We *love* Trader Joe's -- they have free coffee and cookies you can drink while you shop and they always give my baby a baloon. And its small and not exhausting with toddlers. And the staff is happy and friendly. And they sell bags of flash frozen chicken breasts -- like at costco, but with NO antibiotics and way cheaper than WF. And the nut butters and spices and everything is way cheaper than WF. Plus they sell bags of frozen halved avacados, which is wonderful for when alvacados are out of season. Great selections of yummy frozen veggies get us through the winter. I don't think of them as all natural like whole foods, just more likely to have a good natural selection than another store, and great to shop at, and cheap.

I agree the produce selection is weak though. It's Whole Foods for chicken and produce (though we are joining a CSA soon) and TJ's for packaged and frozen stuff.
