I first read about Trader Joe’s on the Weight Watcher boards. I post there and have found many great recipes on that site. People on that board kept on mentioning all their favorite food that they buy at Trader Joe’s and so I googled the store and the closest one by us was is in Maple Grove, MN. I HAD to go there and see what that place was like. The store was almost 300 miles away.

We travel a lot to Minneapolis because of relatives living there and my mom and I love to go shopping. The stores location is great because we always end up stopping there on the way out of town. Here is my list of items that I like to get when I go there. Every time I go there, I like to get something new. The last time I ended up getting the mac and cheese dinner found in the frozen section and it was really really good. What are some of your favorite foods to get??
