But we timed a mid-afternoon stop today and found tons of stuff. You know they're always great for snacks at good prices, and some percentage of them might not be total sugar-starch bombs. But we got some bad-for-us stuff as a treat. The frozen food is a hit with my lovely bride, though I avoid that hyper-processed stuff as much as possible. We found good hot sauces and wine at great prices. The checker was totally friendly and one of the floaters helped us a ton with our cart situation (my wife needs to use a scooter these days, hopefully not for much longer). I kinda dread the crowds here but a mid-day visit was super pleasant, and you always find good prices on tasty things at TJ's.

Definitely one of the most popular spots in Everett Mall! I…read morewasn't able to find any of the mini tote bags, but I was impressed by how Trader Joe's has its own skincare products and the variety they offer, so I bought some to try. The holiday shopping vibes were clearly present in the store, as I saw people grabbing multiples of the same items to stock up. As usual, the employees were friendly and efficient. Even though the store was crowded, they were able to move the lines very quickly. Overall, I'm still very happy that Trader Joe's is able to keep its prices down in this economy. Parking near Trader Joe's may be difficult, but the mall parking lot is huge, so you can always park a bit farther away and walk.

I am an odd duck who will go to a Winco if I happen to be in the area. None are near home; so if I…read morehappen to be near one, I make sure I go! Their stores are all warehouse style without personality; I am perfectly good with that. I don't expect service, not even a smile. I don't expect to find staff to help with anything. For me, their two most enticing departments remain to be their produce area and bulk foods. We can spend an hour just in these two departments. For produce, we load up on salad items and fruits. The veggies including broccoli tend to be meh; the reason is that everything is straight from the carton without trimming. No hate, just the facts. That is how they keep the cost low. I go elsewhere for veggie greens (except salad lettuce). As for bulk foods, this area is a treasure trove - great selection, good prices, and tends to have good turnaround so the products are fresh. For this most recent first visit to the Everett location, I finally noticed how they label their 'sale' items. Look for green 'Extra Savings' signs. They don't stand out and are not visually eye-catching. Things are simply there in seemingly extra volume. I scored a liter size bottle of Valentina hot sauce for only $2.68. Starkist tuna cans were on sale for $0.88, lower than the typical grocery store sale of $0.99, plus they had the low sodium version in stock. We bought a case of 24. Anyway, go for the prices; don't expect service or ambiance. Winco can be the best. Oh, and they open 24 hours! BUT, no credit cards. Debit, EBT, or cash only.

My husband and I recently made a late-night pilgrimage to check out the "YouTube famous" WinCo, and…read morelet me tell you, it's quite the experience. Walking in, the ambiance is essentially "Costco: Industrial Edition." It's a massive warehouse of pure, unadulterated grocery chaos. While I wasn't exactly blown away by the prices on the name-brand items, the WinCo house brand is practically a steal--often half the cost! The real showstopper, however, is the bulk bin section. It takes up at least a quarter of the entire store. You could legitimately get lost in there and start a new life among the quinoa and gummy bears. A word to the wise: WinCo is strictly "Cash or Debit only." I was blissfully unaware of this little quirk until I reached the register, and I narrowly escaped a walk of shame only because I happened to have some cash on me. Consider yourself warned!

The produce section continues to rock, as do the superb meat and seafood sections. The former asian section is mostly mixed in now, and that is fine. It still has a huge variety of top-quality items. Cheese has shrunk a bit since the new restaurant opened, but it's still good. Deli meats are a little less appealing, but still good. This is a wonderful grocer, neck-and-neck with the other local/regional high-end grocer, Metropolitan Market. Of the two, I prefer T&C. Both are great.

Snide and snobby. I was in total shock at how we were treated. Never going back…read more We would go for the absolute best produce around, but found everything else extremely expensive. We stayed out of the middle aisles, shopping on the edges. The last time we were in, the original sushi people were gone, replaced by some run of the mill contractor with fishy tasting garbage. This time, prices were unbelievable. We all know that Covid affected the supply chain and things got expensive. The supply chain has been fine for awhile, yet everything is ridiculously expensive. I am not poor. I think I have a relatively decent income. When I mentioned that I was likely to stop including this store as a regular option, I was met with death stares. Seriously? We were followed to our car and asked to not come back. Seriously? I actually went back inside and took photos of the staff running away from me. We weren't violent. We didn't cuss. We weren't loud. We just called you out for being a money-hungry conglomerate charging as much as the richest customer will pay. You should be ashamed at how exclusionary your store really is. And obviously your staff isn't trained on anything remotely close to empathy. If they were, there attitude would have been much better. Effen Mill Creek snobs.

I always get the Iced Honey Vanilla latte, and it's only $5, compared to most cafes which are about $6.50-7. It tastes so good and the staff are very nice and quick. I don't often shop here for groceries, but if I need a nice deli lunch or coffee and I'm in the area, I come here! Also a very convenient Amazon package return station here which I've used before. So that's a nice bonus as well.

It feels like something from a specialty bakery without the markup. The coffee selection and prepared coffee are also consistently impressive. Great price for the quality, smooth flavor, and never bitter or burnt tasting. It has become my go to when I need something reliable for hosting or just grabbing something quick that still tastes high end. I also love the convenience of having an amazon partnership here so i can return and pick up packages easily here. The workers here are consistently warm and welcoming which makes me want to come back.

In short Still a very solid grocery store with a…read moreparticularly good emphasis on produce, seasonings, and good meat and fish. In long Maybe it's just me, but it seems like they used to stock a much wider variety of specialty produce (among other things) here. The shelves and cases are all still full, and the quality is good. But you used to walk through here and see at least half a dozen things that practically no other stores had on hand. They still have good stuff, though--no doubt. The bakery section was super tempting, and there were dozens of choices among meat, fish, and poultry. The produce section is really big for this size of store--imagine if Trader Joe's focused on fruit and veg instead of snacks and frozen stuff, and you have a general picture of the ratio. Prices are a bit higher here than TJ, but not unreasonable. Quality is very good (esp. on produce). There are long aisles of shelf-stable condiments, packaged stuff, tons of spices. They definitely aim first at the home cooks who think of themselves as home cooks, and secondly at the folks who just know they need good groceries. Beer and wine are just a few basics, maybe half a small aisle. They had a few solid manager's specials going today, and the staff were all very nice (if not very bubbly). I'd happily shop here if I didn't have to drive past half a dozen other supermarkets that are all good options. So, I'd shop here if I lived in Mill Creek, essentially.

It's super convenient and easy to stop by, which makes it part of my routine at this point. One thing I really appreciate is how consistently kind the staff is. Whether I go during the day or later at night, everyone is always friendly and helpful, which makes a big difference. I also feel really safe shopping here, which is something I don't take for granted. The store itself always feels clean and well-kept, and the food options are actually really good. I love browsing their deals too--you can find some great stuff without spending a ton. Overall, it's just a really reliable, positive shopping experience every time I go. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Mill Creek! :D
