I don’t get the TJ cult following but if I go, I have to get some wine.
My fave at any grocery store is cheese, bread and the butcher. TJ has no fresh cheese or butcher soooooo, for that I’m out

I get the Charles Shaw wine. My wife drinks a bottle of that a night so it's a good option since it's like $3.

You're right though, you can't only shop there. And the people who shop there are normally yuppies who are selfish and will clog up the tiny aisles

I used to buy wine at TJ's until I quit drinking. Now it's only cat food.

And yeah, there's those weirdo's who park/abandon their carts in the middle of an aisle so no one else can get by. I don't think they do it on purpose; they're just clueless.

I get frustrated that they don't have lots of stuff that would be on a typical grocerylist.

I haven't shopped at Trader Joe's in years, that being said, I do remember they had these delicious Chocolate covered Potato Chips.

Your wife might have a drinking problem. Lol. That's 5 glasses a night.

Jarlsberg cheese and chunky almond butter. And Lacey's cookies repackaged from Humboldt County. I think the bagel topping is repackaged from Humboldt County as well?

I went once and walked out. Seemed like a circus in there. I actually like the Walmart Neighborhood Market.

They have some pretty good trail mixes, lots of different mixes and choices. Salmon fillets are really good. Their honey mango shave cream is killer too. They also have a lot of healthy option chips and snacks. Virtually everything chocolate covered is good. And yes, the everything bagel seasoning.

I really like TJ's except for their in house wine and beer. I just get other brands as i don't think their brands are good.
I get pretzels, pizza dough, cookies, some veggies, they allow single beer purchases so i often explore some beers, their frozen foods are really good - try the indian ones. I get their frozen fish and some snacks like nuts etc.

Haven’t been there in over a year. I remember buying some good baguettes and cookies there but not good enough to go out of my way to get them.

All of those are my staples. That's funny. The mandarin orange chicken is pretty amazing also if you use the air fryer.
