Inventory turnover is fast

Products you love can disappear. I've had three favorite items discontinued this year. Buy in bulk when you find a winner.

Checkout interaction is the brand

Cashiers actually talk to you. It's a small thing, but going to Trader Joe's vs a Whole Foods self-checkout feels like a different category of activity.

House brands consistently good

Probably 80% of what I buy is private label. Frozen Indian dishes, dark chocolate peanut butter cups, mandarin chicken. Quality vs price ratio is unbeaten.
