There is a store about 20 minutes away and my mother goes there like twice a week. I don't have the energy or time after work to do that so I go maybe every 4 months. To me it is very much a novelty grocery store. I wouldn't be able to get everything I need on a weekly basis. It definitely has some great stuff though and at reasonable prices for the most part. Some of the things I bought today were: --coconut cold brew coffee concentrate --extra virgin olive oil --fresh pineapple chunks --freeze dried figs (new to me) --frozen Argentinian red shrimp --frozen hash browns --frozen silver dollar pancakes --frozen asparagus --Tea Tree Tingle shampoo and conditioner --their version of Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap liquid --a bouquet of flowers --2 flavors of fresh ravioli (1 new to me) That's just what jumps out to me off the top of my head. The total was like $121 which isn't great but like I said I only go there a couple of times per year.

I never heard of a coconut cold brew coffee. I like drinking coconut water, so I'm highly curious what that taste like when in coffee.

It is just a strong iced coffee with a coconut flavor

There is a new Trader Joe's about 25 minutes away from us. We've never been there. Have a good weekend.

It is definitely worth the trip. They have some great stuff and are very reasonably priced.

@NJChicaa Do you have a Whole Foods there? I hear they're very expensive; but they seem to have a ton of goodies. We don't have one here.

Your purchases sound yummy and intriguing. I have never been to Trader Joe's, though I see theHorse post about them.

I like Trader Joes though they are a novelty due to not having everything a person needs.

agree! I was disappointed to see some of my favorites not there and especially the canned cat food.
