Trader Joe’s is opening this week! I am here to tell you that this place more than lives up to the hype. Trader Joe’s started organic before organic was cool, and everything on the shelf is a Trader Joe’s brand. They cut out the middle man, making it far more affordable than Whole Foods. And everything is packaged in small portions, making it the perfect grocery stop for college students! The service is incredible and everything they sell is so yummy. Really. Aren’t you tired of the crap groceries you find at Wal-Mart? Trader Joe’s is going to change your life.
