Default Getting a Trader Joe's

in Raleigh, NC soon, it is under construction near the Costco I never joined
and very close to the Kroger where I shop quite a lot.

At TJ's try their imported Organic Pasta for some reason this formula has a
wonderful taste and more important texture.

I can't remember the last time I was in a TJs, but it's been at least 3
years. Now I gotta make a run just to check out that store-brand uber
dooper flour someone mentioned. Sheesh, I'm practically baking in my
sleep these days!!

How lucky you are. My closest Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are over
2 hours away in Atlanta.

I have never been to a Trader Joe's Sue, so I am looking forward to it.

In my experience their prices for eggs, milk, sour cream, cottage cheese etc
are usually 15 top 25% lower than the big box stores. Check it out if you
use a lot of dairy.

I can imagine you are. I have never been to Trader Joe's either. LOL
When we made the trip down there, it was to go to Whole Foods, and
Trader Joe's wasn't open yet. And we have only been to Whole Foods
twice. It's just too far to go. So, I have to be content for now to go
to Ingles. (3 of them within 7 miles.)

You'll like it. Not a big store, not everything you ever need, but some
items you just won't find at the other stores and the prices are reasonable.

The main negative thing, IMO, is that they hook you on something,
and then it may very well disappear!
