Stuff Cobbs Like #15: Trader Joe's

Traderjoes2Cobbs like Trader Joe's.  Trader Joe's is often referred to as the "quirky grocery store chain".  They have so many different and unique food and drinks.  Most of the products they sell you will not find at a traditional grocery store.  My friend Carmine, got me hooked on this store.  She and her hubby lived with us for a bit, and she kept bringing home all this great food from Trader Joe's.  So I decided to check it out.  I am now a huge fan.  Thanks Carmine!  I now love to go grocery shopping!  Trader Joe's makes grocery shopping fun!  I love the chalk board artwork and they have a great taste test counter in the back.  These are a few of the things in my freezer/fridge from Trader Joe's: light string cheese, the vanilla ice cream bon bons (you must have self control if you buy these!), balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing (they discontinued this for a bit and I was frantic!), creamy spinach & artichoke dip-comes frozen (this gets devoured before I can put it down on the counter - huge hit at Kaleo), traditional pot roast, garlic fries, organic creamy tomato soup, mini chicken tacos, and pico de gallo salsa.  Erick does not do the grocery shopping but he does stop by Trader Joe's often to pick up some beautiful flowers for me.  Very sweet!  Trader Joe's is not only hip, tasty, unique, but surprisingly inexpensive!  I have told Erick we can only move to a place that has a Trader Joe's within an hour drive!  I am waiting for one to open in Maui.  I just discovered today that there are blogs dedicated to Trader Joe's products such as TraderJoesFan and TraderJoe's-CandyBlog (yes, they do have great candy too).  Trader Joe's has some of the yummiest food!
