Trader Joe's??? That's for rich people 🙂

I shop at Albertson's. That's where the hot moms shop and the cute girls work 😉

But when the new Food4Less opens, I'm there!

In SC it's Piggly Wiggly, Winn Dixie, Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Super Wal Mart, Aldis.

For rich people - NONsense!

There is awesome value there if you want more than refined foods and sugar and grease-loaded foods. 😛

And their own products in their label are quite competitive with supermarkets - only with higher quality (IMO). And I do pay a premium for organics and freshness.

Give the kid a break. He's probably has never been to a Trader Joe's. 🙂 A lot of people don't realize that Trader Joe's prices on things like olive oil, cheese and seafood are actually better than the chain supermarkets.
 
Thanks for the support on Trader Joes.

It has the most loyal shoppers anywhere and it is expanding rapidly. (Has it got out of Cali yet?)

If you shop at a "natural" foods store, Trader Joes is about 40% cheaper for similar goods.

There's a Trader Joe's in Portland, Oregon. Tthe only one I know outside of California. When I was doing my residency at OHSU, going to Trader Joe's was like coming home. It was like a piece of California in very rainy Oregon. That year was the El Nino year, too. Brutal.

NOOO!! Trader Joe's = Whole Food's sworn enemy!!!

Ok, they have a better wine/cheese selection but we have mad produce and everything else 😎

That's just here in the NW Chicago suburbs though. I'm not sure how it is everywhere else. WFM Represent!

Krogers, because HEB doesn't double or triple coupons 🙁
