Because I follow several influencers on Instagram and YouTube, Who Vlog, and on TikTok, and they're always doing these super cool grocery hauls about all of the cool finds that they found at Trader Joe's. But every time I go to Trader Joe's, beyond the floral selection, which is in most stores right at the front, when you enter, I don't see anything else exciting

So he used to always talk about it back in the day and I've seen a couple of them in my neck of the woods. But yeah, they're like the more expensive version of Aldi from what I understand. So I think I'll check them out one day. But yeah, just some things to consider for you
Most of it, we were looking for food on the go, sort of like snacks or frozen meals after a long day or sometimes for more involved meals, but not often. Anyway, we sort of would make an event out of going to Trader Joe's, and so we would take our sweet a** time going down the aisles and checking out just about everything, and then we each might try something different

That's a good point, because, like you were saying, just looking at different descriptions of items, I might stumble upon something that I didn't seem and then I was also looking for specific things that other people had told me about, that they had enjoyed, that they were recommending to me that I wanted to try. But that's a good point. So thanks for suggesting that. I think I will just kind of take my time next time I go so that I can maybe find something

You wanted to buy some lettuce, and you had to buy it in the plastic clamshell where you don't have to at the grocery store. Also, where I live in California, there are several competing grocery stores that have direct connections to farmers. So you get high quality organic produce at a very reasonable price, much better than Whole Foods or even comparable or sometimes better than Trader Joe's for a better quality product

And it's always good for me to learn about different ideas that work for other people, because maybe they work for me, maybe they don't. So that's the idea behind that not necessarily, like, trendy. But I was wondering, you said you're in California. I think you guys have a Sprouts, because Sprouts, their produce is way better, and I've found way healthier options, way better tasting things, quality
