Our household is definitely a TJ's household. For our son, a visit to Trader Joe's is like a visit to a toy store -- he has so much fun and loves the selection of fruits and cheeses and helping us with grocery shopping is a sure-fire way to get him to help with dinner.

I moved away from many Trader Joe's to a city with NO Trader Joe's. It has been over a year and I am still suffering from withdrawals. I am sure I was thinner AND happier when my fridge was full of Trader Joe's!

I've seen this cookbook before, and knowing how TJ's works, I always have to wonder how long it'll be before every item used in the book is discontinued. :)

I cant believe living away from a TJs. I actually MAIL stuff to my SIL in Louisville, KY. Great to see this book. We cannot run out of ideas on a busy weeknight.

Our local grocery chain has store-brand organics that are as cheap, if not cheaper, than Trader Joes. Big, international, corporate conglomerate has alot of people fooled.

Like my local Safeway or Lucky isn't a corporation?
I buy from farmer's markets, but when I shop at Safeway or Trader Joe's, the bill at Trader Joe's is almost always $30 to $40 LESS than Safeway's.

Safeway is expensive no doubt about it.
I LOVED TJs when I lived in Oregon and begged them to come to Atlanta when I moved back. They did and now I hardly ever go. Great stuff, but I can get it cheaper and better at the Dekalb Farmers Market. I also don't usually cook with pre-prepared stuff.

I think it's cool that some fans of Trader Joe's put together that book. It's not by Trader Joe's though and sadly, a lot of the ingredients have been discontinued. There's still quite a few good ideas in there though.
