What makes this better than the Trader Joe's in Piper Glen is definitely the parking situation. I never have problems finding close parking here. As for the store itself, Trader Joe's can do no wrong in my eyes. My favorites in no particular order:
-Bird's Nests (frozen section; shredded veggies tempura fried and delicious!)
-Soy and Ginger carrots (frozen section; shredded carrots--totally delicious!)
-Ginger Senbei (snacks; ginger-flavored, similar to ice cream cone pieces)
-Gluten-free mac n cheese (a big surprise for me and hubby)
-lemongrass coconut stix (frozen section; fantastic!!)
-red curry sauce (add meat and rice and totally easy delicious meal!)
-spices (fresh and cheap--my favorites!)
-Carne Asada (fresh meats--we cut it up and make fajitas--yumm!!!)
-pre-made pizza dough (cheese section--easy and delicious!)
-Peaberry coffee (one of my faves!!)
-Wine section! (make sure to try the cheap wines that are local faves--though I don't like the 2 buck chuck that everyone raves about)
Make sure you have plenty of time to shop when you come--not because they're slow or things are hard to find. You just won't want to leave! We have made Trader Joe's our main grocery store now that I'm on a greener kick these days. They also enter you in a drawing when you bring your own bags (and they only use paper bags when you don't). They also have samples out all the time.
Also, this is some of the cheapest organic food you can find, which is a bonus. I try to buy it whenever possible, but it's always so expensive--Trader Joe's makes it affordable and delicious! Go now--go!!!!
