Mary Williams+FollowWest Roxbury’s new Trader Joe’s is a game changerA familiar corner in West Roxbury has a whole new vibe now that Trader Joe’s has taken over the old Walgreens spot on Centre Street.

Locals are already making it part of their daily routine, and it’s quickly become a neighborhood anchor. What do you think—does this kind of smart reuse make the area feel more connected, or do you miss the old Walgreens? #Food #WestRoxbury #TraderJoes00Share
mary01+FollowTrader Joe’s Misses: Fans Spill the TeaTrader Joe’s stans are usually obsessed, but even they have some major no-go’s. The truffle ravioli? Apparently so bad you’ll want to brush your tongue. The veggie pad thai and ranch dressing also get roasted, and don’t even ask about the mini tacos—people say they taste like cardboard now. But don’t worry, the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and Mandarin Orange Chicken are still holy grail status. What’s your TJ’s must-skip or must-buy? #Food #TraderJoes #GroceryFails00Share

Mary Williams+FollowTrader Joe’s Flops You’ll Want to SkipTrader Joe’s is a snack lover’s paradise, but not every item is a winner. From overpriced milk and meh paper towels to those infamous cauliflower pizza crusts, some TJ’s picks just aren’t worth your cash. Fresh berries and bakery bread? Pass—go for frozen or shelf-stable instead. And don’t even get me started on those peas and carrots gummies. Save your money for the real gems and leave these duds behind! #Food #TraderJoes #GroceryFails10Share
