As others have said they have a good cheese selection at really fair prices.

Olive oil is cheap there as well.

And this stuff is awesome.

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



That's the one I go to. The trick is going an hour before closing on a Friday. It will be you and maybe 10 other people in there. Other than that? No thanks.

I have a friend that basically only shops at the BR Trader Joe's. I don't know how she does it because she goes even at peak hours.

But I do like their stuff, so on the rare occasion I want to go, I do like you say and go 1 hour before they close. Especially during the winter when it gets dark at 5PM. Hardly a soul in there past 7:30.

We like the risotto. I wish I had known about those thighs-my SO was just there and has now left BR.

Just bought the cannoli cream dip and combined it with their cinnamon toast graham crackers. Fatty paradise in your mouth.

Their meat lasagna is delicious and a great price. For about $7 after tax you get four servings and it is really quite good.

It is often out of stock so I feel lucky when I find it.

I'll second the chicken shawarma thighs. Throw these on a webber kettle and make into a pita wrap...legit.

Others:
Taziki dip (for above shawarma)
chimi - its really good and you can't make it cheaper yourself.
frozen pork dumplings

And holy cow how has nobody mentioned the best chips on the planet...Ghost pepper potato chips!
