Trader Joe's

So friendly and kind. It's always a treat to do my grocery shopping here.

Try the TJ-brand sparkling mineral water, its great! Crystal Geyser makes it for TJ, but its 99¢ instead of the circa $1.50 it would be if it had Crystal Geyser's name on it.

Employees are always nice and have great food suggestions. I love shopping here because it's always a fast transaction.

A lot of people talk about TJs being great for budget wines , but it's seldom mentioned how good their coffee is. Especially their French Roast...always super fresh and oily beans.

Trader Joe is great but rivals like Trader Jose and Trader Giotto often. sneak their products on the shelves at competitive prices.

Want the best wine deals or good advice? Ask to speak to their wine guy. You'll get loads of great advice. TJ is best for cheap quality wines .

Check behind perishable items at the front of shelves to score items that won't go bad this week.

Grab frozen mahi , flour tortillas , shredded cabbage & mexican cheese . squeeze lemon in tartar sauce , ya got awesome fish tacos . Defrost before you cook the fish ;(

Gotta try the Harvest Grains Blend (couscous , quinoa , orzo , garbanzo beans )

Help your kids spot the gnome and they can make a trip to the treasure box. It moves frequently so keep those eyes peeled.

Fresh produce , great variety, and prices.

You can't actually trade for anything here. I tried!

They charged me the wrong price and changed it when I pointed it out, great place!

Try the Joe blend of their coffee , cheap , but oh so delicious!

The butternut squash "triangloli" are so creamy and delicious :)

The orange chicken is the bomb

Shop an hour before closing for a mostly empty store. Otherwise it's kind of a madhouse in here.

Canned coconut milk is pretty dang cheap here.

Mmmmm samples

Keep an eye out for the gnome .

Great products at great prices.

The parking lot is tiny, but there's plenty of street parking nearby.

Get some bananas here. They're so much cheaper here than anywhere else.

"Oh gnome you didn't." Can you find the hidden gnome ?

It's gnometastic

The craziest most fun parking lot in Portland. Find a spot and stay in your car, then watch the fun!

grabbed groceries

There's something about all Trader Joes... I constantly feel like I'm in everyones way and everyone is in my way.

Ample Parking .
