[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It probably tastes so "bland" to you because you are used to processed food. [/quote]

I recently learned that a lot of TJ's items have fewer preservatives and are just healthier than name brand equivalents because they serve as their own distributor, so can shorten the time products spend in warehouse or in transit. The result is that a lot of TJ's products are fresher and healthier. But people will complain that they go bad faster, like their bread gets moldy faster and their jarred items won't last as long in the fridge once opened. People don't get this is a feature, not a bug. You aren't stocking a bunker. The crap that Sara Lee puts in their bread so it stays "fresh" in your pantry for weeks is not actually stuff you want in your body. Plus you are paying double for it, and most of your money is going towards marketing, not making the product better. [/quote]

I think TJs just buys from distributors.  Many of their products are also sold in other stores but packaged differently. I oncce read their milk is cheaper but goes bad faster because they have a slower shipping process.  Fine if you go through it fast but do not buy it if you expect it to last.  That said I do buy non perishables...and they are fine to me.[/quote]
