Trader Joe's is a great place for lapbanders

Regarding pricing here in the Greater Boston, MA area their prices are lower than our regular grocery stores. Sad but true.

Honk- I am from the boston area as well- metro west . And I agree- often TJ's is a better bargain than the regular store, except maybe market basket....

I would like to try some of the stuff but the closest is about 60 miles one way

I went to the site didn't see where you can order online.

Anybody know if you can order online

When I don't want to travel 30 miles to Trader Joe's, I shop at my Fresh N Easy store. They have packages of individual servings as well as family size which are fresh, yummy and tasty. I buy my chicken breast pieces pre-cooked from them. They are chopped up already and I take 2-3 oz to work for lunch.

Being single, I don't cook for myself much and I can afford to buy ready made.

Love TJ's...we drive an hour each way and go every two weeks...my oldest daughter has Chrones and she can handle pretty much everything they have there..and it's prob the cheapest health food type store their is..love whole foods but not their prices

I'm in south Florida and I've never seen a Trader Joes. It sounds very similar to Whole Foods.....

Anyone know if they are pretty much the same?

Trader Joe's is less expensive and usually smaller than Whole Foods, but they operate on somewhat of the same premise. I love TJ's because I can buy frozen dinners that don't taste like cardboard and they have so many yummy, good for you foods! They don't always have a big selection of fruits though.

Looks like there are two TJ's in FL:

4101 S Tamiami Trail

Sarasota, FL 34231

3724 SW Archer Rd

Gainesville, FL 32608

Isn't there one in ft worth tx??

Looks like there are 6 in Texas, one in Ft. Worth:

2701 S Hulen St

Fort Worth, TX 76107
