Trader Joe's

Fun, convenient, and inexpensive - and there are always interesting options to mix up the menu, like fresh figs. RTE foods are hit and miss, as are the frozen dinners - the Mandarin Chicken is good for meat-eaters, and as a vegetarian I can usually find healthy options for myself. Their produce section is much-maligned for not being fresh, but I have always gotten fresh produce there - the potatoes tend to sprout pretty quickly if not used, but I think that might have to do with them not being sprayed? In general, I love going to this store - you just hit a bad dish every once in a while.



Oh, and the cookie butter is just like any other speculoos spread - biscoff at Winco is the same exact thing.
