We'll we took a drive down the mountain today,,, down to Fresno... It was our,,, "gotta run errands" day... and one of our stops was at Trader Joes...
I went a wee bit over budget,,, but oh well,,, soooo worth it! lol!
I picked up 3 of the TJ Advent calendars, one of each of my grand~kiddos,,,, and a box of Brandy Beans... for Me! heehee!
I stock up on the TJ pumpkin spice bread and scones and pie spice!!!
TJ's only carries them during the Autumn/Winter season...
As for the Cedar multi~purpose cleaner,,, I always have 2-3 bottles on hand,,, my favorite go-to cleaner,,, I have been using for well over 10years..
I Love November!!!

Trader Joe's is always a good place to visit. They have many great deals and delicious extras for every season. Our local TJ is a relatively small store but still packed with lots of items you can't find elsewhere.

Lucky Grace! Brandy Beans...I'll have to try those. We went on a road trip last week and I talked DH into a stop a Trader Joe's. I had to splurge too. I love, love, their pie crust. (I tend to overwork my own.) I bought 3 boxes. Also, finally purchased a reusable TJ bag! (I'm such a snob). I can't remember what else. We ate it all. I saw their advent calendars there.

We are so lucky we have several near us here where I live. Thank goodness, because they help us stick to organic eating!
So glad you had a fun day! Yum!

I am lucky enough to have several Trader Joe's in my area and have been shopping with them since the 1980's. Be sure to check "Aldi" grocery store, as they are a new up and coming store that is affiliated with Trader Joe's.

Wow, Jana! I had no idea that Aldi's is associated with Trader Joe's. I have just recently been to the store closest to us. It has been in Mason City for many years. My kids and gkids shop there. I chose not to when they first opened even though their prices are much lower. It was rather obvious when they hired that only young, blond females need apply. (no. I was not applying) I was at an age and frame where I thought "Life should be fair". With other choices for shopping available I pretty much forgot the store existed. However, I understand now, that the hiring choice at that time was a local decision and probably not a company policy. Ah youth.
I could see some really good deals when I accompanied my daughter when she was shopping...and the fruits and vegetables looked wonderful.

My mother-in-law loves Aldi, so I've been there a couple of times. :)
Just be sure to read the ingredients! (Always a good idea, I suppose.) They play by different rules than Trader Joe's. Last time I was there, I found a strawberry yogurt that turned out to be a "strawberry-flavored yogurt product". :P
