Trader Joe’s to the rescue

More than a week’s worth of groceries for under 50 bucks. Okay, so that might not be a bargain for a lot of people, but for the amount of food pictured here, and the quality it’s a total deal. Especially compared to Whole Foods (Which, just for the record, I love even if my bank account doesn’t. Side note- Whole Foods’ CEO John Mackey is totally sweet and is featured on the cover of the January issue of Reason. The article should be online soon… I will post a link when it’s up.).

Items pictured:

• Organic bananas
• Organic eggs
• Organic carrots
• Cranberries
• Raw milk cheddar cheese (inspired by raw milk cheese talk over at CastleGrok)
• Jalapeno chicken sausage (all natural, uncured)
• Seafood medley (shrimp, scallops, calamari rings)
• Uncured, no nitrite bacon
• Raw walnut halves and pieces
• Zucchini
• Organic peppers (triple pack of red, orange and yellow)
• Organic pink lady apples
• Mango black tea

The baby spinach is from WF. We stopped at the Dublin location to sample it up and have some gelato (I think I have diabetes after consuming 3095813095 grams of sugar today. Blargh.).
