Trader Joe's is awesome - it's a small grocery store of mostly decadent little tasty things (but not pricey!). It started in CA and it's moving slowly south and west. Trader Joe's isn't great for produce, but they have fabulous dried fruit, nuts, frozen fish, pasta, nut butters (almond, cashew, sunflower seed), chocolates, cookies (not that I eat these anymore, heh), cheap (but good) wine, fancy beer, bread (and wraps and pitas), spreads (pumpkin butter, roasted red pepper/eggplant), fancy oils (just bought some walnut oil).

I go there for certain items - cheap natural peanut butter, dried blueberries, greek yogurt, La Tortilla whole wheat wraps without preservatives (softer and better than the kind in regular grocery stores), frozen brown rice, India Fare packaged Indian meals (just cut the foil and heat). I normally go in intending to buy 2-3 items and walk out with 2 bags of stuff.

I like Aunt Millie's organic whole wheat bread. They also have another non-organic which is Aunt Millie's Hearth Whole Wheat. They are both a bit firm and satisfying.

Hi!

My husband is diabetic, so five years ago we did a drastic change to whole wheat bread, regular steel-ground oats instead of instant, and also brown whole grain rice. The difference has been remarkable for my husband and great for all of us, too!
