Agreed that the TJs in Vauxhall is often overran. I try to stop there during times that are not too busy (midday, midweek) but it is SUPER convenient to have WF and TJs close to each other, which is why I suggested that particular location. If I was going to just WF, I would suggest the one in Weehawken (tiny, but usually has everything I need, plus I get to charge my car while shopping) or the ones in Montclair if I feel like shopping at a large location. For TJs, we have Hoboken close by, but it is always crowded, and there's little else in that area, so it becomes a one store trip. I try to maximize my trips by combining them because I generally despise driving in this area.

Alternatively, there is the option of driving to Westfield, where there's a TJs with a liquor license, right next to a Stop & Shop, with a WF down the street a mile away. And, heck, if one is feeling nostalgic, there is a Charlie Brown's Steakhouse down the road from TJs (one of only two surviving locations!) where you can grab a bite after going grocery shopping.
