Want a really good $3 bottle of Chardonney? Try J.W. Morris. The best cheddar cheese I've ever tasted is Cabbot Extra Sharp, and any place that sells Jarlsberg cheese for $4+, instead of $6+ (like the local supermarket prices) is your friend. They also have a good assortment of vitamins and suppliments, cereals, frozen goods, and fresh foods, and their employees are always friendly, knowledgable and helpful.

TJ's is a truly unique food store, well worth checking out. :D

i find it entertaining that it was someone who wears no socks brought up trader joes. I myself find it far too stinky in there.

I greatly prefer Mother's Market over Trader Joe's. Mother's has HUGE selection of supplements (better than any health food store I've been in), their produce is top notch and their prices (at least on supplements) are pretty good.

Trader Joe's brand stuff isn't that hot either. Trader Joe's wasabi peas SUCK. Their trail mix is decent though, but Mother's has a better selection of that kind of thing as well. I believe Mother's is only in Orange County though.

Owned :( I work there man, have a little compassion :(

Heh, I definitely agree about the wine thing (see one of my last posts). Their wine selection is supreme. I personally haven't tried their cheese but I hear it's excellent. Maybe in your area, they have more items than the ones here. The Trader Joes by me is primarily a Specialty store and doesn't have produce (except dried) and very little grocery items. If they do get bigger, WFM might have a little more competition to deal with.

I should try some of their cheese when I get back from school.
