I’m obsessed with Trader Joes. I just love that place. In the small store and six isles I seem to be able to find just about everything I need.
They suck you into their cute grocery store from the minute you walk in. How? The flowers are on the right upon entering – who can resist purchasing a nice bouquet of flowers for $3.99? Not me – they just instantly brighten my day.
Then they have a product they want you to try – prominently on display – like an organic pear/peach or a white apricot. It intrigues you because you may have never seen it before or it’s only $1.99. Yep, those end up in my basket every time. Oh, that’s the other thing. The only way I can resist a complete shopping binge is by carrying a basket and not getting a cart. Although, I have been known to carry a basket that is so full, items begin to fall out. That is when I know I must proceed directly to the check out.
Some of my favorites finds at Trader Joes include:
- The Trader Joes’s brand of Tomato Basil Hummus – base ingredient tomatoes – yum!
- Peppers, cucumbers, celery – the basics
- Mini whole wheat, fiber filled 80 calorie muffins – off-season my friends 🙂
- Frozen asparagus that is grilled flavored
- Salsa – any of it – the peach variety by Trader Joes is my personal favorite
- Peanut butter – do I need to elaborate?
- Sweet potatoes in the perfect size
- Kashi cereals galore
