everything in life has stuff that is not SBD friendly that is tempting. be strong. they have a lot of great stuff that is SBD legal.

try ths guac and salsa mix (the one with enstein on the front)

My newest favorite thing from Trader Joe's is the Cilantro salad dressing. It is in the produce section, kept cold.

TJ's is awesome! So easy to be on So Beach and shop there, so many "legal" goodies and super high quality as well. I love it!

Does anyone know if there is a list posted on Trader Joe's friendly foods? I remember last night, doing some reading here, seeing a link posted on a thread someone started to welcome the year 2008. Now have I confused everyone with that last sentence? Kathy

That is the one that is closest to me as well. Its closer to me than it is to you but still too far to go just for some food. Maybe next time I go to ATL I will check it out and I will change my mind about it being too far away!

Someone I know looked into buying one as a business, but she was not able to! She wanted it for Colorado!

I know that is crazy, huh?!?!? I think I want to go tonight now :)

The fact that Trader Joes and ALDI are related is supposed to be kept hush hush. The TJ's demographic isn't quite the ALDI demographic.

Screw that! I <3 both stores!

I would kill to have an Aldi OR a TJ's by our house. I used to save so much money buying food at Aldi.

movielover 04-30-2008 01:04 PM

Never even heard of ALDI!!!!

ladybugnessa 04-30-2008 01:08 PM

1 trader joe about 2 miles from my house
2 about 15 miles in opposite directions
and 2 aldis each about 5 miles away.
