its cool how all the edgy posters trying to malign trader joes clearly haven't ever been to trader joes and probably don't even do their own grocery shopping. i assume they're just mad that there's no TJs in whatever lovely town they live in

trader joes is really good. they've got lots of premiunm stuff at regular grocery store prices because they're sold under the store brand unlike at whole foods

What are you talking about? Those printed borders and fonts on the plastic packages really speak to my struggle to find my inner forest-man in the midst of my mundane existence in a small city. I enjoy the experience of having nostalgic feelings for a time when I did not exist. Basically, I should kill myself and it's Trader Joes fault.

Trader Joes is bags, boxes, and cans of pre-made meals and "appetizers" or junk food. Learn how to cook, dude.

trader joes also has a lot of quality frozen seafood that's frozen in individual servings, like 8oz salmon fillets, which is great if you cook for yourself

i know other stores have this stuff too but for what you'll pay for a pack of russian-caught chinese-packed salmon fillets at farm fresh you can get american wild-caught and packed fillets at TJs that will taste much better

It still counts as cooking if you open a box of Uncle Ben's One Minute Rice and eat it raw because it cooks itself in your intestines.

that hummus is really good. most of their hummus is good + cheap but that's my preferred one.

and goons are just bad and hate everything. god forbid you actually shop at different places for different things, that's outrageous!
