When I lived back east the closest Trader Joe’s was 45 minutes away so I barely ever made the trip there. When I moved to Southern California I was excited to find out that stores were located all over the South Bay! Trader Joe’s is where I do most of my grocery shopping now. Sometimes I head to Whole Foods and Von’s for a few things, but I try to buy the majority at TJ’s.
Here is everything that is usually on my Trader Joe’s shopping list:
- Lemon chicken and arugula to-go salad (lunch for work when I’m too lazy to meal prep)
- One bars (almond bliss and birthday cake) (pre- workout)
- Sourdough bread
