Absolutely - ITA. TJ's is a quirky store and I love it that way. Every
time I go in there (usually for something specific), I find something
*else* and, as another poster commented, they often have really
interesting plant offerings on your way in the store. I bought some
gorgeous poinsettias in late November that were much nicer looking
than the ones at (local garden shop) Armstrong's and $2 cheaper to
boot, but what really caught my eye a couple of weeks ago was some
beautiful heather! Big, fat, fluffy speciments, 3 of which are
residing on my front porch. Score!

TJ's also has some spices I can't get locally anyplace else, and some
of their frozen food offerings are unique and generally very good.
