The best groceries in the whole wide world
New age type people talk about mystic alignments and energy points on the globe. I've been to quite a few. Sedona was amazing, although I think the people have attached to it like lamphreys. For me, mystical spots usually are easy to find. In N Out Burgers, Taco Box in Clovis, the Big Shashlik in Samarkand. Food is a mystery to me, and it usually develops negative energy once it resides in my fridge.
However, last weekend we went to Trader Joe's, the best grocery store in the world
. For those poor people still toiling through the Walmarts and C-towns of the world, there is a paradise known as Trader Joe's. I had no idea that they had expanded to the east coast until recently, but I now take every opportunity to go there.
These opportunities are rare, as they are located in wicked wicked suburbia. Fortunately for me, so is Jones Beach. I loaded up for the next three months. As long as you loosely define healthy, everything in the cart was healthy. I bought 12 jars of salsa, about 30 packages of cookies, pralines, chocolate covered blueberries, and some low carb bars. I'm sure those will offset the items made with butter as the primary ingredient. Grand total on visa? $216. The enjoyment I get from their ginger snaps? Priceless.

I recognize some of those items! :-) There's 3 out here and I do admit going there since there's a few of their items I like but I'm not too crazy about their frozen entrees (I've hac better) But I do like their some of their fresh stuff in the refridgerated cases.

I forgot to mention that I could basically be one of those people that lives on cookies and snacks. Trader Joe's has the ultimate snacks.
