Trader Joe’s

Love Trader Joes! This one is just like any other. Plenty of fresh produce and organic options at reasonable prices. Saturday’s are very busy so I recommend going on any other day. Staff were really nice, although I don’t think they should be stocking shelves in the middle of Saturday morning — it was kind of an inconvenience to have to maneuver around them constantly. Otherwise, still one of my favorite stores.

Regular items are really expensive. Where other grocery stores have the same items for less money. Unless you’re looking for a special item a specialty piece that nobody else carries this grocery store was over priced for me.

I love Trader Joe’s! This is the 3^rd store I’ve been to besides the one in Shrewsbury, NJ and the one in Hoboken/​Jersey City area. Best part about this one: BEER & WINE! Yay! We decided to cruise the store and pick up some of our favorite staples; yogurt covered raisins, dark chocolate covered blueberries, sea salt, 21 spice, pumpkin pie spice (which they were out of, unfortunately), nuts, cookie butter, dark chocolate filled mints, soup mixes, bananas & apples.
I was thrilled to finally be able to sample some of their Charles Shaw wine for $ 2.99; I decided to take home a bottle each of the Merlot and Cabernet. I opened the Merlot last night and it’s fabulous! It’s nice and light, not too sweet, not too dry; it’s just perfect for me. We’re very happy with all of our items! Yum yum!
My kids found the stuffed lion and received lollipops as their prize; they were thrilled! Very friendly service at the registers; they were extremely busy but the checkout experience was pretty quick and very smooth. Nice big parking lot with plenty of clean carts available. We will definitely be back to this particular Trader Joe’s!

I love the smooth and mellow coffee, and the fresh vegetables. This is my favorite grocery store.

This place allowed for me to eat my recently purchased McDonald’s while shopping I did spill some of my tea on items but they told me «don’t worry about it» so yes shop here!

I love to visit this location when I am in town visiting my family. We do not have a Trader Joe’s in Northeast Tennessee which is so sad because the atmosphere and friendly service are unmatched with regular grocery stores.
I can’t think of one thing I’ve purchased from Trader Joe’s that I haven’t loved. I get so excited about the seasonal items.
The last time I went to the Winston-​Salem location I mentioned to the employee at the register that I was headed to Tennessee. He asked me if we had any food allergies and ran and got us a box of chocolate covered almonds for free! He absolutely made my day and I will definitely return and give my business to this store whenever I have time to stop in.

Thumbs up! I have only good things to say… great staff, awesome selection of good food and everything is the right price.
I love this store!

What can I say that hasn’t already been said before, but this place is a definite gem. Between Aldi and Tj’s my fridge is plenty stocked with affordable and healthy food. Since this is the only TJ’s for a while it can get a bit crowded, and with all of those shopping carts prepare for collisions. The staff is genuinely nice and very chatty, even my inner grumpus doesn’t mind.

Trader Joe’s is one of my favorite stores. They have such a wide variety of food items and healthy snacks. I’m a huge fan of the tamales.

So lucky we ended up with a Trader Joe’s! Ha ha! Suck it, Greensboro! ;) Their frozen meal selection is varied, unique, and so tasty! This is where I spend all my money. I also love love love their olive oil popcorn — subtle flavor, not too salty, it’s just right for my taste buds. I like to wander up and down their aisles just looking at all the fabulous labeling on the products. Yes, I have bought a box of kleenex from them because the packaging totally sucked me in.

I love shopping here to find unique, one of a kind foods. They also sell locally made items as well, which I love. My personal favorite is the Orange Chicken! It’s become a household favorite because the flavor is fresh, bright and very easy to make. The staff is very helpful to recommend new items and also send newsletters to keep you informed of new items and specials they have! They offer samples of new items and also have a section dedicated to local items as well. The price can be higher than a typical grocer, but worth the extra drive and price for the difference in quality and flavor! I love just browsing to get ideas for recipes of my own.

I love this store!!! Always a great experience each and every time. Awesome service from every employee. Wonderful options for selections. If you have never tried this place you should. The only thing is that I wish there was a location in High Point or Greensboro!!!

There are definitely a number of things to like about Trader Joe’s, starting with some of the friendliest, most helpful service you’ll find in any grocery store around. The check out process here is usually quick and efficient, unlike that encountered at Whole Foods.
This particular store is smaller than other Trader Joe’s I’ve been in, especially the one in Cary, bur probably is not much smaller than the one on Wake Forest Road in Raleigh. Like all the Trader Joe’s, it always seems to be crowded and rather noisy, and the pricing is not always the least expensive you’ll find on a lot of items, but there is variety, and some bargains are there, wine for instance.
But the biggest draw for me, other than «3 Buck Chuck», is the quality and variety of their prepared and frozen items, a nice variety of bread choices, and the cheese selection is excellent. The have a frozen Linguine with White Clam Sauce, and a frozen Linguine Alfredo that are very good for a quick, simple meal.
We’ll probably eventually have a Trader Joe’s in Greensboro, once the city PTB and real estate developers figure out how to have a stand alone structure built for it, on land zoned residential, in the middle of Irving Park, beside the biggest Sheetz location in that chain. Gotta stamp out those food deserts, they’re a real threat.

First trip to the location & it was very clean & well organized. The staff was friendly. Great wine selection. When you’ve been to 1 Trader Joe’s you’ve been to them all. I’m mostly disappointed that I went in looking for coconut oil only to be told they aren’t carrying any right now ! WHAT ?!? I’ve always bought my oil from this store in CA. HUGE disappointment & I probably won’t be back as often as I would’ve.

