Do you shop like 5 days a week. I like your effort and all of that, but who has time for that stuff.

Y'all need an HEB in your life. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are for the birds.

Since this is not far at all from the Fresh Market on Vets, may make it a habit to stop by on Tuesdays on my lunch


I can't wait either but scroll down to picture 22 to see what to expect for the first 6 months!

TJ's does snack food and frozen items very well. they have a few other things that i like (their guac is fantastic, applewood smoked bacon delicious). they also have a good pre-prepped food collection, as well (salads, wraps, a few dinners). their produce is nothing to write home about. meat is pretty good quality and for a good price.


When I bake I typically buy their pecans and walnuts because they're quite a bit cheaper than somewhere like Kroger.

Like you said, they have some good stuff. I never really "shop" for a full week's worth of groceries there or anything but I like their hummus, some of their pre-prepped meats, and frozen foods.

We buy a lot in bulk, for example u go to SAMs once a month and Walmart twice a month. When we find a sale we buy all we can if we can store it. Also freeze a lot of stuff.

Biggest thing I miss about Texas is HEB. I've sent many letters to them. I suggested they buy rouses.

I dunno. It's basically a standalone store. The only time traffic will get bad there is obviously when they are just open, and during Christmas season when traffic backs up trying to get into Lakeside.


? Have you driven by the property lately? There's 2 other buildings in the development with multiple stores in each.

This. I'm addicted to the pre made, frozen cauliflower rice. I buy several bags every time I see it because it usually sells out. They also have a frozen quinoa mix that goes great with Indian food (I know).

yeah apparently this is more recent. I don't drive by there often and the last time I did, I only saw the one building. Apparently they are going to have other stores there as well. I'm curious as to what they will be.

Yep I'll be clearing the shelves of this once they open.

Trader Joe's is jam packed with sub par products

I don't think its possible for you to be more wrong. I don't even shop there or have dog in fight, but their products or typically ingredient and quality leaders in analysis I have seen. For instance, the app "fooducate", which analyzes products based on ingredients and nutritional information nearly always places trader joe's products in the top for every category
