    Love the pre-made salads and wraps, and I dig on the TJ-branded beer! Parking lot is a damn nightmare in high-traffic areas. Might be better to park a little further out, spare yourself the headache.

    If you go on the weekends get there early so you don't have to fight for a parking spot. Can't beat $2.50 wine, also love the mac and cheese balls, frozen spinach and artichoke dip, Pico di gallo

    Nice selection of fresh fruit and (sometimes) healthy snacks, as well the not-to-be-missed frozen section for easy meals and desserts.

    The ready to eat stuff is great. Try the Indian ready to eats. The Mochi Japanese ice cream is a delight

    Check out the 360-degree painting across the wall depicting an aerial view of what you'd see looking in that direction from this central store, e.g. Santa Cruz Mtns, Alum Rock, SJC airport, & downtown

    The peppercorn pork tenderloin from the refrigerated section is delish! Also, the beet salad is great for a quick, healthy lunch.

    Charlee Bear doggy treats are WAY cheaper here than at Petsmart or Petco. Score!

    The ultimate place to shop when you need to buy the necessities on a budget and have it still be healthy and fresh.

    They never have spinach. It's a tragedy.

    It's always a zoo in here. Lots of rude jerks who will run you down with their shopping carts.
