EatingWell website blogger Lisa Gosselin wrote an article about what foods are and are not better deals at Trader Joe's. Top picks: Cheeses and Frozen dishes! Not so great picks: Fresh veggies and fruits. Personally, I am a huge fan of their organic salad greens, and have been able to get a pack of 3 organic romaine heads for less than $2.
Also interesting: "In 2001, the company decided not to use any genetically-modified foods in its private label products and in 2007 made a commitment to eliminate added trans fats from all private label products (along with artificial colors, flavors, preservatives). Trader Joe’s branded eggs are all cage free and by 2012, the company promises that all of its seafood will be sustainably-sourced."
