For grocery, unitl recently, I would always go to Safeway, PW,Lucky...and Costco. But what Trader Joe's offers is "satisfaction". It's pretty much the best grocery store. The food items are awesome and at very fair prices...you can say..low prices. There are loads of great food items that are definitely worth buying. the organic foods, gourmet foods, vegetarian food, exceptional awesome frozen foods and other food items like bread, cereal, eggs, tea, coffee. At the poultry section you will find the best and at the very low prices. The beverage section has the best domestic and imported wine (including two bucks - Charles Shaw Wine and beer collection. This store also has otehr products - spa and aromatherapy, candles, household cleaners, vitamins, pet food, plants and beautiful flowers. the cactus collection is just brilliant at best prices. From a mere grocery shopper at Trader Joe's ...I have become a complete household shopper.

now lets see what I buy at Trader's Joe and I hope this list helps you in your shopping: the Trader Joe private label items-"such as Trader Jose's (Mexican food), Trader Ming's (Asian food), Baker Josef's (bagels), Trader Giotto's (Italian food), Trader Joe-San (Japanese food), Arabian Joe's (Middle Eastern food), JosephBrau (beer), Trader Johann's lip balms, Trader Jacque's (imported French soaps), Joe's Diner (certain frozen entrees), Joe's Kids (children's food), and Trader Darwin's vitamins(source- wikipedia.org)

I love the lip balm, the Veg California rolls, the fat free yoghurt, frozen entrees - potstickers, veg rolls, spinach pancakes, samosas...the list goes on and on. The poultry selection is just perfect for me - the price and the quality...it's just awesome. Other products that are in my favourite list are - iced tea, the green tea, lime and chilly mixed nuts, dired plums, raisins, dried fruit, salmon, trukey and not to forget the whole array of bread choices. Many of the products are environmentally friendly and organically grown...that ensures good health. now they have recently introduced trader joe's flour in their product lines. What we get in Trader Joe's are quality authentic organic products that are not imported from China.

Trader Joe's customer service and staff have a pleasant demeanour. any help you need..they are there for you.

The interior of every Trader Joe is very at ease and organized. The interior of the Union Square, Manhattan store is just gorgeous.

wish you all the best in your buy...if you need any inputs shoot me an email ASAP.