The best place to shop. The cheese selection and wine is price right as is the fruit and bread dairy and if you want to try most items they will accommodate you

I wish wish wish there was a Trader Joe’s in High Point! I love Trader Joe’s and what they stand for. The quality of their products are just amazing. This location is well organized, and always well stocked. I have never met a grumpy Trader Joe’s employee, so either they’re happy and treated well or they hide their discontent well. I could spend my entire paycheck here.
The only downside to this location is it’s size. I’m not sure how it compares with other Trader Joe’s, but this one always seems crowded. Pushing through the isle-​ways makes my anxiety level increase every time.

Prior to this visit, I have only been to one other Trader Joe’s and only one time… I hadn’t been impressed with the last visit and left empty-​handed. My sister wanted to come here today and I agreed to go to… I’M GLAD I DID!!!
I didn’t explore this place too much but I did get a sample of super-​delicious Gingerbread Coffee. (SO GOOD!) and while making my way around the store I stumbled upon their BEER SELECTION and for this alone, Trader Joe’s get 4-​stars. Wish I knew about their pretty awesome selection and lower than expected prices! They not only sell 6-​packs, but individual beers that you can make into your own 6-​pack! But unlike the grocery stores where you «Create Your Own 6-​Pack» for $ 9.99, these individually-​priced beer range from like 70 cents to around $ 2.50, averaging in the low $ 1.00-$ 1.50 range. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.
And I agree with some other reviewers who said that the staff is super friendly and helpful. They are AWESOME! There’s at least one employee who walks around with a sign saying they are there if you need help. In today’s case, this individual’s sign was a snowman… which my daughter was absolutely fascinated with. This employee even stood behind some merchandise and made the snowman do a little song and dance for her. SO CUTE!
Can’t wait to go back and EXPLORE!

Trader Joe’s at Thruway Center in Winston-​Salem has been open for two years now and represents the only location in the entire Triad. Even with time, the store is as bright and clean as day one, and the staff seem to become more welcoming with each visit. Prior to 2012, we would shop at Trader Joe’s in Chapel Hill or Charlotte while visiting friends. The WS store is slightly smaller than other Trader Joe’s stores in NC, but is laid out very well, in fact I think it surpasses others in ease of finding items and maneuverability.
Trader Joe’s is a throwback to the bygone neighborhood grocery store. The stores are much smaller than competitors. The Winston-​Salem location, at 13,000 sq ft., is 18% the size of the flagship Harris Teeter store in Greensboro. Instead of batteries, DVDs, and other non-​essentials, at Trader Joe’s you will find a superbly curated selection of foods. Their in house brands are mostly either all natural or organic. Selections include all of the basic foods you would expect in a grocery store, but typically better than other grocery stores. Standouts include the huge cheese section, great coffee and tea, and the frozen foods. For those of us who may only have a quick 10 minutes for lunch or dinner, they sell a wide variety of frozen, ready to microwave/​bake items. My go to is the vegan pad thai, a steal at $ 2.29 per container. A rotating selection of pizzas imported from Italy is also worth a look. In the area of HBA items, Trader Joe’s sells basic items like shampoo/​conditioner, paper items, and soaps. We are particularly fans of the bargain priced shampoo. Rounding out a store visit is the beer and wine section. While many will make a visit for the ubiquitous two buck chuck, consider bumping up your price point a couple of dollars for some true gems, like the exclusive Blue Fin label wines.
I could spend many characters describing in detail every item we’ve tried in the store, but for a vegetarian, Trader Joe’s is foodie nirvana. It offers the rock bottom prices (our bill usually totals between $ 60-​$ 80) and the quick in and out shopping experience of Audi, paired with an organic friendly consciousness that you would find at Whole Foods. Go to Target for your razors and hairspray, come to Trader Joe’s for a total food experience.

I came here in the middle of the day on a Saturday and was very pleased by how calm and well-​stocked the store was; I had become used to the frenzied madness of the other NC Trader Joe’s. I hate when salespeople get in my face, but either I had on a mean face or else I got lucky as they were very low-​key.
If you know exactly what you’re looking for (and it’s either a very common or a very strange item), this can be a great place to get a good quality version of it at a good price. Also, as mentioned previously, the frozen food here is a step above most; I don’t usually consume frozen food, but I feel like I can trust that at TJ’s.
Also, if you have any friends/​loved ones/​etc who have grocery-​shopping-​phobia, this is a great place to help work them through it, since it can be a very appealing trip to all the senses!

I’m a big fan of most Trader Joe’s and this one is no exception. The staff is super friendly and helpful, although I did feel bad for that guy who had to carry the huge «Ask Me For Help Sign» around but, I did see people successfully asking him for help. As other reviewers have mentioned this Trader Joe’s is on the smaller side.
I tend to always stay away from the frozen food isles at grocery stores but at Trader Joe’s I head right on over. Their frozen food is definitely a cut above some of the big name brands you would find at other grocery stores. Just take one look at the ingredients and it is easy to see why. I am also a big fan of the meats that they carry, they never disappoint.
I was sad to see that they didn’t have any Mexican soft cheeses in their cheese section. I had a specific recipe to make and had to head over to Whole Foods to find the cheese. The employee I spoke with said they use to have a similar cheese but they don’t carry it anymore (bummer).
This is right around the corner from my house so I will definitely be visiting here often. I am excited to try out the Trader Joe’s exclusive (and inexpensive) wine offerings, my patio is in need of them!
