Red Mosquito

and laphroaig 10 is $42

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen spirits at TJ’s. Just beer and wine.

maybe its a california thing..i remember being miffed that the portland oregon Tj didn't sell liquor

Yeah ours only sell beer and wine

i don't know whats stressing me out more...trader joe's without hard liquor or the sandwich thread

Doug many states can't sell liquor in any grocery store as it is regulated by the state. I think California is one of the few exceptions

a liter of jameson is $24

Ok never mind I’ll go later today, not the weekend

Dammit Ruddo thanks for reminding me

We can only get wine, champagne, beer and CBD in groceries

had some time to kill this morning so went to a couple different small town grocery stores to have a look

What were some of your impressions?

i like pacific northwest stores...i usually start in the canned fish/seafood isle...like looking for brands I've never seen or tried before

Big ice storm coming Friday and Saturday and we want to avoid the stores tomorrow, so we went to Trader Joe’s to increase our snack supply. Not only did they have chili onion crunch, but i found some kalua pork spring rolls

sounds like the perfect breakfast

I had a chance to visit a Whole Foods 365 today. Basically a pantry version of a Whole Foods. Felt a little like a Trader Joe's with mostly packaged food and a small produce section. Not really my thing unless it's Aldi, who justifies their existence through great prices. Easy to get in and out, but I went in for hot food which they don't do very well there.
