| - Before a big move, most people check out the quality of schools, housing market, and overall affordability of the area . However, before I accepted my current job and moved 500 miles to Pittsburgh, I did what any self-respecting twenty-something non-profit working dork would do: make sure I'd be in close proximity to the glory that is Trader Joe's.
I work in the arts, so I'm not exactly raking in the cash, but that doesn't mean I can't eat well. High quality food, low prices, excellent produce, and fantastic frozen entree/appetizer section. I'm not a gourmet chef, but if I ever have a cocktail party and want to fool people into thinking I am, I'm coming straight to TJ's (I always drool over the spanakopita and mini quiches). The dark chocolate covered espresso beans are my go-to treat.
Also, unlike Whole Foods up the street, the parking lot here is not a nightmare, and free samples are always available.
