Equally as addicting as Girl Scout cookies...

I really need to get back into that store.  I went there once and just felt totally out of my element, the place was PACKED and I didn't know why I was there so I got frustrated and left.  What else is good there?

EVERYTHING!!!!

I'll stop yelling now.

The first time I went to TJs I almost left in frustration, too. It is overwhelming and nothing is familiar since it is all of their own packaging. I couldn't get with their layout and they don't have signs up saying "this aisle: soup and pasta, that aisle: cookies."

If you go back try to avoid the weekends if you can, or if you do go on weekends go around dinner time, it seems to be the emptiest time of day on a Saturday.

I love love love their frozen food. We buy bags of mandarin chicken, terriyaki chicken, bbq chicken pizza, dumplings, tacitos, grilled chicken strips and tons of other stuff and just store them. They are all delicious.

Their prepared food, in the refrigerator section is delicious, their dairy products are significantly less expensive than traditional supermarkets. I buy a gallon of organic milk there for $6, I spend $5 for a HALF gallon of organic milk at my local Key Food.

The only things I can't get there are soda (like coke and sprite,) paper goods (I'm a tree murderer, I use Charmin,) and baby food.

The one time that I went it was probably about 6-630 on a weekday so I hit the after work/pick something to make tonight crowd.

Ditto this.  We love their dairy stuff (as Pokey mentioned it is much cheaper), frozen section, their simmer sauces (so easy), and good basics (cereal, cookies, snacky things).  I always leave that store wanting to cook something right away and not believing how much less I paid for my groceries.
