My sister in NY and I love Trader Joe's, for their organic foods selection and pricing. I have to see, if there's one in my area. Thanks for the reminder! :D

| Trader Joes is awesome, except for the fat old Russians that move REALLY slow and the occasional screaming hippy loitering outside. It's still well worth it to go there though. |

| Trader Joe's is awesome, great place to get booze. The regular food is fantastic albeit a little expensive. However, their wine selection is the ! Bunny and I got 8 bottles of wine and a bottle of champagne for $30. |

orange chicken + jasmine rice = feeds two and is damn tasty for cheap! |
I've never been much on Trader Joe's, but I've never been able to find a place that sells decent Orange Chicken (which is the best food in the world). I think I'll be stopping by there one of these days.
God, I'm hungry now. |

I shop at Trader Joe's every week, the prices in general for stuff like meats, cooking oil, sauces, fruits, juices, etc are pretty expensive
her list was nothing more than cheeses, tea, what else...chips?
"olive tapenade
- salsa autentica
- tomato and basil marinara
- whole wheat penne noodles"
i can't live on that crap, i need my meats, fish, veggies everything and i usually end up spending 80 - 100 dollars each trip, not exactly inexpensive for a college student.
so shove that rolley eye up your ass |

yeah same, i was really hesitant to try it, but one of my friends swore by it and i always get chinese with him so i know we got the same standards
honestly, its suprisingly good
not quite restaurant quality, but still holds its own
and definitely get it with the jasmine rice (i think its jasmine)
the rice is in the freezer section, maroon-ish box, rice is microwavable and comes out suprisingly nice |
