Kathie, How can you say you don't understand all the hype if you never went in? Yes, they aren't Whole Foods which is wonderful but Trader's does have a lot of products that are terrific and ridiculously inexpensive. I would stock up on fabulous cheeses there and save a bundle.

Since we need to make trips to Shands in Gainesville, every three months, looks like we will be making a 2 mile detour on our return.

Trader Joes has a lot of things you don't find elsewhere. Lots of foreign foods as well as the best frozen section ever. They have things you would not necessarily find at the regular grocer, plus their prices rock! Great cheese section, as well as wines, and wonderful appetizers. Yum! Time for a party!!

There was a Trader Joe's about a half mile from my home in Maryland and I hardly ever went there. I would go there in the summer for the Trader Joe Triple Shot Expresso drink in a can to take to the office. Not much else there except some frozen food now and then. Nothing special at all, in my opinion. Would I drive to Gainesvilles for it? No way!

Orange Mandarin Chicken - I miss it and will travel to Gainsville to get it.

Love the Orange Mandarin Chicken. Love the potstickers too, and the dipping sauce.

Trader Joe's ROCKS!!!!!
Yeah Kath, I can't believe that you've never patronized them b4!!!! Whole Foods is OK but they are kind of pricey to say the least!!! Fresh Market is OK too, love their roasted chickens and wonderfully fresh coffee. Nothing beats Walmart or Sam's for bulk and/or party shopping though but neither has the best fresh veggies. Love local vendors for fresh fruit and veggies.

Fresh Market does not compare to Trader Joes

You would drive 150 miles to by some groceries??? Then have to discuss prices that are less than other stores.

I too love TJ, I first went to one in Manhattan Beach, CA, they do have some unique items and they tend to be cheaper on more unusual items. They have a great Ginger bread cake mix that comes out around the end of October and disappears after Christmas, they will carry different items by season and many great wines cheaper. 2 Buck Chuck is a great example, it is $2 in CA more depending on the state, they sell that wine by the case. Many people I know that love wine love 2 Buck Chuck. I got on their web site and told them they need to build by or in the Villages, hopefully someday they will.

It's not 150 miles to Gainesville. More like 65. And yes I would. To buy (not by) some groceries, not to discuss prices. So shoot me.
