What’s special about Trader Joes?

I see several of you posting about this store and I’ve never been so I’m curious what is so wonderful about it?

I see that we have a store not too far from me so if you guys tell me about it, might make the two hour trek to go out there

They have some organic selections that other stores dont have. Like coffee and frozen corn... some great unique snacks and good produce. Some superior gluten free stuff at a more reasonable price. The cheese is high quality. Its like a specialty store but moderately priced. Def worth a trip to check out. Theyre kosher pickles are great. A little too salty but no funky chemicals unlike everyone else.

Eta- just noticed it's two hours away from you. Def bring lots of money and do something else fun in the area too. I wouldnt drive 2 hours to go there unless I lived in the country where it's fun to drive.

@Penny we tend to go across the border shopping every six weeks or so so I thought the next time I go I’ll check out Trader Joe’s.
