I live about a mile from a Trader Joe’s. I like it so much that over the years I have received gc as gifts from people for the store.
I think that their products are great and their prices are reasonable.

I’ve been to Trader Joe’s and love lots of their snacks. My friends swear by their frozen basil and garlic for cooking!

I have been many times to Trader Joes. I love the FRESH, ORGANIC produce, and the other great natural products. One of the things I got last time I was there was licorice — as a gift. They LOVED it. I also like their frozen dept., it’s just chock full of great items, and many of them come in “one-serving” sizes. You don’t have to buy an economy size bag/box/carton - to try any of their products!
