don’t go shopping at trader joe’s while hungry

this is a cautionary tale. yesterday i happened to be out and realized we were out of delicious fiberful bars and thought i would pop on over to trader joe’s. this turned out to be a disaster as you can see from the photo below. realizing what i had done only when i got home i decided it be best to take a picture of it to immortalize my stupidity. however there is some lemonade to be made from these lemons: i have new products to review.

to list exactly what i got:

  • 2 bottles - 3 buck chuck chardonnay
  • 2 bottles - gabbiano rosato (it was $2.99 per bottle, possibly for sangria)
  • creamy corn & roasted pepper soup
  • italian blood orange soda
  • tj’s baked pita chips with sea salt
  • tj’s nonfat vanilla yogurt
  • box of tj’s fig cereal bars
  • 3 - boysenberry fruit bars
  • 20 - (yes that’s right, i have a problem) fiberful bars

so like i said, i have much to review. after some snacking on the pita chips with some hummus i was impressed. full review to follow. needless to say i might have to either not shop when i’m hungry or boycott tj’s all together and join a support group for help. i choose the former.

    Hi Trix,
    How funny-I wrote a blog a couple of days ago about my addiction to Trader Joe’s and my 10 current favorite items.

    Perfect for gourmet “coordination” if not actual cooking!
