With about 285 stores in nearly 25 states, the company offers upscale grocery fare such as health foods, organic produce, and nutritional supplements. To keep costs down, its stores have no service departments and average about 10,000 sq. ft. The company's specialty is its line of more than 2,000 private-label products (70% of sales), including beverages (its signature Charles Shaw brand wine sells for $2 a bottle), soup, snacks, and frozen items. Started by Joe Coulombe as a Los Angeles convenience store chain in 1958, the company was bought in 1979 by German billionaires Karl and Theo Albrecht, who also own the ALDI food chain. My description, cheap but hippie. This store dont have Mt. Dew, but they do have organic rice milk. I love TJ's mostly for the frozen meats in 1 person portions. I also can get things like Milk there for cheaper. You can see what I bought there below: Meatballs $3.59 Chicken Orange Mandarin $4.99 Crinkle Potato Wedge $1.69 (2x) 85% Ground Beef $3.71 Salmot Fillet Stuffed $2.99 Grocery 1? $2.96 (6x) Frozen Bananas $1.99 (4 in each box, I love these!!!) Handmade Steak Burritos $2.99 Breaded Calamari Rings $3.99 Potato chips Ridge Cut Blue $1.99 TJ's Tarter Sauce $1.99 2% Milk $3.69 Total $51.49 Grand Total (Giant +TJ) = $189.38 Hopefully you enjoy look at what I buy, ask any questions:-) |
