Not sure they are complete rivals. I shop at both and here they are
fairly close together. Each has some different things to offer.

I do. And on some things WF isn't too bad. A lot of times I shop WF
for specific things that I might not find other places. They have some
great prepared foods and actually the other week I got a fresh made
pizza that was cheaper than delivery. Their 365 brand is usually pretty
fairly priced.

Now TJ's is definitely a better buy on most things and if I time it
right I get my milk and eggs there.
