9:00 am. They won't sell you alcohol till after 9:00 though, state law!UpvoteDownvote
I made this dish with a combination of ingredients. Griggstown Quail Farm chicken. Veggies from TJ cooked with TJ coconut oil.

JT HoldermanNovember 6, 2010Cheaper and healthier than most major chain grocery stores. Plus it all tastes great. Get the chocolate croissants and orange chicken. Avoid on weekends after 10am...it is chaos...Upvote3Downvote
JanieHDecember 27, 2010Best selection of reasonably priced wine in the area. The Winter Blend of Coffee is the bomb. Pumpkin Pancake mix rocks. Love me som TJ's.Upvote1Downvote
A smaller, inexpensive Whole Foods. Great unique items, just avoid the weekends when the cashier lines go back to the back of the store and pushy customers.Upvote1Downvote- Sean GrathwolApril 11, 2015Always updating menu for the month. Love there food and healthy optionsUpvoteDownvote
Lots of gluten free choices. Just wish there were more desserts that were gluten and dairy free.Upvote1Downvote
TanyaDecember 4, 2012Wine & beer. More spacious than other locations. And also, wine & beer.Upvote2Downvote
GREAT wine and beer prices. Just be prepared to be bowled over in there, by all the shoppers!!UpvoteDownvote
Alex LJune 1, 2013Yes, they sell Charles Shaw wine a/k/a Two Buck Chuck, all varieties. (6/1/2013)UpvoteDownvote
Jaynee PallayMay 27, 2012I was very surprised that their $3 bottles of wine were surprisingly good. Variety great. Bought as joke but joke was on me. Bought again.UpvoteDownvote
Susan RobertsonApril 25, 2012The only grocery store that sells wine in the whole county! Cheaper foods than Wholefoods!Upvote8Downvote- Also, park a little further away from the store. Parking lot right in front of the store is CrAzY!!!!UpvoteDownvote
- There's a reason the Orange Chicken is the #1 seller. It's me. (Seriously, there are at least three bags in my freezer at all times.)Upvote1Downvote
Love their veggies. Shop right for less than $25!UpvoteDownvote
