hyperventilate NOW

I have admitted to anyone willing to listen to my excitement for the opening of Trader Joes this Friday that I realize my giddiness is slightly pathetic. I mean, it's a store, for Pete's sake. For Joe's sake, let's be honest.

But, DANG! I haven't been this excited for something in quite some time. I don't know why they haven't invited me to a sneak peek showing. I mean, for real, how many blogs are dedicated to a grocery store coming to an entire state? 

Breath in, breath out.

The Salt Lake Tribune posted some pictures of the store today and let's just say, "It's on. Oh yes, it is ON!"

Holy Joe's! It is coming. 


And then we all joined hands and cried great walloping tears of joy and gratitude. Our pleas were heard. Our culinary prayers have been answered.


Trader Joe's is coming to Salt Lake City by year's end.

What are you going to buy first?


I'm in love, I'm in love and I don't care who knows it.

too good to be true?

What the what? ABC 4 reported last night that Trader Joe's has scouts searching for a Utah location.


Could it be true? Do we dare hold our breath in anticipation?


Some say YES and others say FAT CHANCE.


Fourth South and 7th East? Yeah, I know it. I'll be there.


Did you hear this or read about it? What do you think the chances are?

It's almost gone

My cherished bottle of Trader Joe's Gold Quality Balsamic Vinegar is almost gone.


What am I supposed to do now? Buy another kind? I shudder at the thought.


Hey, Trader Joe's. Come to Utah!

Coconut milk! Made from real coconut? Are you kidding me? I would buy 10 a month. If only Trader Joe's would come to Utah.


{SIGH}

Oh Trader Joes. It's been too long.

I know that is has been a while since I posted about my NEED for Trader Joes to come to Utah.

Guess what? I haven't forgotten my old flame. It's hard not to believe so much of the gossip. Some say they won't come to Utah because of our liquor laws, and TJs thrives off selling their Two Buck Chuck. Trader Joe himself claims that it's a distribution issue (well, not really Joe, but representatives have said this).


To which I say REALLY, TJs? But you can have three in New Mexico and one in Spokane? Come on! Give some love to the Rockies. 

I use my Trader Joes reusable bags all of the time. And wouldn't you know it, every single time someone gets excited at the sight of them, hoping that I got them close by. I have to relive my sadness as I commiserate with the hapless individuals who also love Trader Joes.

What are we going to do, TJ? 

I have an idea... !

not food, but great reasons

Trader Joe's sells toothpaste, deodorant, hand sanitizer and cleansing facial pads?




Yes, please!
