Trader Joe's?

ok where is this store and what is it??  Everyone seems to hold it in high regard and I've only heard of it on here...  lol Thanks!!

There is one in Maple Grove... my personal favorite, and a smaller one in St. Louis park.. if you ever come down and want to go there, let me know.. I will show you the way!!!!

There's one in Woodbury too!  They've got the best selection of reduced fat cheese.  I get *so* frustrated with the regular grocery stores and their almost complete lack of reduced fat cheese.  People probably thought I was weird last night because I was complaining to the cheese that none of them were what I wanted and that I needed to go to Trader Joe's. 

What all do they carry?  Should have added that to the original post!  lol

They have a lot of organic foods and DH said a lot of candy (which seemed true).  They had a produce section, a nice cheese section, some salads and prepared foods that were interesting, a meat section, snacks typical to those that you would find in the organic section of the supermarket, a frozen food section with more organic type meals and frozen products.  DH got some chipotle ranch flavored fries (I had one without the chipotle sauce and the fry was very good and crispy).  They had some ice cream.  Also, pasta and sauces.  We got some oils there that are hard to find in the regular grocery (grapeseed and *toasted* sesame).

Hey Lori ~ Ditto to everyting NewDayComing has said..  I work at the one in Woodbury!  95% percent of everything sold at Trader Joes is mfg and packaged privately for Trader Joes and sold at low prices.. :-)

With a money back guarantee if you don't like it!!!!! I have yet to find anything there I didn't like. yummy golden raisins.

I haven't been there yet, but did learn a little about them from their website... www.traderjoes.com You can also get directions to any of the stores in the TC. Maybe you can spin into one while you're down this weekend?
