"Trader Joe's"

No rip-off prices, lots of non-American food, decent organic range and best of all, decent bread and creamy milk like back home.

I wish there was one within weekly shopping distance of where I live right now. We have two that I live about 50 miles from.
Target....

Got one two minutes drive from the house and you can walk there easily in less than ten minutes :grin: Although I am told that the Trader Joe's over here are not as good as the West Coast. Shame really.

I like Wegman's where I live, its okay, they carry a bit of english brand food and drinks and there is a pretty good variety too.
I dont think its the best ever its alright

TJ's does it for me too. Got much better here in the last few years.
Central market .
Has everthing you need good service but a little on the expensive side
None in the Muskegon area.
Popped into a store in Toronto by my work, and got IRN BRU during lunch time, tastes wicked as ever

Enjoy, eh. :razz: Hope you don't burp and regurgitate. :mrgreen:

Certainly a fine store. There's one about 15 minutes away from me! 8) It's also near to to World Market store which has to be one of my favorites too!

World Market, even the kids like it as they see stuff they had when they were small from different places.
