Well I'm sure Costco goers also are Joe goers, not all Joe goers are Costco goers and vice versa. Therefore why can't we have a trader Joe's mega thread in the same forum that we have a Costco threat. Without offending the 'Sco goers in the Joe thread let's talk about how great Joe's is.


I personally like to go to Joe's for my groceries and Costco for my business. Joe's is fairly good in terms of prices and things I want.

Joe's has been my grocery if choice post pandemic where I solely shopped at Whole Foods, but have since become a Joe Goer.

I'd love to hear your feedback on Joe.

Start out with some tortilla chips and elote dip


Have some enchiladas (better if you add some extra verde salsa and cheese)



The salsa Verde enchilada is my wife's favorite Monday lunch. We buy it weekly. It's super tasty and can be split in half.

Sometimes I feel like everyone is amped up inside the trader Joe's especially if you take a little too long.

When visiting NYC went to a Trader Joe’s for snacks and was concerned by the long line, but it moved surprisingly fast as they had like 22 checkout lines going. I like their hold the cone ice creams, especially the pumpkin ones.

Interesting Costco/Trader Joes alliance, in 2011 when WA state had a ballot measure to allow grocery stores to sell liquor, Costco was the biggest supporting donor and Trader Joe’s was second. Nearly $21 million to $50k, but still.

I like that the uncle Joe's has baggers. Safeway always had no baggers and it's kind of annoying to bag groceries. Not because I'm lazy but because I don't do a good job at it lol

The Joe's samplers are real nice. I was given apple pie by a lovely trader Joe's crew member who talked me up about hiking.

Trader Joe’s discontinues too many items and has too many that are only around for a limited time.

I get they have limited shelf space and each product is evaluated on turns and revenue but I hate when things just disappear.

Hell I think those dumplings are one of the longest lasting items and a founding father by this point.

I was JUST starting to enjoy the horseradish chips. They were A

Just got back from a trip to Joe's, and his parking lot was overwhelmingly a loving nightmare as it usually is... but for some reason the store wasn't crowded. I don't know how that works out. Circled around 3 times, found no parking, drove down the road to a pay lot only to find out it was free for the holidays. Of course! Still had to shlep down the road with a shopping cart of groceries bouncing all over, in below freezing weather, but things could be worse.

At least Peppermint Hold the Cone's are back in stock, made my trip slightly less annoying.
