Great commercial. I recognized almost every product there. TJ really does have a unique and eclectic mix of food. The thing I notice is that I can find 99% of all the items I need when grocery shopping there but I only end up spending $50-60 a week instead of $100 or more that the same items would cost at a Stop and Shop or Whole Foods.

The one thing they seem to be lacking is a meat and seafood department. All their meat is shipped in; it's not bad, but it can't compare to Whole Foods. My solution is to get everything at TJ, then stop by Whole Foods to buy a pound of fish and chicken. Best of both worlds...

This works extremely well for me also. The Cambridge Trader Joe's is extremely close to a whole foods.
