I just got back from TJ's. Didn't have a list nor anything, just
needed eggs and coffee for a late breakfast. I came home with:

coffee -- they have a good variety of roasts and countries of
origin.
eggs -- extra large for 99 cents; they have fertile and free
range if you want.
butter, unsalted -- they also have salted, both for very good
price. And they have Plugra for special occasions and special baking.
TJ's "Albacore Solid White Tuna" in olive oil -- high quality
product, good price.
TJ's canned corn -- as good as any frozen, better than most canned.
Picatta simmer sauce -- one of TJ's many simmer sauces, all of
which are great cupboard staples for emergencies.

As always, I looked at the scotches and the cabernets. The selection
changes frequently.

As usual, I remembered something on the way home I should have picked
up. In this case, Double Rainbow French Vanilla ice cream. -aem
