[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check out the Fooducate app. You can scan a bar code and it gives you a quick profile of how bad a given food is for you -- [b]great for processed foods like at TJs.[/b] I was pleasantly surprised their sweet potato fries got an "A-".

You may have heard this by now, maybe by actually reading this thread for example! But trader joes offers all kinds of unprocessed (salmon, pommegranates) or barely processed (nuts in a bag, quinoa in a bag, cheddar cheese) items.

Trader joes is no more process-y than wegmans, Harris teeter or even whole foods.  All 3 sell apples and all 3 sell chocolate ring dings and cheese doodles. [/quote]

I cannot do all my grocery shopping at TJs-not enough selection of whole foods. I too consider it a high end 7-11.

Things I buy here:

Nuts/Oats/Oils/Chocolate

I find their fresh "produce" lacking.

All in all, I have very little use for TJs [u]since I cook mainly from scratch. [/u]I buy 90% of my groceries from Wegmans.[/quote]

You are just showing ignorance to suggest one could not cook from scratch by shopping mostly at trader joes.  particularly if one eats vegetarian or just fish.
