I just spent $45 on flavored water and different forms on cauliflower at #traderjoes so you could say things with this “heathy lifestyle” are getting pretty serious.

Trader Joe’s cashier: “Got any big plans this weekend?”

Me: “Uh, I guess. I have a photoshoot tomorrow.”

Trader Joe’s cashier: “Oh, cool. You’re a model!”

Me, having never been mistaken for a model in my life: “You know you don’t get tips doing this job, right?”#TraderJoes

I went to #TraderJoes needing tahini and left needing a Xanax and a therapist. That place is insane.

Trader Joe is history’s most boring explorer. Indiana Jones fought Nazis to find amazing antiquities, Trader Joe combed the Earth to find muffins and frozen naan. #TraderJoes #traveler #adventure

Hi #TraderJoes, 1. Why don’t you have a Twitter and 2. Can I recommend myself as the spokesperson for these pizzas that are intended for children but are so delicious to adults that I ate a child’s entire supply? Please advise. Send me pizzas. Thank you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ pic.twitter.com/oUascx4Vwq

New word: Ridiculicious

You're welcome

So I finally bought the #TraderJoes Everything but the Bagel seasoning and I can say that my life can now be defined as a clear before/after experience. Before being eating boring English Muffins for breakfast; After being my newly elevated breakfast experience. 11/10 reccomend

I take great pride in the fact that, after 36 years on this planet, shopping at #TraderJoes is the closest I've ever come to joining a cult.

And finally, here's this week's cute cat in a Trader Joe's grocery bag:

Ya spend all this money on cat beds & perches and in the end they lay in a #TraderJoes bag. At least I recycled it...😂😺 #CatsOfTwitter pic.twitter.com/wvGYd7nKR8
