Don't even try it on a Sunday, I made the 50 minute drive and didn't get half of what I went for. Great prices and awesome food! Worth the drive on a weekday.

Julie

They must pipe something into the air here to make all of the staff so happy. Either way, it makes for a great shopping experience. Head to the back for free samples .

Lance Lacoff

I really like this store but be careful with the prepared salads to-go, I purchased one today good by 3 days from now but opened it at home to discover dark green rotting, slimy greens at the bottom.

Jasmine 💫

Extensive wine , alcohol , cheese , and bread selection . Mostly stocks frozen and prepared foods. Only one aisle for fresh foods . Bananas are always good here.

Marija Naumoski

Great customer service, fresh flowers and coffee . Seriously good and wholesome food! It's the only place where you can buy a gallon of milk (no hormones) for 2.89!!!

Jennifer Miller

The parking lot and inside the store is crazy busy, but the great folks working here make it worth the trip. Love Trader Joe's.

Allie Jones

Don’t forget to bring your own bags! You can buy reuseable bags for $1-$5 depending upon the size. Flowers are also cheap and great quality!

Liz H

Wish I had read all the tips about not going on a Sunday...it's pure madness , I suggest you make a list and get in and out as fast as possible

One word: Nuts . Such a wide variety of nuts & trail mixes . Grab several bags of your favorite nuts . You'll need around 1 lb to make these Rosemary Spiced Nuts . Get the recipe on kitchenkonfidence.com.

If you're gonna come on the weekend, I recommend getting here between 8:00 and 9:00 am. They won't sell you alcohol till after 9:00 though, state law!

Chuck McEnroe

I made this dish with a combination of ingredients. Griggstown Quail Farm chicken . Veggies from TJ cooked with TJ coconut oil .

Lance Lacoff

Green tea / green tea + lemonade in the summer. Free samples of coffee usually back right side of store

Daniel W

Get the sparkling water, cheap , tasty and not bad for you

JT Holderman

Cheaper and healthier than most major chain grocery stores . Plus it all tastes great. Get the chocolate croissants and orange chicken . Avoid on weekends after 10am...it is chaos...

JanieH

Best selection of reasonably priced wine in the area. The Winter Blend of Coffee is the bomb. Pumpkin Pancake mix rocks. Love me som TJ's.

Erin J

A smaller, inexpensive Whole Foods. Great unique items , just avoid the weekends when the cashier lines go back to the back of the store and pushy customers.

Sean Grathwol

I was very surprised that their $3 bottles of wine were surprisingly good. Variety great. Bought as joke but joke was on me. Bought again.

Susan Robertson

The only grocery store that sells wine in the whole county ! Cheaper foods than Wholefoods!

Also, park a little further away from the store. Parking lot right in front of the store is CrAzY!!!!

There's a reason the Orange Chicken is the #1 seller. It's me. (Seriously, there are at least three bags in my freezer at all times.)
