I live across the street from one. It's effectively my pantry, so I go there quite a bit, but the same way they have opportunistic products I'm shopping opportunistically half the time. If it wasn't so close (and Safeway wasn't so shitty) I'd probably go much less frequently, but I can't complain much.
Their produce has gotten a little better, their meat too. Some staples are variable (eggs only in Jumbo size, shit for olive oil, mayonnaise 1 week before it expires), but if you go there with an open mind and relatively frequently.
No - Grocery outlet sells name brands at a discount, but you never know what will be there. Kind of like a Ross/Marshalls for food. Trader Joes only sells its own private label.
