I am eager to sing the praises of Trader Joe’s. This place may not be intended for the seasoned chef who wants to craft a gourmet meal using the finest ingredients. But it is for the busy parent, yuppie, and college student alike who craves food that is easy to prepare, palatable, somewhat nutritious and won’t break the bank (alcohol included).

Thank you, Trader Joe, for simplifying my life and the lives of my loved ones.
