Hi Everyone!
Happy Monday. Hope everyone had a
phenomenal weekend. My weekend was amazing. As planned, I attended my first blogger conference, SoFabU, here in New York City and I was blown away with
everything I learned as well as all the amazing bloggers I met. The experience
was truly awesome. I look forward to sharing a review of the event in an upcoming
post. Please stay tuned for that! I am so glad I attended.
In other news, today I want to share some
tips on the best (and most affordable) grocery items you can get at Trader
Joe's. This was inspired by a recent visit and based on purchases I have made over the years as well as my overall experience.
Hopefully you have a location near you that allows you to benefit from all the amazing deal the place can offer. If you've never heard of Trader Joe's, the best way I can describe it is as a "much more affordable" version of Whole Foods. You can find organic/all natural products at incredible prices. Whenever people tell me eating well is too expensive I direct their attention to places like TJs. Even if you pay I bit more, your health is worth it, right?

I love Trader Joe's but the closest location is about 2 hours away! Sometimes hubby stops at a Trader Joe's while he's traveling for work and brings me home lots of goodies! We always pick up Ezekiel bread, cashew butter, and whatever unique treats we can find. I'd love to attend SoFabU!
ReplyDeleteWow! I cant believe your location is so far :(. How about a whole foods? is that closer to you?
Delete...anyways, I hope SoFabU comes to a town near you, it was so much fun (also, since we are both part of SoFab, hopefully we get to meet one day!)
Our family loves loves Trader Joes! Our favorite things there?? Everything! :-) We love the varieties of ways that you can purchase coconut...milk, water, oil, shredded, chips, dried, sticks, frozen! It's quite insane! It was a pleasure chatting with you on Saturday as we walked in NYC! :-) It was also mu first blog conference and I had an amazing time!
