If it can't be saved by the air fryer it doesn't go in the basket.

this. Every once in awhile when the wife drags me there I'll get the chocolate croissants that you leave out all night on the counter until they swell to the size of cigar boxes then put them in the oven and bake them for 25 minutes.

Very good fresh, not so good the next day.

Their whole milk mozzerella is top rated and what I prefer for my homemade pizza.

I find their fruits/veggies to be better and often cheaper compared to other stores.

Also, I like their sourdough bread.

No dude.
Every week or so check out the frozen apps. All delicious, less than 5 bucks. The wine is way overrated but cheap so proceed as you like. The produce is great and well priced just have elbows out for the busies. The marinated pork tenderloins and chicken are fantastic. Especially the Schwarma. Cracker, sauce chip products are fine. Probably cheaper than usual grocery. Lots of other hidden gems I don’t know about

They've got well-priced wine, a great cheese selection that's also well-priced, lots of frozen meals that are great, and some damn good salsas.

Problem with TJs is you end up needing togo somewhere else to fill in the gaps, especially meats.

This gets old quick and you stop going to TJs.

This stuff is incredible:



I also really like their raw meat that’s pre marinated. Favorite is the chicken shawarma.

That's why you only shop there to get random stuff. I wouldn't use it as my main grocery.

This. It's not meant to be a "one stop shop" type of grocery store. I mean, look at the size of the stores.

Y'all been to the Metry location? It's a shite show and not worth it for random shite.
