I personally rather like 2-buck-chuck
ReplyDeleteMe too, c! My Atlanta-area foodie/political buddy, fallenmonk (see blogroll), introduced me to it online in about 2011; at the time, there was no Trader Joe's yet in Houston, and by the time one was open for business, I was recovering from my amputation and not doing a lot of discretionary shopping anywhere. But I am in better condition now, and the Trader Joe's is where Book Stop (remember Book Stop?) used to be at Alabama and Shepherd, so we finally made a trip there a few days ago. Yeah, (Two/Three)-Buck Chuck is good; at least some varieties, are quite tasty for a price even a retired American may be able to afford. And Trader Joe's also has some great "ethnic" frozen foods (palak paneer, veggie tamales almost as good as what Teotihuacan serves, etc.); we'll definitely be returning for more!
DeleteI religiously shop at Trader Joe's. I have yet to find anything that has high fructose sugar in it, and I don't think anything there is directly from China.
Deleteellroon - religiously? Do they sell Pope on a Rope? ;-) (Actually, whatever my inclinations toward Benedict may have been, I have no desire to see Francis on a rope; quite the contrary...) Our Trader Joe's is only about 3 or 4 years old, and this particular day they were doing a HUGE business, to the point where navigating the aisles was a bit scary for even one cripple, and we were two. But we managed, and the haul was worth it!
DeleteI saw very little there that troubled my social conscience (I've learned to ignore meat for sale) and a whole lot of really good food and drink. The staff were exceptionally helpful, both in locating stuff and in transporting purchases to the car... free; they refused a tip... for a couple of elderly cripples. No doubt about it; I'll be a repeat customer!
OT, sort of, the location of Trader Joe's is the old Alabama Theater building, which is where I saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show in my (more-or-less) youth and The Sound of Music in my even younger youth.
