Plunging Prices!

Three Buck Chuck is now Two and a Half Buck Chuck! Two fiddy!

Apparently the Midtown Trader Joes was due to open by now, but there was a change in licensing laws and they went back to get a new one. The new one means they can serve wine samples to customers. It's due to open in late March, and a Buckhead one should open in the fall.

I find it amusing that, because of Georgia liquor distribution laws, they've had to make the sale of 3-buck-chuck available to anyone who wants to sell it... and now, pretty much, every liquor store in TOWN has it.

I just noticed there's a Trader Joe's near my home. I've never been. Apart from good, cheap wine, what reason have I to go there?

Think of it as Whole Foods with a sense of humor and a less dramatic markup. They sell a ton of their own house brands of everything from cereal to Mexican food (Trader Juans) to Italian (Trader Giovannis). Most of their house brand foods are of high quality, cheap and quite tasty.

They are very organic and vegan friendly, yet their meaty milky stuff is also excellent and cheaper than most.

Even their catfood is cheaper and less chemically than other brands.

It'll be open by the time I get home! YAY!!! That is one thing I liked about DC...easy Trader Joe's access. I don't like to shop anywhere else, really.
