If I could have one fantasy come true, it would be that I could go to Trader Joe's one day and purchase everything I could possibly want (and many of each my favorites) without having to worry about how much money I was spending.
This does not imply that Trader Joe's is expensive, that s far from the truth. It just suggests the state of my own finances. Here is an example of great prices: One day I was in there when they were sampling Boursin cheese. This typically comes in a small package. Trader Joe's was asking $3.00 and some change for it. The same day I saw the exact same cheese at Giant Eagle for $7.00 and some change.
I have never found an item there that was not quality and that I did not like. I love this store. The help is always friendly and courteous. I love that it is a small store, but make a point to avoid it on weekends because it can get crowded. I never have trouble with over crowding on week days. Whole Foods is for yuppies. Trader Joe's is for real people.
