Demonachizer posted:lol do you know much about wine? Wine having sediment isn't on its own a bad thing nor considered a fault. I know a little, but cheapo wines from Trader Joe's aren't exactly enhanced by a mouthful of poo poo. Sediment belongs in high-end wine that's aged, and even then, not everyone likes it

trader joes is great for buying cheap as poo poo spices and seasonings. their cheese selection isn't terrible but not super great. avoid their produce and meat. some of their frozen stuff is good, some not. basicially go there to buy condiments, booze, snacks and poo poo but not for actual food shopping

Yeah it's everywhere around here but then I have to remember not everyone lives in a place where you can g buy fermented turmeric soda at your local hippie grocer. Seriously gently caress that poo poo tho, fermented soda is gross and costs like 4 dollars a bottle if I ever meet this "wylie" fellow i'm gonna kick him in the taint.

TJ's is really just a really nice snack shop. As a grocery store, it's farily lovely though. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are loving amazing, their store brand verison of Oreos (Joe-Joe's) are actually better than Oreos, and the peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets (both with and without salt) are pretty loving good. It's also the only place that I've ever seen frozen gnocchi entrees, so I usually grab a couple of those too. Basically, go get your meat, produce, bread, etc. at a real grocery store, snacks at TJ's.

Cheap liquor, cheap tasty chips, cheap frozen stuff for when you're throwing a party and need snacks, tiny little stroopwafels, etc. It's the adult version of those candy shops that had barrels of neat poo poo and big metal scoops. I will argue that their bread is quality, so long as you plan on eating it the same day you buy it. Vorik posted:what is this like a hipster supermarket or something?

Trying to persuade my fiancee that we shouldn't make it our primary store b/c the things we actually eat (vegetables, fruit, meat) are more expensive and lower quality there, but she's gotta have her chocolate coated espresso beans.

The other secret is Trader Joes gets stuff from the same places as Giant or Safeway, then just rebrands it for a higher markup. On the bright side it tends to attract nice scenery.

Just here to reiterate that Trader Joe's is good, but mostly for booze, condiments, and eccentric/quirky snacks. Meat and produce I would get elsewhere.
