trader joes

Why have I not known about the amazingness of this store before now?? There is one 5 min down the road from my new job on the way home...I decided to go check it out on my lunch break. OMG the cheese selection alone!! I spent at least 10 minutes staring at it!

What are your favorite things from there? I'm definitely going back at quittin time, there is a goats milk brie calling my name!!

Re: trader joes

where on earth do i start? everytime i go i discover new fantasticness!

apple slices
sweet potato fries (the fresh ones in the veggie section)
basically all of their frozen veggie preparations
their greek yogurt is amazing (i like the 2% but the 0% is also delish)
love their frozen fish filets...they're flash frozen so in theory they're actually fresher than fresh fish in a supermarket bc they're frozen moments after its caught
almond butter with sea salt YUM
sunflower seed butter
veggie chips with flax seed YUM
wine country chicken salad
grape leaves
three layer hummus
freeze dried strawberries (great addition to oatmeal or cereal)
masala spiced veggie burgers
marinated pot roast

LOVEEE trader joe's. I just went there today.

The chili lime chicken burgers are sooo good. I got those and better'n peanut butter, some eggplant garlic spread.

I feel so weird cuz whenever I go I stand there and calculate the points for everything. I feel like people are staring at me with my little calculator.
