Trader Joe's
YUK!!
I hate it, they might be cheap but the quality of their Veggies is awful
they have ok ready meals though
yet it is soooo crowded at 3:00 the line loops around the store
You are right that their meat selection being poor...very poor...the same with veggies.
But I love their packaged stuff...like nuts, cereals, chips, beef jerky, beer, wines...stuff like that...but yes...you are right about their meats and veggies...Whole Foods stomps all over them in those categories for sure...lol.
In my own neighborhood...the two walking distance (2-3 blocks) food markets are a Safeway, a Farmer's Joe's (great organic products there)...and a mom & pop's butcher shop.
Hec contributing the pix-- Loving that. Yes, Whole Foods is awesome. I worship there once a week! I harvest most of my food from the ocean, so there's always fresh fish and lobster at my house-- Whole Foods is great for condiments, side dishes, non seafood meats and beverages, SI SI!!! Me gusta mucho!!!
And I love Hector, too. Keep thozzzze piczzzz coming, big guy! How about some fodder for the juicer???
At ten miles from home to the west, we have Meijer, D&W, and Wal-Mart.
Ten miles from home to the east, we have Family Fare
That being said, D&W is the expensive store, Family Fare has no selection, and I would die of starvation before I set foot in Wal-Mart, so Meijer it is.
