I've been continuously underwhelmed with TJ's. It's a sin to say so, though...so I usually keep my mouth shut.

It's not very convenient for us, so we only shop there on occasion. The only thing we buy there regularly is nuts because ours carries a lot of dry roasted varieties and we don't eat nuts roasted in oils. We've also often found fun cheeses there.

And yes, the produce is really lame.

Though, I will say that I did run into a TJ's in downtown Chicago (across from our hotel last summer) and their produce was MUCH more impressive. I do think it must vary by region or perhaps by season?
