Trader Joe’s

If you are a whole foods fanatic I strongly recommend making the switch to Trader Joe’s. Having working for WFM in the past I prefer the quality and freshness provided by Trader Joe’s. The value is far greater than WFM and the people are generally less obnoxious.

I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease a few days ago. Since I haven’t done too much research on it yet, I decided to venture to TJ’s in Saugus to see what I could find. I walked up and down every aisle grabbing everything and anything that said gluten free on it. As I was walking to the register I was feeling a little defeated because I could only find a few things that said «gluten free» on it. PETER, my cashier, saw all of my items and we started talking about gluten free foods. I told him I was just recently diagnosed, so I had NO idea what I should buy. He offered to grab me a list of everything GF that is sold in the store. He came back and told me there weren’t any left but he was going to print one up for me as soon as we were done. He came back with a multiple page list of every GF item sold at Trader Joe’s and a package of GF cupcakes that he so generously wanted to give me! I know it’s not the end of the world, but I was feeling pretty upset about the whole no more gluten thing. Peter really did make my night! Trader Joe’s in Saugus is so lucky to have Peter as an employee. People like him are hard to come by! Thank you SO much Peter!

I spend less money at Trader Joe’s than I ever spent at Stop & Shop or Shaw’s. This place is well-​maintained, the food is great and the staff is super friendly. I’ve never had a problem here! I won’t do my food shopping anywhere else.

I love trader Joes.
It’s small enough to not get lost and get your shopping done quickly. They have a wide variety of foods; organic types, store brands, or different cultural dishes. Plus, bonus points for having a free samples stand.

I love this Trader Joes! Less busy than the Peabody location. I drive a little farther to shop here, but it is worth it!

I have never had a bad experience at Trader Joe’s in general. The staff is friendly and outgoing. The food although on the pricey side, is it 100% worth the extra money.

I love this store. The paring is good the staff is friendly. The food is good, what more can a person want

I love Trader Joe’s. Just not this one. Most stores have a problem with a need to discontinue items and they’re usually ones you’ve fallen in love with and start to look at as a staple in your pantry. I really hate it when I go there and they’re out of something I wanted or they have discontinued it. Today was the worst instance of that ever.
Let’s see. First item was the organic salted crunchy peanut butter. How can you be out of such a popular item. It’s BS I tell ya. If they’re out, someone isn’t doing their job. 2^nd item on the list was The Pounder chocolate. The red one. Not only do they keep this in a different place than all the other stores I’ve been in, forcing me to ask where it is, but they were out of the red one. WTF! Oh, and here’s the clincher. NO WINE!!! Something about a stupid Mass. alcohol law where they are not a selected store. Well Massachusetts, select this!
A note to TJ’s, especially this one. Just know that if I’m making a special trip to get the aforementioned staples, you’d better have them or I’m automatically going to be in a foul mood by the time I get to the register. And, I was.

A little Jeckyll and Hyde with this store (and most Joe’s). I love most Joe’s brand items and their selection of out-​of-​the-​ordinary items easily surpasses the larger chains. We love their tuna, cherry preserves, eggplant spread and cereals. The employees are extremely courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, and visible. It is always a pleasure shopping there. My major problem is the produce. You put a peach in your cart and it’s almost rotten by the time you check out. We’ve found this with all of the fruits and vegetables. They look so pretty on display but have no real shelf life.
We still shop there, but we pick and choose what we buy. Now, we’re never disappointed!

I love this store. The price is considerably reasonable in comparison to local supermarkets and health food stores. They always have high quality food and high quality customer service. No matter where I lived in the North Shore area, I did not mind the drive to this store because it was always a pleasure to shop there. I only wish there was a store near my new home!

I’ve found this to be one of the best Trader Joe’s around. Very clean. Helpful friendly employees. Great parking. High-​quality items at a decent price. Highly recommended.

One of the best trader Joes’ I have been to. I came here on a Sunday when one would expect the shelves to not be fully stocked. I was wrong and they had everything I needed in stock. I love the rainbow chard they sell at trader joes and it’s normally hard to find in stores. They had several packages and they had not gone bad. The line to pay moved fast and they took returns without attitude. Parking was easy which is always a plus. My only complaint is the sample they were serving was not vegetarian friendly.

Nicest employees ever. They go above and beyond to help you out with any needs. I wish they Had beer and wine at this one, but regardless they usually have everything I need.

Excellent TJs location — these guys have it right. Employees are always helpful, take pride in their store and jobs, and ask if you need help. The check-​out clerks/​baggers are so friendly and bag your goods perfectly. Bravo!

Typical Trader Joe’s in most respects — cheap quality stuff, not as much organic as I’d like, but all the Trader Joe’s brand items are great — but the main problem is they don’t sell liquor.

Happy its local and decent food and great flower prices!

Love there healthy food selection!

Love Love Love Trader Joe’s! They are so friendly at this location. You have to try the Shepherd’s bread… makes the best toast EVER!

Friendly staff and convenient location. Always has good selection of everything. I wish they always had the Trader Joe’s Burrata in stock. I got it once and still have yet to see it again. But one of the staff members told me they get it when they can. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

This newer Trader Joe’s is really no bigger than the Cambridge store. It has the same great selection of products with the exception of alcoholic beverages (this store carries none).
TJ’s is always a better value than regular supermarkets. It’s a great place to buy healthy snack items such as nuts and dried fruit. The fresh produce section is also filled with great values of high quality fresh fruit and vegetables. There’s a lot more to like about Trader Joe’s, and once you try them you’re sure to make other items you’re personal favorites too.
The Cambridge store has a bit more «Bohemian energy vibe» (or whatever you call it), but the staff in Saugus is equally friendly and courteous.
It’s unfortunate that the Swampscott store closed, but I’m glad this new Saugus Trader Joe’s opened.
