It is hard for those of us who have not been to a Trader Joe store to conceptualize.
Please tell us what some of your favorite things are to buy there.

I love nuts and there are large bags of raw, roasted and salted nuts at reasonable prices. Great for snacking, cooking or salads. They make great Tapenades, have great frozen foods ( I love their frozen hor doerves). I also buy Italian sauces but they have many interesting sauces and flavored olive oils and vinegars as well. There are great salted snacks. meats, lunch meats and dairy. Good Greek yogurt and regular kind.
Gracie et. al, you would love the place.
The "three buck chuck" wine is made by Charles Shaw and is actually quite good, but there is a large selection of wine available. This store just has Villages stamped all over it. In Cincy it is locates in Kenwood and caters to the clientele in that vicinity so you know it is quality.
How about a Road trip? We could include lunch and fellowship.
If anyone is interested in a road trip, let me know.
