Has anyone ever been to Trader Joes? I found zero fat ground beef there, among many other things and ate nothing but beef burritos for a whole day...yikes.. :x

Trader Joes is a great store. Despite my friends' joking that I buy my "hippie foods" there, it's a great place for unique and healthy foods that fit into my nutrition plan. I always go for their salmon and bar-b-q flavored soynuts.....hell yeah.

I have 2 problems with TJs:

1. Anytime I ever find something I really like there, they end up discontinuing it. It's a conspiracy!
2. Their prouducts' portion sizes are too small for the cost, aka, I eat too much...

Seriously, good store, but as an FYI: I don't know if you have Albertson's grocery stores out by you, but they carry a 4% ground beef (even has the AHA's stamp of approval on it!) for pretty cheap, especially when they offer 2 for 1! It comes out to something like $1.89/pound!

Ahh! What are those of us in Canada to do? We don't have any of those places!
