Makes me not miss it as much...

That's so perfect! :D

(Especially perfect is the part about favorite things they don't have any more. Chimichurri sauce I put on roast beef and cheddar sandwiches? Gone. Italian salsa fresca that I made pasta sauce from? Gone.)

That's what Trader Joe's does -- it buys from food retailers that can't make enough to meet the demand of the big-box stores. So... they risk your anger to support small business and variety.

...but I want my cheese-less pizza back too :(

That's what I gathered. It also limits how rapidly they can spread to new locations.

(More favorite items that went away: flatiron steak and spicy chicken chorizo.)

The song is full of awesome!

... Especially that Sample the same 5 days in a row. I knew a store that didn't change their sample in a month!

That song is a freakin' earworm! 1/2 hour later it's still going through my head. Arrrgh.

Perfectly sums it up. Trader Joe's -- a nice place to shop, but not the place you grocery shop.

...and their brands of hummus taste like someone threw a battery in the mix :P

Even still -- I enjoy their stores :)

That rocks!
I kinda wish we had Trader Joe's out here now.
