First time visit to the new Trader Joe's
on Voss, yesterday. So much better than the Trader Joe's on Shepherd with lots of
space, wide aisles, friendly and helpful employees, great selection of
stuff that you can't get anywhere else. Quinoa and black bean tortilla
chips with fresh salsa, anyone? And items like real wild rice, almonds
and Trader Giotto's Olive Oil for a whole lot less than at 'Whole
Paycheck'. I also like the tricolor quinoa, veggie burgers, organic
tempeh, canned soup, excellent value table wine and I am sure that I
will be finding some new stuff in future. Just a great little shop for vegans and vegetarians. Yes they sell meat and other stuff too but the pre-prepared food section is just bursting with non-meat items, as is the meat-alternative section (tofu, tempeh, no-meat sausage etc).
When we couldn't find some
item a store employee escorted us around the store to two different
areas personally, and the checkout process was quick and painless. No
stupid card needed for discounts, and best of all they don't try to
'force' you to check out yourself, one of my pet peeves. So sayonara
Randalls and Kroger, with a Trader Joe's less than 4 miles from my
house, you are fresh out of a long-time customer.
DietBest progress: Down just one more pound to 181, very close to goal! Will have to be extra-diligent this week to maintain at 181 in order to get my $25 back. Which I will likely use to enter another DietBet right away!
