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!

trader joe's cookies, part II



Better than Oreos, HANDS DOWN.  (Also, more fat grams and calories per cookie than Oreos, but we won't go there.)


Have you had the Candy Cane Joe-Joe's?  Better yet, have you had the Candy Cane Joe-Joe's dipped in dark chocolate?  Oh BOY!  I think I gained 2 lbs just thinking about them, but I am also happier.


Come on Trader Joe's, spread your love to Utah!  We'll love you back, I promise!

Trader Joe's does cookies!

My kids love the Chocolatey Cat Cookies (for People) and I love the Triple Ginger Cookies (also for people).


I don't like that I have to ration them.
