Whole Foods is a high end supermarket. It is the size of any other supermarket like a Safeway or Albertson's. Their prices are very high, but every once in a while you find some of their items are the same price as any other supermarket. Their quality is excellent, but you pay for it.
Trader Joes is small, more of a boutique supermarket. What they have is excellent, and much of it is their own brand, so they can sell it at the same price as other supermarkets and in some cases even cheaper. For example, a quart of their soy milk is $1.69, and I cannot find anything comprable at other stores for less then $2.29. But the store is small, so the selection is also small.
we have shoped at trader joes before and I liked it. I just didn't know the diffrence. We have to go an hour out to find one. 45 min for whole foods. :( but we go to his moms often an hour and a half north and her town has BOTH stores.

trader joe's confuses me. I can never find anything. The store is so small yet I spend hours looking for one or two products. I prefer whole foods. It's much more user friendly.
Trader joes is too cluttered for me, and it doesn't have a big enough selection for me.
Whole foods has a really large selection and they are super friendly.
