In NYC, Trader Joe's is by far my go-to store for groceries, as the chain sells everyday meal ingredients and snack products that are cheaper on average than local supermarkets and delis.
After taking a look around, I headed over to the cashiers, where there was no line in sight — a rare phenomenon at a Trader Joe's in NYC.
I bought a salad, grapes, and a pack of Chili and Lime Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips.
I also picked up some dates. I wanted to buy peanut butter, too, to make one of my favorite chocolate-covered stuffed date recipes, but I discovered Pronto doesn't stock peanut butter. Ultimately, I ended up having to walk over to the full-sized Trader Joe's next door to grab it, which to me perfectly sums up the experience.
The grab-and-go store is a solid option if shoppers are on the hunt for a quick snack or lunch while in the vicinity.
Otherwise, you might as well go to a normal Trader Joe's. It's got everything Trader Joe's Pronto has — and more.
