Friend asked where in Milwaukee you’re staying and can give more recs based on that.
She said Stackd Burger and Oscars Winner Circle for burgers though.

Lakefront area. Don't mind driving around but rather find something close towards the lake.

Went to Trader Joes for the first time. How did this place get so popular.
I bought some '3 layer' hummus dip and that was good though. Ion even know what hummus is.

Trader Joe's has good stuff. Things that I can't get at my usual grocery store.

Lots of people love their frozen pre-made meals. I just don't do frozen pre-made meals so that isn't a perk for ME.
THeir produce is fairly affordable.
But honestly, once I started going to Aldi/LIDL, I haven't had any desire to even go to a Trader Joe's.
TJ is the Hipster grocery store. Cheaper prices than big boxed grocery stores. (Depending on the item).
They also just carry some things that other places don't.
It isn't for everyone and you aren't "missing out" if you don't get IT.

But like, if you go into any grocery store, they'll carry the same frozen pre-made meals made by different companies who ONLY do that type of frozen meal.
So like is Trader Joes frozen pizza for real gonna be better than Digornos? Digornos been doing nothing but making frozen pizzas for 10 years. You're telling me Trader Joes concocted a recipe and outdid Digorno that quick? Same goes for frozen dino's chicken nuggets, enchilidas, butter chicken or whatever. There are companies knee deep in the game.
But I didn't actually know it was cheaper. I thought it was more expensive. I can see that appeal if that's the case.

I always get the Shumai, bao buns and dumplings, and their Indian frozen meals (usually lamb vindaloo and fish korma)

Yes it just depends on the item whether or not it is cheaper.
For examples, they have a solid/basic marinara sauce that runs you about 1.79 (1.99 for the garlic flavor)
Apples are fairly cheap there depending on the type. (I go with Gala and Pink Lady)
Bananas are cheap.
But to your point about their frozen items vs. The Leading competitors, you are right. I just can't see how they would outdo folks that have decades of experience in the game.
Also, a lot of their junk food items have shorter lists of ingredients so yea you are still being fat but at least you can pronounce each ingredient. (They have a solid Taki alternative).
Not sure how much the glorified TV dinners will run you but they were fairly priced whenever I glanced at them.

I go to Trader Joe’s because their prices are cheaper and their quality is better than equivalents most of the time. Plus I also like the fact that they always paid their employees living wages which were not minimums that most grocery stores do. Their wild caught frozen fish are really hard to beat along with their organic free range eggs and orange juice and make it worth to go single handily to me.

I wouldn’t say you’re necessarily missing out on anything if you aren’t going to Trader Joe’s. We hadn’t gone until the last couple years. Their produce is really good and cheap though. Frozen stuff is top notch and competes with any company out there.
