On top of what the other comments say, he will almost always point out that you can find a product cheaper at thrive market, doing a sponsored video at a competitor's location, and not just thrive.

The same thing happens to Thomas DeLauer…getting the boot at Trader Joe’s. Sometimes he just resorts to taking pictures of the items/prices then gives a breakdown of the products in studio. Thanks for the info Bobby!

Maybe Trader Joe's should watch this video and see how complimentary it is! Bobby is highly recommending their products! In fact, he says "best on the planet" more than once! Hey TJ - every time I see one of these videos I add items to my TJ shopping list!

Those ancient grain rolled oats make the best overnight oats imaginable. It's just enough chia seeds to make the milk turn thick and feel like cream and I use an organic monk fruit and vanilla extract to sweeten it. It's epic. It really doesn't need to wait overnight btw. I like my oats a little chewy also, so overnight is sub-optimal for me, but still delicious. Anyways when I go to eat it I throw in some crumbled up granola from this video. It's almost criminally delicious.

But I found a great recipe with organic oatmeal, almonds, honey for so cheap and it’s soooo good! So easy to make 😊

I don’t see Roses dressing recipe. Maple horseradish sounds yummy. I would love to try it.

I love that chocolate chip cookie mix so much. When I mix it up I use peanut butter or almond butter in place of oil, and the texture is even better, if you like peanut butter cookies it's amazing. I freeze them once baked and take one out when I'm craving something sweet.

Only a few managers for whole store. All the employees you see are interchangeable. Most grocery stores have managers over each section in the store which they have to pay an inflated salary.

I missed the cauliflower rounds~ I’ve wanted a dupe for the expensive Outer Aisles! Last time, TJ’s didn’t have those eggs in stock, but I have gotten them before. at 3 dollars and change so much better than the pasture raised at Fresh Market & my other grocery, at 7 dollars and change!

When I go to an independent coffeeshop I would ask the baristas if they mind if I take a photo of the place, few times I have taken photos without permission. In general the policy of stores do not allow that you take photos or video inside, he got booted out that's the price you pay for being vlogger.

Hi Bobby. Thank you for all you do to help us become healthier! I saw on the news regarding organic products. Starting in March, all the organic labels must have USDA ORGANIC on them. The eggs that you told us on the video didn't have the USDA ORGANIC on it. It said that organic only 75%. Please tell me on your next video. Thank you. I hope that you understand my writing ❤️🌞

Thank you for doing the hard work of checking out all these grocery items! I didn’t see Rose’s dressing recipe. Did I over look it?

Bobby, today I found pasture raised heirloom chicken breasts and thighs at TJs!! I was sooo excited! They are sold in packages of about 1 lb and priced $7.99/lb and $7.49/lb I believe. You have to try them! They’ve always had pasture raised heirloom whole chicken but this is the first time I’ve seen the breasts and thighs which are much easier to handle. Looking forward to trying them!

Since I started reading ingredients lists and following your advice, my gut problems have completely stopped. It scares me that there’s so much bad stuff we can put in our body even when we think we’re eating healthy.

I’m a life long shopper at TJ, and while I don’t buy every product I will say it is by far the friendliest alongside Whole Foods, and their prices are very fair. I would be lost without their ciabatta bread, frozen almond turnovers, chocolate coated biscotti bars, fresh corn tortillas, and raspberry Greek yogurt… along with so much more. You really can’t compare the 2 stores, Trader Joe’s inventory is a small, mostly store brand selection, that also caters to a “select” crowd like Whole Foods. Few stores are perfect. That said, every store deserves the right to deny their customers the right to use it as a private filming studio. Not all self made videos are kind let alone true. Take your products home and set up a nice vignette to do your video. Everybody’s happy, come on people it’s not that hard. Be nicer here in your comments, everybody's doing the best they can.

I worked at Trader Joe's for five years, There's a lot of good items there however in their fresh prepared meals section they use canola oil in a lot of them also the reason the prices are lower than other stores is because almost every item is their own brand even though it's made by a lot of the name brand companies so they cut out the middle man and pass those savings on to the customers also all the eggs, Milk and Cheese is artificial hormone free and antibiotic free. And make sure to check the nutritional facts on the frozen meals as most of them overloaded with sodium.

I was wondering what kind of vitamins you give to Rose? My kids (7 and 3) have been getting sick a lot lately my daughter is a very picky eater so it’s hard to get natural nutrients in her. What kind of vitamin and/or super foods do you recommend to boost their immunity?
