I don’t know if I could live somewhere without a Trader Joe’s. Though, I only buy the pound plus chocolate bars and chocolate treats there.

- taurath 6y agoTrader Joe’s makes me irrationally angry about cheese prices at other grocery stores, especially Safeway and Kroger.
- CivBase 6y agoIs Trader Joe's cheese particularly cheap? Sharp Cheddar is about $5/lb here.
- taurath 6y agoCheap cheddar and mozzarella is everywhere here, but Brie, any hard cheese other than cheap Parmesan, meunster, Gouda, goat, chevre, anything smoked, fresh ricotta, glouchester, etc are all half price or less at Trader Joe’s compared to the above companies and the quality is good. To get better quality you must pay 4x at a Whole Foods or specialty store.
- CivBase 6y agoMost of that can be found for $8-15/lb at supermarkets here. I'm not sure how that compares to Trader Joe's since they don't support online shopping.
- CivBase 6y agoWe have a total of two Trader Joe's locations in Iowa. I've gone to one of them a couple times, but I didn't see anything I couldn't get at my local Hy-Vee.
- irrational 6y agoI've never heard of Hy-Vee. I assume that is a Trader Joe's like store where you live?
- JCharante 6y agoI loathe going into Trader Joe's because of the atrocious font on their in house products. Whole Foods doesn't have vegan marshmello unlike Trader Joe's so I still go there occasionally, but I never thought I cared deeply about design until I attended a school right next Trader Joe's. I walked 5x the distance to Whole Foods everytime to spare my eyes.
