Trader Joes in the Triangle!

I'm very happy to report that Trader Joes has opened a store in Cary. It's about a 30 minute drive from our place. I made the trip yesterday, the last day before I began my new temp job, which should last about two months, or mid Jan. Depending on if I can stand it.

I was so happy to be in Trader Joes! All my favorite snacks and wines and cheeses, at my fingertips. I actually got a little choked up when I was in there- I'm not sure if it is repressed homesickness sneaking out or if I was having tears of joy- either way it was nice to feel something at all.

I spent $75.00, the most I've ever spent in Trader Joes, ever. But I got some good deals, and some old favorites. I bought the little cheese and proscuito roll I love so much, and Patrick's favorite Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies. I bought the Pita Chips with Sea Salt, 2 Glycerine liquid hand soaps, three bottles of wine including a favorite from Chili, Old Farmhouse English Cheddar Cheese, the Masala Simmer sauce, a Veggie Pizza, frozen SoyBean Sucatash, and much much more. You folks out in Los Angeles, don't take TJ's for granted! Blessed are those who can walk to Trader Joes.
