In a dietary slump?

Without hyping-up Trader Joe's TOO much, let me say this: If you have one in your town, it's probably one of the better shopping environments you'll find. Unlike most grocery stores, the people who work at Joe's are pleasant, cheerful and informed about their products. My girlfriend and I agree: Trader Joe's is what we want in a shopping experience. They have fresh produce, breads and a host of vegetarian and vegan options ranging from Soy Chorizo -- which I couple with tofu for a hell of a power-packed breakfast -- to vegan steak strips. They also offer a variety of cheeses containing either Microbial or Vegetable-based rennet. Read my post on rennet if you're not sure about this *lovely* ingredient. Also, if you're in a state that allows the sale of alcohol in grocery stores, don't pass up Joe's famous 2-Buck Chuck aka Charles Shaw table wines. They're somewhere in the $3/bottle range -- I know -- and they're pretty damn good! Certainly a great value. Essentially, everything in the store costs around $3. That may prove as helpful info when loading up your cart!
