i went vegan for a diet i was doing, and my diet partner wanted to go to TJs. i was really, really confused why nearly all the produce was already picked for you and packaged, it was the most ridiculous and wasteful thing i'd ever seen. also, every TJs i've ever been in has been a total clusterfuck. the layouts are such that i feel like i'm always in someone's way, and forget about trying to maneuver a shopping cart.
most regular grocery stuff you can get at shaw's for cheaper than either place, so i like whole foods for produce i can't get there or the bulk bins, which actually are pretty reasonably priced. whole foods really gets you with their prepared stuff, but everything else seems pretty average. their 365 brand is also decently priced, but again you could just go to shaw's.
