Notes/Thoughts:
- Eggs are an amazing deal at TJ's.
- Toilet paper is a great deal too - 6 rolls for $3.99 and it's 100% recycled.
- Cereal bars are the same price at both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods for the same amount.
- I wrote about a mini coffee dilemma here. It would be interesting to hear what other people do.
- I bought the plain yogurt at Whole Foods (365 brand), but will go back to buying the vanilla flavor ($.50 more) next week. It wasn't a good choice :).
- The cranberry/almond/cashew mix at Trader Joe's is a great one! Definitely worth checking out.
- I'm excited to try Trader Joe's all purpose cleaner and will try to report here how it works.

I think those fruit leathers are candy too. Too bad they are 50 cents each!! I could eat several hundred a day.
I'm curious about what coffee from Trader Joe's failed you?
I've reviewed quite a few good ones, as well as other TJ's items, on my blog: Feasting on TJ's
For taste, value, and being ethics/environmentally friendly, Fair Trade Organic Bolivian Blend cannot be topped!
Yeah, have you seen the ends & pieces at all, Josh? I wish we could get those all the time!
Daniel - I saw your blog when searching the internet. Good to know about the coffee you recommend. We just tried the $3.50 super cheap Trader Joe's coffee. I'll let you know if I try the one you said. My sister told me that she gets great coffee there too.
