How do you know your scales are accurate?

You could be right. But how do you know that for sure?

we live in pembroke pines, lower broward and have 1 trader joes and they are building 2 more within a 20 mile radius. they are all located in strip malls.

Trader Joes are trendy and thats all I can say about them.... my opinion anyway. I much perfer the old time grociers such as Doris Italian Market and Western Beef.....we also have Ginos. I do wish I could find something such as those in central florida to shop at.

Lower Broward is made up of residents that have more money than time.

I think Lake/Sumter/Marion County is the reverse.... majority anyway...more time and less money.

Besides TV internal.....the surrounding communities are not as prosperous and possibly thats why TV does not attract the type of stores and restuarants we would like. Also TV looses a majority of its residents in the summer months.

Buy the same products eat them you will know in the first bite which is better. I have aldi 5 minutes from my house. TJ 1 hour. I drive that so I know what I am eating the better product. Owners are related, but do not share same business plan

I will weigh something on my scale next time and will let you know. My scales is calibrated weekly by a qualified dealer.so I know they are right. Not a home scale

In the products or the product names?

according to consumer reports survey 2014 for customer satisfaction
1 Wegmans 90
2 Publix 87
3 Trader Joe's 87
4 Fareway Stores 85
5 Market Basket (Northeast) 85
6 Costco 84
7 Raley's 84
8 Sprouts Farmers Market 83
9 The Fresh Market 83
10 Stater Bros. 83

Aldi's was 14 with 81 points
Walmart was 67 out of 68 stores 64 points

My guess is Hungarian.

A developer outside the compound is in negotiations with them….

Not surprised
 

I am not surprised that new stores would look for "just outside land" to purchase or lease. Different strokes for different folks----For most groceries Publix suits me just fine----but then I am pretty easy to please when it comes to food----I was raised on "beans and potatoes"-----anything beyond that is luxury to me.

Your guess is correct.
The lady says there are 56 Aldis in Hungary.
If you get six (sample) items stamped you enter a prize drawing on the weekend.

I talked with the manager of Trader Joe's in Gainesville more than two years ago about the possibility of coming to The Villages. His comment was " It's way too expensive for us to do business with The Villages. Under their current policy, It's not going to happen". I didn't push for any kind of clarification, but one can draw their own conclusions. I'll drive the 50 miles North once a month and enjoy spending my money off the reservation.

i have a set of certified weights used to test scales. I used to make rocket propellant (solid fuel) and accuracy was demanded.

Well, to weigh loose beans you don't have to be a.................never mind.
