    Whipping Cream

    Well, I tried to take a short cut by using their shelf life whipping cream. I failed to check the date and well today it was an epic failure. It was solid after being in the fridge, and then I realized they were expired

    This Trader Joe's is frequently cleared out, but we got steaks from here the other day and they were just as good as any restaurant filet I've had. This could be because of the way we seasoned it and cooked it, but the meat was amazing. We also got everything we needed to make a gluten free French onion pasta for less than $10. I can guarantee that would not be the case at Molly stones or Whole Foods. The line goes really quickly and the baggers are always friendly! PSA / life hack: always park in the lower parking lot. There is never a line and it is very easy to get in and out of. Message me for recipe :)

    Trader Joe's is truly an Amazing American Institution....yeah it's now owned by a German family/company ( also owners of Aldi) but it started in little Monrovia Cali. TJ's is so well run that they keep prices down as best as possible and offer an amazing array of things in a small footprint of a store ( usually 10-20k sq ft). I mean you can find okay fruits and vegetables ( their weakest offering imho). Good baked goods. Actually quite good meats ( their frozen New Zealand beef is amazingly good....and affordable). Good canned goods. And let's not forget the wine and booze. Wines have gotten way better from the days of 2 buck chuck. Nice beer selection too. The fact that it is relatively easy to get in and out is also an added bonus.

    Try the macarons! They're my favorite! I like how I was able to park at the parking lot at the restaurant next to it, since that restaurant closed. There's a sign that says Trader Joe's parking only. The actual parking lot is always too crowded and hard to get out.

Actually, I hardly ever go to Safeway anymore. Shelves are always well stocked, store is very clean, and just a pleasant place to shop at. I've never tried the food at the self-serve buffet, but it usually looks pretty fresh. I like that it's never too crowded here, so you can maneuver your way around the aisles easily.

In one incident over a year ago, another customer verbally harassed me and threatened physical harm while I was shopping. Her child was left unattended and was knocking items over, which I reported to security. The guard failed to do his job and did not intervene appropriately. When a supervisor arrived, the situation was handled much more professionally. I should feel safe shopping in my local market. That guard no longer works there, but the experience was upsetting and difficult to move past. Unfortunately, in January 2026, I encountered similar issues with a new security guard. He has repeatedly followed me around the store without cause. Most recently, he approached me unnecessarily, stood uncomfortably close, and spoke to me in an intrusive manner while I was selecting items. His behavior showed poor training and a lack of respect for personal boundaries. These repeated experiences with security staff are negatively affecting the atmosphere at Woodlands. I am a respectful, regular customer and do not want to feel uncomfortable or monitored without cause when shopping. Proper security training and professionalism are essential for customer safety and trust.

In fact, you can snag some good deals on produce and cheese here if you're willing to try something new. Speaking of produce, it's always beautiful here. I don't think I've ever seen an unappetizing leaf, fruit, or vegetable. I discovered this place after parking in front of it for the nearby library branch on the same day I listened to KEXP for the first time. I was prepping for an upcoming weekend excursion, and while I usually buy my groceries in the South Bay, closer to where I'm headed, I decided to change things up and get (mostly) everything in one fell swoop. I believe I got a prepackaged side dish that was delicious. And some fruits and carrots for the road ahead and the weekend beyond. I've returned a couple of times, and the people who work here have always been kind and helpful. It's a busy little place. Spend even a few minutes here, and you'll hear neighborhood acquaintances having friendly conversations about whatever. I got some really good cheese the last time I was here, after returning a book to the library. Are you sensing a theme?
