I Dream Awake

Great Food Almost Free

Posted on August 14th, 2006 in Food, NYC by kende ||

I finally went to Trader Joe’s today. Hadn’t been since it opened a few months ago. Huge mistake. The place isn’t as large as I’d like but it’s food heaven at amazing prices. Addicted to carrot juice? 4 bucks and change! That’s a 3rd less than anywhere else in the city. Want some goat cheese on that slice of pizza? Half the price of Fairway… And they had been the lowest price I’d found so far. Want to fill your freezer with potstickers but don’t want to spend all the time and mess it takes to follow Alton Brown’s recipe? TJ has ‘em for the same price as the bulk dumpling shop I go to in Chinatown but at much better quality. I picked up a bag of shrimp and a bag of pork, but for my Kosher keeping friends out there they have vegetable too…

Well at least now I know what my next target with a camera is. I’ll go back and post the proof here of the too good to be true selection and prices.
