Best Grocery Store Ever
Tonight for dinner, we had pork chops with apple almond stuffing, reduced guilt macaroni and cheese, roasted potatoes, and Rosemary, Parmesan, and asiago cheese rolls, all from TJ's. Tom liked it. We would have had TJ's frozen chocolate chip cookie dough, baked to perfection, if we weren't already too full.
In addition to cheap prices and friendly staff, one of the strengths of Trader Joe’s is its carefully curated shelves. No, it doesn’t have nearly the selection of a supermarket, but the items it does stock are so well-chosen you feel as if you are in a food boutique — a boutique where everything is on sale. The items are collected by Trader Joe’s buyers, who travel the globe in search of well-priced, often organic, goodies. And when it comes to packaged goods, the quality is remarkably consistent.

Can you believe that there are no TJ's in Colorado? I miss everything about that grocery store (especially the cheap wine)!
ReplyDeleteAlmost as good as Spec's warehouse in downtown Houston!
