NEWS:  South Florida's FIRST TRADER JOE's  JUST OPENED- IN MIAMI 

traderjoe_fronttwo-thumb-560x420Southeast Florida finally has a Trader Joe's! The store officially opened at 8 a.m. on October 18 in Pinecrest, a tiny suburb, located about 6 miles south of downtown Miami. That means a bit of a schlepp if you live in Broward and Palm Beach. But Palm Beach County will soon be getting 3 Trader Joe's locations soon, with a 12,500-square-foot TJ's opening in Boca Raton's East City Center in the near future; and another shop opening at Delray Place in Palm Beach Gardens in October, 2014. A Wellington store is also in the works.

So why are so many people fanatical about a new grocery store? Trader Joe's Prices are Cheaper than Competitors. Perusing the aisles at Trader Joe's, you'll catch onto one thing instantly… nearly everything is named after the store. Cookies are Joe Joe's. Tangerines are Josies. Cereal is Joe's O's. Just go with the flow, because you're basically buying the same stuff, just packaged cuter. That's because the company, based in Monrovia, California, buys direct from the manufacturer and brands it with private labels — but the savings go in your pocket. That means 30 different cereals all under two bucks a box. You can buy everything here on the cheap, from toilet paper to dog treats (check out the pumpkin cookies for Fido) to sunscreen. And who hasn't heard about 'Two Buck Chuck', the incredibly good wine that's only $2.99 a bottle.  Everything is at lower prices than you're used to. Plus, shipments on perishables arrive daily, so everything is fresh.Also, when you buy Trader Joe's branded products, you're also buying GMO-free.

Go Joe!

                                 Good Quotes

~Plato, said, "You can discover more about a person in an hour of play, than in a year of conversation."

~Every child should have 2 things: a dog, and a mother who let him have one.

~When asked whether he ever confused a Bordeaux with a Burgundy in a blind tasting, British wine legend Harry Waugh replied: "Not since lunch.

   

 

"Look,  I eat really well and I work out, but I also indulge when I want to. I don't starve myself in an extremist way. You're not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I'd be devastated."

Jennifer Aniston
