If #TraderJoes called and asked me and my kids to record a commercial for their canned fish, we'd do it in a hearbeat.

They can pay us in herring.

Went to #TraderJoes for the first time in 6 weeks. SIX WEEKS!!! That shit is not normal lol. We used to go every week. But let me tell you. The joy I felt whilst being inside TJ was like being at Disneyland.

Anyone notice this trend at #TraderJoes @TraderJoesList . The same exact item but with drastic different calories. This is not the only item I've noticed this on. Anyone know why? #traderjoe #groceries pic.twitter.com/EbaYTpwwWz

I shared an important life lesson with the boy today: the cooking instructions on #TraderJoes food is never, ever anywhere even close to being correct.

The store manager at #traderjoes gave me a bag of penguin gummies today. So, either I have a new boyfriend or he was concerned I was leaving with five bottles of wine and nothing else.

It definitely can, I decided to combat #loneliness w/ #kindness, went to #TraderJoes & got some cookies for #UPS + #FEDEX delivery people. We should all leave little packages for them. Our world needs kindness right now! And yes I write like a 5-year-old...@PsycoachTP 🤣😍 pic.twitter.com/R7TUrw30f3

Yesterday I bought a "Party Tray" of cheese from #TraderJoes. As the cashier rung it up:

Me: I can't even pretend it's for a party right now, can I?
Her: *laughs* I don't suppose you can...
Me: It's for me. The whole tray is for me.
Her: I don't blame you.

Interesting. This is not TJ's store-branded product. They apparently ordered extra of the industrial product they use to stock their restrooms, and are selling it by the roll. Smart. https://t.co/1DVwLOt5Im

Update

I haven't given up on this blog or anything. I just haven't been to Trader Joe's in several weeks. It's on the other side of town, and I haven't been in that neighborhood for other errands, given the general cutting back on hitting restaurants and other retail establishments. I've been making do with stuff from a regular (read: inferior!) grocer that's within walking distance. But my TJ's shopping list keeps growing, and I'm sure I'll be back there soon, with more new goodies to try and report on.
