Let's be honest, Whole Foods should just be called Whole Paycheck. And Aldi's conjures images of dented cans and the like. But Trader Joe's? Hellllloooooo fabulous!
Los Porchs had their first experience this weekend in Madison, home of the hippy-dippy granola crunchy kind of people... it was cool. We like organic foods and acknowledge that they're good for us. Heck, I can sometimes even convince Porch to eat veggies! Back to Trader Joe's... I enjoyed the Madison store and knew that there are three locations in Chicago but had never been and found it hard to believe it could be the same kind of experience. Overwhelming only in the fact that there were many people in the store tonight, it was a pretty great experience! Lots of goodies!
But let's not get carried away, some items are still cheaper & better from Dominicks. Porch has been making lunches (and might want to consider making dinners if his schedule continues as is) so I had to pick up some sandwich goodies. And milk. And eggs. Ya know, the staples.
The main point of my presentation? I now have a love for Trader Joe's and as a result will begin dragging Porch there for a portion of our grocery shopping needs.
