This weekend my husband and I spent our first few hours at Trader Joe's. It wasn't the most pleasant experience. I don't think the store is really set up to flow. I think it's set up to float around in. Aisles and stands are in general set up to make the place seem smaller than it is. All of this I heartily approve of, other than the fact the Omahans flocked this weekend to the newly opened store. It was a chaotic mess.
That aside. I plan to always go there before a party from now on, and occasionally supplement my groceries there. There were a number of treasures: cheap wine, cheapish goodies, & good cheese. Though admittedly not matching the selection of Whole Foods in any of these areas, and not being much, if at all, cheaper.
I must say, I enjoyed the general circus aesthetic of many of their products as well as their bags.
I am willing to give them another few chances. And like I said, I would be remiss not to stop by there before a party.
Sunday dinner consisted of wine and cheese and crackers and other goodies. Not healthy, but oh so decadent and indulgent. Also, a merry closeness before the workweek was upon us.
