They have items that you don't find in the grocery stores and the prices are competitive.

For instance, even though you can find bagged kale at every grocery store, the TJ's bagged kale (not the organic one) has the curly ends and no stems.

They carry Pork Belly and Thomcord grapes.

The juice blends are very unique (Ginger Lemonade is my fave).

The fresh flowers last much longer than the grocery stores and my local florist.

I could go on, but that's a start.

I'm glad you mentioned that because I love TJ's flowers and agree they last much longer than other places that sells flowers.

They are sinfully good!

I think I'm happy they aren't sole in the store I go to. I think.
