The New Trader Joe's

Hooray! At long last, the new Trader Joe's at the Metropolitan has opened up! I have been waiting so long for this.  The food and household items at Trader Joe's are cheaper and better than at your regular grocery stores. Plus, in addition to normal items like green onions, apples, and bread, you can find some incredibly cool and unique stuff. For instance, today I picked up some crunchy green beans. They are snack that looks like a dried green bean, that is salted. I haven't tried them yet, but it sounds like a winner to me. Another not-to-be-missed item at Trader Joe's is the 21 Seasoning Salute. It's this incredible spice blend that makes everything delicious, and it's only sold at one fabulous place. Did I mention the cheap wine at Trader Joe's? It bought three bottles and the most expensive one was $4.99. Also, I had received a coupon in the mail last week, so I received a free reusable shopping bag. You know I love that!

Which three wines did you grab? Any worth buying again? Here are some of my favorite Trader Joe's Wines you may want to consider for next time.

Cheers,

I bought 2 very intriguing looking ones... one is called Tres Pinos and the other is called Vinho Verde, haven't tried them yet, though... The other one is Purple Moon Merlot, which I have bought before and know I love... very delicious!
