@doctor.nicolej: I’ve officially been in the US for 9 months and I can’t believe it. Wanted to share my biggest culture shocks since moving here! It’s been a wild ride already but I’m loving it for sure #BlackTikTok #blackwomen #us #chicago #uktiktok
Trader Joe’s is expensive! At least do Whole Foods.

You need to try other grocery stores. Isn’t Meijers in the Midwest?

If you haven’t shopped at JewelOsco, that’s my suggestion instead of TJs for most groceries. They’re all over Chicago.

As a flight attendant living in Texas who goes to London monthly, I do a M&S run for cheese yogurt and other staples. Groceries are definitely more expensive in the US.

Doctor!!! You should consider getting a Costco subscription. It’s how we get groceries. We buy in bulk; it’s a wholesale store with fresh stuff!!!!

True about groceries. Trader Joe’s is not for produce, but overall known for being cheaper than other stores… especially beer and wine. And great snacks.

There are 9 regions....the east coast, New England, the south (where this starts is up to debate), the mid-west, Texas, the mountains, the pacific northwest, the desert, and the west coast.
