Eclectic is the word that best describes Trader Joe’s offerings. From gourmet to organic to vegetarian and everything in-between, there are a lot of great deals to be had from the store that has Hawaiian shirts as part of the employee dress code. You won’t find a lot of name brands, but you will find a lot of things you never realized you wanted. Don’t forget to check out the (not quite) “Two Buck Chuck” wine that is much tastier than price tag implies.
