I can see Trader Joe’s working for single individuals or just 2 adults who aren’t good at cooking but for me it didn’t make sense to go there. I usually go to aldi or other local stores. I do go out of my way to get the Target good gather brand oat milk because it’s the one I liked the most of all of the ones I’ve tried.

So I used to work for whole foods. Some of the items he bought just weren't the equivalents. Now whole foods can be hella expensive. But there basics are relatively the same price. The cheddar there is the same price. I get my pack of 18 eggs for 3.99 while at traders I get 12 for 2.50/3. And the oj he got was the fresh squeezed compared to the regular oj. I get the big 32 oz. pulp one from whole foods that the same quality for 2.99. I am a big price oriented shopper. Per oz. / quality should equate in comparisons. I love traders and wf, but I understand it is one of those things that warrants proper investigation that not everybody wants to put the time into. Like I get my condiments like ketchup, mayo, and mustard from traders but I'll get some of my meats from wf instead. Cause fish/seafood at traders be wildin.

Those two orange juices are not a valid comparison. The juice from Whole Foods is freshly pressed. You can do it yourself or grab one that the store pressed. The machine is usually located in the produce section of the store. Whole Foods also sells a more similar OJ to the one you bought from TJ closer to the milk section - at a much lower cost.
