This. You can’t compare the two. They’re different stores.

I’m curious if some of the TJ haters have actually been in one.
I get all my dairy from there, it’s all rbst free. They have great cheeses.
My kid likes the yogurts so I get those there too.
They have WG bread, WG rice etc that we get there too. Pasta, way cheaper than the grocery store.

Yeah, but some of the processed crap is soo yummy!

TJs is easy intstant meals and snacks for young/single people, Costco is for families that mostly cook from scratch.


Disagree. Costco is for gluttons who want a giant pre-made pot pie, pallet of disgusting croissants, or a gallon of mayo

Seems like you don't know how to cook and cut meat into portions and then freeze it. Pretty sad and pathetic.


Frozen, thawed meat is gross. Next.


Wow. Life must be a challenge for you.

Not at all, I have the time and money to buy fresh food and cook it. What’s your problem? I don’t need to buy cheap Costco meat and portion out and freeze it.

Family of 5 and I cook from scratch daily. I buy majority of our food at TJ. I don’t get the complaints. Their produce is great and they have just about any ingredient you would want for most meals. The only things I don’t get there is fresh meat, other than chicken. Their chicken and turkey selection is great. I often get their whole chickens or turkey breast half and roast it

I’m a PP. Def. Not a hater. I like some of the frozen stuff, nuts, and snacks. The produce is not great. And I’m not deluding myself like some people by thinking I’m eating healthier bc it’s TJs vs Stouffer’s.

I have a feeling the reason you think this is because these are things you would buy there if you were a member. Stop projecting your neuroses onto others.

Congratulations, here’s your head pat?

Normal, happy individuals don’t feel compelled to chime in about how “gross” previously frozen meat is.

Costco still has better prices but sometimes I don’t knew the quantity.

I shop both places.

Both places have people farting almost all the time.

It is very clear that all posting have been to TJ. We are not stupid to answer about grocery stores we haven't been to. You, on the other hand....

We’ll see you the one saying it’s all processed crap and frozen dinners? Because if you had been in one you would know that’s not true.

You must be a narcissist. Those who do not agree with every bullshit you say, must be wrong. There is a lot of processed crap and frozen dinners. The fact that you can't understand that others disagree with you, makes you the crazy one.

Ive been there and I see what others are buying. It’s clear why there is obesity epidemic. Anyone that is unsure of the reason should take a trip to Costco and do some observation
