We couldn't live without TJ's. Milk, butter, sour cream, yogurt and other
dairy stuff is all cheaper than the local supermarket and always of good
quality. Orange juice is better and cheaper. Two buck Chuck wines, all
varieties, are good and very inexpensive, depending on your local and state
liquor taxes. I think we do over 50% of our food shopping at TJ's. This will
change your life positively.

As well the TJ's in our area have excellent customer service. As I recall
they got very high marks in Consumer Reports for that.
