I love Trader Joe's. The product that got me hooked is the dark chocolate edamame.
This store is in a fairly busy plaza. I parked a bit further away and walked it. It was such a warm day in Charlotte that I left my jacket in the car and walked in.
Sadly, there was no dark chocolate edamame to be found. Oh, the disappointment that washed over my face! Luckily, Trader Joe's has so many other awesome items that I was okay after a good cry.
I tried out Thai shrimp potstickers. They were so good! I had them for dinner the following day and breakfast the day that I left Charlotte to head home. Boil, pan fry, or microwave, they taste good no matter how you heat them up.
I also got individual packets of matcha green tea. Oh, my gosh. I tried one when I got back to the hotel. The taste is incredible. I love matcha green tea. You shake it up in a bottle of water and it dissolves perfectly.
I also have a thing for mints. I got my usual Trader Joe's green tea-infused mints. I also got the coconut lime mints. I love the former and found a new flavour to love.
The cashier and I had a good chat. She also wanted to try the coconut lime mints. I love when you purchase items that make someone else salivate with you.
The aisles at the store are pretty wide. I didn't deal with any obnoxious shoppers, so it was a decent shopping experience.
I am hoping that the dark chocolate edamame isn't gone for good. Here's hoping.
