Editorial Review for Trader Joe's – by Martha Burr
In Short
Founder Joseph Coulombe started this L.A.-based convenience chain 34 years ago. Today, you can get exotic, prepackaged frozen foods, fresh salsas, huge portobello mushrooms, baby artichokes and heirloom tomatoes fresher--and cheaper--than at most supermarkets. Inexpensive meat, fish, coffees and teas, dozens of cheeses, grains and pastas cram the shelves. The frozen section features tasty treats, including barbecue chicken pizzas, mushroom risotto and salmon patties. Beer, wine and liquor sections are stocked with very affordable labels.

It has pretty much everything you can get at a larger grocery store in a small location. I still buy produce at whole foods, but that's personal preference. It has great variety and the staff is friendly and keep it real. They're quick to suggest unique new items too. I highly recommend the dark chocolate pistachio toffee if it's still around.
Pros: staff, products, low prices
Cons: can get crowded
