Tj's not only has great prices but they cary a wide variety of things you can't find at a regular grocery store. The people who work there are always friendly and seem very knowledgeable. They also have samples you can try.

If you are looking for unusual items and organic items, this is the store for you. Prices are quite high but you are unlikely to find the same items elsewhere. Their selection is above average.

Trader Joe's is the best. They have fresh food made up and then placed in packages for reheating. They also have a first rate selection of imported beers and wines--at a great price. This store is one of the best in the chain because the aisles are wide. You can easily shop and read labels while others can take their baskets around you, without requiring you to move into a corner to browse the shelves. The parking is also the best with a large lot for hundreds of cars. The store is open late into the evening and always has the advertised specials.

Trader Joe's is definitely the place to shop at. I am Italian and I alwys found difficult to find a place where food tastes great and the price are cheap. Well this is the store for those who are like me looking for good food and spend less money then any other grocery store.
The cheese selection is my favourite, with the varieties of every european cheese you can dream of. the wines are another excellent reason to herad to this store, and the prices are very convenient. The best thing of all is that almost everythings is no preservatives or colors added!

I like this location of TJ better than the one at UCI Marketplace (parking is less of a hassle). Trader Joe's has a great selection of interesting foods, either fresh produce, a small selection of meats and seafood, and fresh and frozen prepared foods. I don't know how I lived without TJ before. Some of their products are hit or miss. Some of my faves are the almond cluster/cranberry cereal, the beef tamales, any of their desserts, most of their teas, avocados....the list is pretty long actually. I also like that their checkout aisles are named after tropical islands.
