Went today. Parking lot seemed full but found a spot fast. Aisles a little crowded. One person ahead of me in line. 2 buck chuck is shite. What wine does she get?

Not worth it for me. Even with free delivery and $15 off, it was still cheaper for me to go to the store myself.

You have to factor in the value of your time. If in a year you save 60-75 hours in shopping time (very conservative, especially when you factor travel time) what is it worth to you?

Uh, wut? Trader Joe's is hell on earth unless you go on a weekday while everyone is at work.

Sprouts didn't impress me at all, but I have no idea about whether it get packed or not. I just felt like they sell the same stuff that Fresh Market does and nothing seemed special about it, considering everyone raving about it.

Where do you buy your groceries?

I hate them too. I shop at Robert on Highland. I've never been in line behind more than 1 person there. Always get front parking spot. No traffic in the area. Friendly workers.

Other options if avoiding people is your biggest concern (it is mine too so I get it) could be Bet-R, Calandros, Mathernes.

Weird melt. It’s just conversation. It happens.

Also. The big box “long line” stores don’t have long lines at 8am either, so not sure how that makes a difference.
