The Glittering Caves

...evening comes: they fade and twinkle out; the torches pass on into another chamber and another dream.

why i love trader joe's

apart from the unique food items and high-inducing, rather than high, prices... oh, and the taste of The Best Orange-Peach-Mango Juice Ever Cartoned, which is why i just refer to it as OPM (say that fast...):

"The first thing you may notice about this cheese snack is the absence of a brilliant, yet artificial, orange color... We're selling each seven ounce bag of Trader Joe's Baked Jalapeno Cheese Crunchies for just $1.79. They won't glow in the dark, but neither will you if you eat them."

"This dessert is such a tart, we almost called it Lemon Hester Prynnes. But then we'd have to put an 'A' on it..."

"While a gorgonzola or an Emmenthaler can be polarizing, Cheddar is sort of the Switzerland in the cheese lineup. Yes, these are the conversations we have at Trader Joe's."

Traders'sJoe, what a place for groceries shopping.
Once we got it we got hooked. Now we are so happy they decided to open in Raleigh.
So we went to another newly opened groceries store called "Aldi" to check up on it(They are worldwide for some odd reason). Yes and I'll tell you why.
First we found the carts all locked (Put a 25 cents coin to open and get one for yourself) This is the first time in my life I came across such a place of Grocery shopping where we use their cart and pay them 25 cents each time. I said, whoa, but some other shopper was returning and gave it to us, so we saved 25 cents here.
Went inside, most of the things were"unfresh" as far as veg. or fruita re concerned. There was not much variety, so we were disappointed but picked up some milk and a couple of other things. There was only one girl (cash register), who told us we cannot use credit cards.
We left everything and hurried ourselves out and went straight to Traders Joe, where they have free carts and to add fun they have little carts for the little ones. Also have lot of Ballons for little ones. Lot of cash registers and plenty of varieties etc.
Prices were according to the type of quality----low, in Aldi's
