Trader Joe's-a great alternative to Whole Foods
Wednesday, May 31, 2006
Trader Joe's is rather small for a grocery store but it has heart and depth. The focus here is on fresh healthy products for a cheap price. The alcohol section here is known for its great selection and discount prices. Fruits and vegetable are not as appealing though because most are wrapped and sometimes look very beaten up. The deli and freezer section contain a selection that includes German ham, Irish butter, and Mochi ice cream. While some household products are available, this store focuses mainly on food. Service is very helpful and efficient but it can be difficult to shop here because invariably I need something that they don't carry.
