Simply put, Trader Joe’s is a gourmet food shop that sells at affordable prices. Equally important is that anything that carries their brand name is GMO free. (If people were more aware how many processed foods are genetically modified—and if you’re not familiar with this, it would be worth your while to Google the studies on this subject—more people would make the one-hour trip and/or shop more carefully locally.)
We have not yet been to the new store but are delighted at its closeness—only an hour away. The last time we needed a Trader Joe’s fix, the nearest to drive to was in Atlanta—many hours away…. We bring their foods with us when we’re returning from up north too. Great stuff!
The Fresh Market is also a gourmet food shop but with prices that are less affordable. Also great stuff!
