Trader Joe's located in Asheville is crazy -- parking lot insane! :)…read more Aside from that, one of the best parts about stopping by this Trader Joe's in North Carolina was finding tons of the coveted mini tote bags! I had to grab several before they disappeared because I know how quickly they sell out in California! Beyond the mini totes, this location has the same shopping experience. The store is clean, well-organized, and easy to browse, and the staff is just as friendly as you'd expect.

I was told, rather sarcastically, that TJ's doesn't carry a product I buy at every Trader Joe's from Florida to Virginia to Louisiana, because it's a "brand name" - only to eventually find it on my own accord. I happened to see her again as our cashier and pointed it out as friendly as I could muster, and got an "oh" in return. Just a reminder, kindness is free.

I'm still crying as I type this, I have never been so humiliated. We've been shopping at Publix for…read morethree decades, and I knew Carol Barnett personally, but I will never again return to THIS location-despite the sincere apologies from the very kind store manager, and a very sympathetic CSR Savannah - because ONE rotten apple employee. After a fabulous afternoon birthday tea with friends, I popped into Publix Waynesville. The lines were long, so I opted for self-checkout. Packing bags , I was admittedly slow and deliberate as I am not good at "bagging". I also looked to note that items were being rung up properly (ex. BOGO) so it probably took me about 5 minutes to ring up a full trolley of goods and pack them. As I was placing the receipt into my purse and preparing to vacate the spot, an employee came up and loudly announced that she "did not see me ring up my paper towels" and demanded the receipt. This is something that she HAS THE TECHNOLOGY to check without uttering a word to me. It was an obvious attempt at public humiliation (why?). Several people put their head on a swivel to see the drama of someone loudly being accused of shoplifting paper towels. I wanted to crawl under the register and die, but I could only manage to hand her the receipt and put my head down. After the employee saw her obvious mistake, she only said "okay, thank you" and handed me the receipt back. I asked the monitor standing nearby "why" she did that, to which she gave no reasonable explanation. I barely made it to my vehicle before I broke out in tears and phoned my husband, who instructed me to return all the groceries immediately. I will give credit where credit is due and say that both CSR Savannah and the store manager on duty were very sympathetic and understood how, in this very small town, this would be utterly humiliating. They apologised profusely and the manager even offered to walk me and my groceries (that I didn't return) back to my vehicle. Regardless, the embarrassement of being falsely accused in such a way as to shame me publicly - when I did absolutely nothing wrong, has forever ruined shopping at the Waynesville Publix. Thankfully, I still have all the Sarasota Publix locations.

The ordering process is easy and soooo much better than traveling from store to store to find what we want. I'm in love with Mother Earth - it's almost a dream come true. My first indication of trust was seeing that the Hickory Nut gap beef was the same price with them as it is at Ingles. Their prices on a few items may be slightly more than a few places in town - but it's being delivered straight to my door. The selection is fantastic and the baskets are totally customizable. I hope this service lasts forever!!!!

They have a huge greenhouse they grow all of this beautiful organic produce in. We are big on supporting local and eating seasonally. This is a great discovery! They also have fresh organic eggs. You can buy garden starts here too! They will make your own custom garden packages for those of us that like to garden but don't have a proper greenhouse to get our plants really strong in the spring because of that late frost! They also have a cute little store you can get ice cream and other treats in. As well as lots of games and activities!!

I've purchased many rubs, salts, spices, and sugars from them over the years and all of them have been amazing. I especially like their smoked salts. I like to bake giant chocolate chip cookies and sprinkle them with the smoked salt crystals to give them an extra layer of flavoring. You can taste anything you want such as the salts or sugars or rubs, just ask one of the associates to help you. You can smell anything you like yourself by just opening the jars and taking a nice whiff. Many items come in bags and some come in shakers. If you get something coarse you can ask for a grinder top that goes on your shaker for when you want smaller particles. I love the butchers blend general purpose seasoning for many things. My kids love the cinnamon sugar shaker with a grinder top....the put it on everything and we frequently run out. In addition to salts, spices, and sugars they have a huge tea selection. And before you scoff at the prices, just remember it takes just a tiny amount of these high quality loose leaf teas to make a cup of tea. Teas that you buy in the store are not fresh and are harvested too early, commercialized, and it requires a lot more to get the flavor you want. So these tiny bags of tea really do last a long time. I like to look up ancient tea and herbal blends online and then buy all the components here and make my own teas to try and then adjust the recipes to my liking. They often have some free samples of tea and other items to try hot or cold in the store, just ask. For me this is a store I always stop at when visiting Asheville.
