Those bastards! I have a similar reaction to Edward's Key Lime Pie. I can usually resist them, but every time a holiday rolls around the bastards put them on sale for half off and I'm a goner.

What's that taste like? Cookies or peanut butter? I love those Meyer's Lemon Cookies from TJ. They are real thin, and just kind of break apart when you eat them.

Not preaching to the choir, Rodge. Trader Joe's is even worse than Whole Foods. Total Shopping Failure.
When they opened in Sarasota, I went for look. Selection is meager. Most of the store is stocked with junk food, tank car wines, and frozen glop I wouldn't consider eating. Pricing on the rest is stupid.
I walked up and down every aisle trying to find something worth buying.Then I put on my sunglasses and left. It's humiliating to leave a store empty handed. So I buzzed over to Costco and bought $200 worth of stuff I didn't need. Plus eggs, milk, and big bottle of the house bourbon. -

Wegman's cocoanut cake - I tremble just thinking about it. A decent slice is the whole cake.

Helly, I am almost ashamed to admit that I have nevet set foot indide Trader Joes. I only know it by the unusual number of times the kids/guests have brought food over that prompted me to ask "JFC! Where did you get this-I love it!' and the answer is "Trader Joes, where have you been old man?"

Trader Joe's black licorice is to die for. It's the stuff we had when we were little tykes shopping at the candy store. Anybody that doesn't like it is a Communist. I love Trader Joe's the prices are more than fair and the treats are delicious. Yes, I am fat, so what? I'm happy.

Try their ONE HALF KILO chocolate bars. They have one that is 72% Belgian chocolate. One or two squares are plenty for me, and most people, only about 50 calories each. So, diet food, unless you do something crazy and melt it for hot chocolate or ice cream topping or cake frosting or chocolate ice cream. You can actually get about nine ounces of chocolate into a liter of half 'n half. You can actually get more, but it becomes more like milk chocolate than ice cream.
I am ashamed that I know this. -

Trader Joes are full of teachers and hippies.
But I repeat myself. -

"almost ashamed to admit"
No need to apologize, Rodge. You do the blogging and I'll take care of the shopping. Adam Smith wanted it this way. But let's talk about investments.
Due to the vagaries of age and gender, high fat/carb treats are a dire threat to my wardrobe. Just in the recreational compartments, I have dozens of swimsuits, wetsuits, and full-body diving skins. These items aren't just well tailored; they're painted on. Every freckle telegraphs through. And I should mention that *everything* is magnified 33% underwater.
A few careless purchases at Trader Joe's would have me looking like a manatee. Not gonna happen.
