Whole Foods is set up as more of a supermarket, but I think Trader Joe's prices are more reasonable. JMO.

Re: Which is better Trader Joe's or Whole Foods?
I love Trader Joe's and find their prices a lot better-Whole Foods will have some unique things, but expensive and not as many things as you'll find at Trader Joe's...enjoy and bring insulated bags!

Trader Joes has great prices-- even better than the regular supermarket. Whole Foods can be overpriced. It depends if you are looking for something specific.

Re: Which is better Trader Joe's or Whole Foods?
Although Trader Joe's is cheaper, I prefer Whole Foods.
I only shop there for specific things though - usually from their butcher, like Italian Turkey Sausage. They also have lots of great options for lunch - Mexican food, salad, sushi, pizza, various hot foods, etc. Their bakery is delicious also. And, they usually have whatever type of seafood I'm looking for - mussels, clams, salmon, tilapia, etc.

Re: Which is better Trader Joe's or Whole Foods?
It depends what you are looking for.
Whole Foods has more & better organic produce and meats. The meats & fish can be expensive though. The produce isn't much more than Stop & Shop, but much better quality.
They are also more like a supermarket, so you can get msot things on your regular grocery list.
Trader Joe's is very limited--the ones by me, never have much produce, but they have good prices on things like cold cereal, oat bran, wheat germ, & they arry their own products, if you are looking for frozen meals & things like that.

Trader Joes but honestly I'm not impressed with either.
Whole Foods I call whole paycheck beause it's way overpriced.

Re: Which is better Trader Joe's or Whole Foods?
I think it depends. Trader Joe's have GREAT prices- and they have alot of great stuff- like sauces, oils, snacks, etc. Their frozen stuff is awesome too!
I would never buy meat from Trader Joe's. Its not really fresh.
For stuff like fruits and veggies and meat, Whole Foods is the way to go!

Re: Which is better Trader Joe's or Whole Foods?
different
whole food is more fresh foods organic and pricey at times...but their fresh meat and fish selection is amazing..
trader joes is more canned stuff, snacks, some fresh items, random grocery things..their cheese slection is very inexpensive compared to regualr supermarkets..
if you have a shopping list go to whole foods
if you are looking to pick up fun snacks and frozenmeals/apps etc go to trader joes.

Re: Which is better Trader Joe's or Whole Foods?
I love the Whole Foods in Manhasset. We do much of our food shopping there. When we move to Bellmore, I will check out the Trader Joe's in Merrick. I have never even been to one!

Whole foods has a far bigger selection and I love their huge hot bar buffet food stations. I get my little carton of food as a treat after grocery shopping!
