I have never gotten good produce at our TJs with the exception of some melon
spears. Everything else has been rotten, even if not expired. So much so
that I rarely will shop there now. Mainly only go if my mom wants
something. The one in Lynnwood is the closest one to me and it's a PITA to
shop at. Have to drive around and around for a parking spot then usually
wait in line for a long time. Albertsons is practically next door and you
can get pretty much anything you want there.
