Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Welp, no more Trader Joe’s …

Well, fuck.
TJs ice treats are goddamned delicious.
Any birds that survived bird flu (most of them) we want the genes from. Instead we need to kill them to save them (or something). Guess we aren’t ever going to learn.
Being in a brand new TJ's (ILTCITJ's) and eye-balling their shit, roughly 60% of everything in there looked like gross candy/sweets, and another 20% was alcohol.
Probably the least healthy grocery chain out there.
Never been a Trader Joes believer. It's got some mysterious appeal, especially to women. Went in LA and their produce was always bad and spoiled within a day or two. Some of their beef wasn't even choice. Their only real "good" stuff was ready to-go stuff and frozen stuff with really small portions which were equal par with anything you could get at any other store. Then they also have very limited toiletries and things like that. I kid you not had an ex who we would have to go to Trader Joes, but then also go to a real grocery store.
Oh, and they maximize space so their parking lots are always nightmarish and the aisles are super tiny and crowded.
My wife has been complaining about their chicken
Yeah the sweets that they come up with in there are absolute panty droppers.
Nothing in there besides cold coffee is for me.
You want sugar, TJs is the place.
They've got this funfetti white cake that is bonerific. Their dark chocolate cake is goddamned delicious too. Already mentioned the ice cream - holy fuck!
Then they've got these dark chocolate covered espresso beans that are to die for. And their dark chocolate covered toffee -FUCK ME WITH DIABUTES!
I'm shocked I'm not T1 after a few trips to TJ.
I was stoned at that TJ's and the place looked like a scene from the original Willy Wonka.
You and @Joey should challenge them as a competitor by opening up a TRADER JOEY'S. Make the store WWF-themed. Have banners everywhere saying Importer/Exporter
I believe we had a conversation about Trader Joe’s on @YellowSnow’s board.
I’ll summarize the discussion: Trader Joe’s is for fags.
The Throbber cringes when Mrs. Throbber v2.0 does the weakly shopping at TJs. It means shit for dinner and a lot of kale-based crap. Their meat is shit quality.
Beer, wine, booze, ice cream is what TJ is good for. That crosses all lines of homosexuality.
So obviously a perfect store for perusers of this forum. I knew we all had something more in common than just Husky athletics. Obligatory faggy 😉
As a boomer I like the heavily advertised national brands I grew up watching advertisements for. My wife likes TJ but I don't like off brands and fake bullshit
I go to a couple different TJ's. One is around 900 square feet(only exaggerating a little). It's almost as small as the old one on Queen Anne Hill from years ago. But it's the one with a liquor license….
I agree it's overrated and there's a lack of toiletries and no garbage bags or pet food like Safeway, Albertson's, Fry's etc. has. Also the face diaper count is usually 2-8. It's still healthier than most stores.
There are a few select items that we get at Trader Joes. 1. Only place in town to get dried mangos with no sugar added. 2. Almonds 3. Plantain chips with no sugar added 4. Ghee is almost half price of Winco. 5. Eggs are cheaper than local grocery right now
That's about it. We can be in and out in under 5 minutes then get the real grocery shopping done at Winco.
I have never set foot in a Trader Joe’s
