Trader Joe’s has the same prices nationally, so in NYC they are very cheap. For example, their jarred tomato sauce, which is pretty good quality, is $1.99 - the grocery store closest to me has bad tomato sauce starting at $4.99, the pretty good ones are more like $6.99 to $8.99. While not everything is this good of a deal, this is what makes it worth dealing with their crazy lines and limited selection!
