Like most stores, Trader Joe's has some good deals to get you in the door, and some bad deals to take your money. As noted, the produce is terrible. But their frozen vegetables (like leeks) are great. You just shop at a combo of stores and buy the best deals at each (adjusting for quality). e.g. Trader Joe's for cheese and frozen berries Winco for spices and bulk oatmeal Fred Meyer for saltines Safeway for meat Costco for potatoes

JnnyThndrs posted:I might be a spendthrift here, but I'm not going all the way to another store for saltine crackers. What are they, 15cents cheaper than Winco? The joke is that I don't buy saltines at some fancy-rear end normal store, I'll buy them at the weird food dump stores because saltines last forever so you stock up when you see 'em there. You can get your grocery bill to practically nothing if you're clever. Or if you're like me, you have a normal grocery bill because it's 75% cheap whatever poo poo, and 25% the finest of preserved crinoline onions because  crinoline onions!

I live really close to a Costco now, so I sometimes stop by and get their caesar salad for dinner when I'm lazy.

It requires a big picture view, which no, most people do not seem to have Unlike a fair number of people in this thread, I often go to Costco and do not purchase anything in the store. I'll only buy something if they have what I want. However, I will usually get a nonfat yogurt on my way out, which makes me feel like it wasn't a complete waste of my time. Without that, I'm just going there and leaving without buying anything and then I just feel kind of pissed off

I was actually pretty close to dropping the whole exercise because on my way out from an unsuccessful excursion, I tried to get a nonfat yogurt, and I was standing there for close to 10 minutes because they were busy and they had to refill the machine or whatever. I ended up crumbling up my receipt and throwing it in the trash.

To help contextualize a bit, I live about three minutes away from one, so that part is not very difficult. Also I am a very frustrating customer, in that even if I go to buy something and it turns out the price has since increased, I'll just turn around and leave. Also if the line is too long, I'll go put my stuff back and leave.

olive oil I don't understand. Oil is flavorless. I've never been able to taste an oil. So what matters about oil other than its smoke point or w/e?

I don't eat fast food, if anything because I can't taste oil. I barely use any oils when I cook because they're calories without flavor, except butter does have a flavor. But saying avocado oil has flavor is just bizarre, avocado itself has no flavor so why would the oil have flavor? Where would it come from?

Store-bought grapes don't really have any flavor either, so to you, is an avocado like a big oily grape?
