We don't have the bikini babes or soccer moms in yoga outfits. Nope . . . we've got the patchouli oil long hair dope smoking prius driving NH beatkik crowd at 'my' store. And due to a wacky MA law, no more than 3 stores in a grocery chain are allowed to sell beer & wine. My TJ's is not one of those . . . damned shame since two-buck chuck (actually $3 in MA) is a decent value. <BR/><BR/> - Brad<BR/><BR/>.Brad_in_MAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-20662103163790727152009-04-08T11:44:00.000-04:002009-04-08T11:44:00.000-04:00I love Trader Joes.

I mean, seriously, I giggled, but the humor kept getting lost at "wait, only a dollar? What? The bananas were what a pound?"<BR/><BR/>One of the standard fun things to do with lower 48 houseguests is to take them grocery shopping and watch them recoil in horror at regular milk being $5 a gallon and everything else priced similarly - but I forgot that the other end of that hits just as hard.On a Wing and a Whimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754595334684845895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-74956269578224251402009-04-07T12:09:00.000-04:002009-04-07T12:09:00.000-04:00I really enjoyed the vid.
