I LOVE Trader Joe's. My favorite items there are the Sprouted Wheat bread, their organic coffees, their soy and flaxseed tortilla chips and chipotle salsa, and their ready to heat Taco??-(without bread, it's hamburger with cheese and sour cream...I love it! The thing to do is to only buy certain items there. Don't grocery shop there. My first visit there was with my sister-n-law who spent $150 on three half filled bags. If it weren't for the coffee and how much I loved it that probably would be the last time I went. But, in going back I could see that they have a lot of deals, you just have to look for them and not do your bulk shopping there. They have some already made pizza dough I'm gonna get one day for a fast dinner for Lea, they have some really good ginger candy, its real ginger candied. Just buy a little and you'll be fine.

I like the 2 Buck Chuck! They sell Charles Shaw wine that is $2 a bottle. We don't have a local trader joes which is probably a good thing.

What is Trader Joes? I know we have one not too far from me!! just not sure what it is?

One wonderful thing about TJ is that you can return pretty much anything. They have signs all over the store "we tried, we liked it, you try it, if you don't like it, bring it back". I am not saying you should buy something, eat half and return it, but it makes me feel more comfortable buying something, knowing that they stand behind their product.
TJ and Wegman is all I need!!

They have great deals on their wine and at Christmas time they have boxed chocolates at great prices. They make great gifts.
