Actually Steve, you missed a post where I did finally did try out Trader
Joe's several months ago.

I bought the highly recommended "Triple Ginger Snaps." I wasn't impressed
but the tiny bit of chewy crystalized ginger in the middle was a nice
touch.. I also bought a bottle of feta cheese salad dressing which I saw in
their mailer. It sounded great but was a let down. It tasted like plain
ranch dressing with maybe a TBS of feta cheese added. Am I sounding like
Julie here? heheh

Anyway....it's a specialty food store and I won't bother going there again
unless I want some specific food for some recipe. I have no shopping
patience to wander through a store looking at everything exotic that they
offer.

A few months ago they opened a Whole Foods store right across the street.
I'll definitely check that store out someday too.....give me a couple of
years though.
