Trader Joe's opened up in our part of town on Monday. One opened in South Charlotte a few months ago, but not really knowing what TJ's is, that's a little far for me to travel for groceries. My friend Kelly has been telling me since I've known her what a great place TJ's is. I've been a little sceptical. I mean really, it's a grocery store, right?! Well, Kelly and I planned to meet there on Monday morning when they opened. She was going to show me the ropes, so to speak. On the way there, she called me and said her youngest had just thrown up in the parking lot, so she was headed home. I decided to go anyway...I mean I was already on my way, right? I bought a few thing that sounded good. Here are a few samples...
Candy Cane Joe Joe's - oreo like cookies with mint filling studded with candy cane pieces (the box is already almost gone - 4 cookies left that I'm saving for after dinner)
Dark Chocolate Belgian Carmels with Sea Salt - already gone
Red Pepper Hummus - YUMMO
Whole Wheat French Onion Pita Chips - Delish, especially with the hummus! Oh and very low fat - BONUS!!
99 cent whole wheat pizza dough - we will be trying this out for dinner tonight
So, needless to say. I'll be back! YAY for TJ's! Sorry Kelly for my skepticism!!

Glad we made it this morning!!!!
Sounds like a wonderful place to shop for those things you can't find elsewhere. Oh, those lost pounds... just don't save me anything because I'll get the weight all back! Would like a little taste, though.

We tried the candy cane cookies too! Their frozen pizza is good too. They pre-bake it in a wood-burning stove so it takes a little more...genuine.
I'll have to try the hummus, since you say it's YUMMO.
Thanks for the sea salt caramel, Nicole it was delish... (just so everyone knows you shared those generously and didn't eat the whole box yourself!)
I LOVE TJ's. When we move next year I don't know what I'm going to do without it. Glad you discovered it. Jojo's YUM!
