Wendy–
More we have in common. I go to the Trader Joe’s twice a week because of the great food offerings, the fun staff, the new recipes for their dish of the day and the fact that it’s less than a mile from my house. Trader Joe’s is my favorite store! And by the way, I always use my Trader Joe’s bags so that I’m not killing a tree when I go to shop.
Karen,
So lucky you are to only live a mile away! I was headed to Trader Joe’s on Sunday (about a 15-20 minute drive) and discovered I didn’t have my wallet. I was so disappointed! Luckily, it ends up it had fallen out of my pocketbook and was down by the passenger door (clearly a sign of my driving)!. So all was not lost and I was able to get my shopping done. I don’t know what I’d do without TJs!
