Trader Joes

Okay, don't laugh... :confused: There is one right by my house, and everyone talks so highly of it. I hever been inside, I assumed it was all organic foods... Can someone please tell me what it is, or should I drag the kids in and experience it for myself.

Hi Mandysue,

I shop at the Florham Park TJs on occasion! We make the drive from Somerset once every few months to stock our pantry and freezer. They do have organic foods, but so much more, too!

Here is a link to their current flyer for the Northeast so you can see some of the product descriptions: Fearless Flyer (http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless/NE.pdf)

And here is a link to one of many threads on the Great Food board where people have discussed their favorite Trader Joe's products.

Top 10 Trader Joe's products (http://community.cookinglight.com/showthread.php?t=87830&highlight=trader+joes)

It's definitely worth a stop just to explore! Enjoy!

I go there just to buy DH's cereal! It's 4.59 a box at stop & shop and 2.69 at TJ's!!!

I shop there because of a wide variety of foods and products and good prices. E.g. Crystal Geyser sparkling water is 89 cents compared with $1.19 at other stores in town. They carry products you might not find at your ordinary grocery store, like panko bread crumbs (at least the regular stores in my area don't carry those). They are also famous for having a good wine selection and their own brands of wine. 2 buck Chuck is well known among TJ fans. TJs has a lot of "store" brands which are high quality and lower in price than name brands you will find in other stores. Besides, if for no other reason, go just to say you've been. It is an experience.

Go right away!! I also had one near me, and didn't go because I thought it would be just strange Caribbean food or something.. Two people at work suggested it, and we went. Once we went we were hooked- unique, fun items, and healthy items too! Here's the sad part... About a year later we moved, and there is no Trader Joe's here. We sure miss it!!!!

Ok, I just spent a half hour on their website... Now I have to go. Maybe, I will go over the weekend. Thanks everyone!!
