On the last Costco/Trader Joe's run I also got: A two pound container of red, yellow and orange sweet mini-peppers for $4.29. I like them because you can use an entire pepper at one time (no left-over parts of a full sized pepper), and they are just beautiful mixed into a stir-fry, grilled or whatever. Plus doesn't the color give special health benefits? In my grocery, a couple of red peppers costs over $4., so this is a good deal.
At Trader Joe's I got a small container of organic micro greens. These are delicate looking radish sprouts and other tiny greens. These look nice on a salad or on top of a turkey burger and have a very nice flavor. This was $2.39. When a pretentious cookbook says, "serve with a tangle of greens", this is the sort of thing they are talking about.
I bought these items a week ago. The greens are almost gone, but the remaining are still fine. The peppers are also still crisp and glossy.
That reminds me of what I am NOT happy about. The big container of organic baby/european lettuce mix that Costco sells. I keep buying it because it is much cheaper than the grocery, but it is always on the way to being spoiled when I purchase it. Part of the problem is that they stuff too much in the container and crush it which accelerates the spoilage. I need to quit wasting my money on this item.
