Tastes Like: Aight, these are BOUGIE SNACKS. They taste like across between SnapPeas (bougie) and dried salted seaweed snacks (bougie) and kale chips (ugh, remember when those were EVERYWHERE? BOOOOUGIE). Great With: I think these would be good for like… giving to kids? To force them to eat vegetables? I dunno. Perfect For: Gwyneth…

Trader Joe’s Tuesday: Mini Brie Bites
Tastes Like: I’m gonna try to keep this under 500 words. It’s gonna be hard. In the past, the circles of “Good Brie” and “Affordable Brie” were miles apart from each other, and in the vast crevasse between, lived many regrettable BAD BRIES which I bought in desperate need of some tangy soft cheese, yet…
Gluteny Foods That I Would Eat If I Could, But I Can’t, So I Don’t
So the other day, my BGFF told me that she saw gluten digestive aid for sale. Like, pills that would help me digest gluten! Do these work? Can it be true? Yours Truly is very nearly having a B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y, and when she blows out the candles, she’ll be wishing that it does work. That maybe, like a Fairy Godmother, the…
BACK OFF: An Unpleasant Trader Joe’s Story
“Personal Space” is a funny concept in New York City. In a municipality where we think nothing of entwining our legs with a stranger’s on the subway to keep our balance on that crowded L train, there are still clearly situations where there is an accepted distance that one keeps from other people. On…
This Fast And Easy Huevos Rancheros Recipe Is Ideal For When You Are Too Depressed To Cook Actual Food
I am obsessed with A Cup of Jo’s consistently tantalizing Trader Joe’s-based content. I mean, I’ve adored Jo’s aesthetic for years (millennial pink mmmmkay), and the fact that her team of writers seem as addicted to the consistently low prices and great value of Joe’s grocery store as I am seems to validate my obsession. You know…
GOOD NEWS! It’s Ordinary Time
I’m so happy that I’m doing this again! This guitar pick is a story.I was back at Trader Joe’s, the same place where I was gifted delicious cookies! It’s also where I shop for groceries every week, so, don’t act too surprised that I was there. I was in line down the toiletries/trail mix aisle, and…
Chivalry Isn’t Dead!!! — You Can Get It At Trader Joe’s
If you live in New York or — heck — the EAST COAST, even, you might have gotten buried under a shit-ton of snow yesterday??? Yeah, I noticed. It snowed! I was a snow-skeptic, though, RIGHT up until the last minute. Which is why I decided it was a GREAT IDEA to go grocery…
The Only Things I Ever Buy At Trader Joe’s. No, Really.
So back like, two years ago? I lived in Manhattan and close to a train line that ran basically from Trader Joe’s TO MY HOUSE. *pause for a moment of silence as we remember* This was the best because I could easily lug home whatever I wanted, and thus, anything I wanted, I would just chuck…
Good News…Same As It Ever Was….
Ok. I’m freaking out. You’re freaking out. I just remembered what day it was and here I am, in front of all this uplifting *CoNtEnT* trying to justify it. I started doing this when I felt overwhelmed by the news. I guess keeping it up is most important when it’s hard. When you’re like,…
I Love You, You’re Perfect, But…
Around Valentine’s Day, you see lots of sappy posts cropping up from coupled bloggers about how much they love their significant other, how they’re the greatest in the world, blah blah blah. This isn’t one of those. Well, obviously, all those other posts neglect to mention the fact that my boyfriend is clearly the best…
5 Fandom Friday: Girls Just Wanna Have Pumpkin!
It’s that time of year! Time for Pumpkin Everything. Ornamental gourds? CHECK. Coffee-flavoured beverages? CHECK. Grab your nearest infinity scarf and strap on those black leggings, it’s time to go pumpkin picking! Not real pumpkins, hello, what do you think this is, Long Island? Aw. Hell. Naw. This is Brooklyn, not to be confused with…
Trader Joe’s Tuesday: Chunky Artichoke & Jalapeno Dip
Trader Joe’s Chunky Artichoke & Jalapeño Dip Tastes Like: It’s not as spicy as you would imagine! But it is EVERY bit as chunky as the name suggests. It’s not so much a “dip” as it is a “scoop” or maybe even a “spread” – use a fancy little butter or cheese knife to put…
