This is really my only complaint I have with TJ's. Parking lot is kind of on the small side.

FWIW... A good friend does most of the sign work inside the store.

Parking is NO problem if you vere off to the right and park in the parking garage which is multi decked...seems people do not understand that is for all that areas "establishments"....much easier if the TJ'ls lot is full. Went to Max's wind dive tonite on our way to TJ's....good blend for sure!

Was there about noon today, plenty of parking.

I'm totally hooked on their canvas tote bags!

Continue to be very happy with the QPR of their produce, meat, and frozen prepared items. On the other hand their wine have been an unmitigated disappointment (considering they hype). I tried all of their sav blancs and their muscadet and would not pay 1c more then what they are charging. In several cases they should pay people to drink that stuff.

I think it's hilarious how HEB, especially the Lincoln Heights location, is attempting to rip off every single one of TJ's mainstay products... Even goes as far as to come close in product name and design appearance. Also noticing a LOT of freebie offers at Central Market (something they've never done before the new Whole Foods and TJs opened).

It's why I love competition and we need more of it in this town: HEB has had free reign for far too long and it's nice to see them step it up a notch. It all benefits the consumer in the end.

The checkout counters confused me a little bit

Went to Central Market tonight and got bacon, juice, olive oil, pasta, and eggs for free. Purchased a lot great items on sale also. Still got two more coupons for free Sun Tropic juice and Archer Farms bacon, i'll be back later this week to get those.

Okay so I still don't know the answer to this because I still have not actually BEEN to Trader Joe's.

Is it like Central Market and/or Whole Foods and/or Sprouts? Or like a regular grocery? Is it a "discount" store or a cheaper option for fancier stuff?

I really just need to go, and I am not that far from the Quarry, but I forget.
