I found the Two Buck Chuck wine, not as bad as I thought it would be, but it's usually $2.99. And I try and buy New Mexico wine.

Good selection of cheeses. I like cheese. My Parents were from Europe. My wife and I lived in Europe almost four years. I do miss the wine and cheese "atmosphere" of Europe. But WalMart has all the choices of cheese I need.

Trader Joe's is the best. My favorite grocery store in ABQ. Quality products at low prices.

I hope you are joking. Recycled toilet paper is not made from used toilet paper.

Yeah, "two buck" is now three buck chuck. The price went up about three years ago, but you're right, it's surprisingly good!

Yes it was a joke. Recycled toilet paper just sounds funny.

I have a few mixed feelings about the two Trader Joe's here in the ABQ area. The one in Uptown is OK. The one off Paseo Del Norte seems to have a high level of rude and snobbish people on busy days. Just my opinion.


Rich
wow, snobbish people, are you talking about the employees or the customers? If you are talking customers, I would agree but I have never found an employee of any Trader Joe's rude, especially at the Paseo Del Norte location. Of course I haven't been there for about a year.

Yes, I should have said, customers. In all fairness the employees we met were way above friendly and knowledgeable...

yes, I agree. The customers, to me, are the eletists and seem to be pretty phony, not like most of NM> it is too bad.

I must be one of those elitist, phony snobs because I shop at Trader Joe's on occasion. Please get out of my way when I'm trying to get at my $2.49 jar of peanut butter and cheap wine.

Luv their cheese and holiday ale. Nuts aren't so bad either.
