every morning i thank God for Trader joes

Trader Joe's has the BEST peanut butter (have you tried their chocolate-covered peanut butter pretzels)?

Unfortunately, there's no Trader Joe's in my new city....but thank goodness we have 3 Starbucks. I don't know what I'd do without my morning latte!

trader joes now has organic peanut butter.
havent done the pretzels yet( they know we like chocolate there!)
but Licorice scotties and the bon bons and of course the almonds treated
with sugar of some kind and the almond chocolate bars and the tapico pudding and the chocolate pudding.
yesterday I went there and did NOT BUY CHOCOLATE
this was because of a serious laspe at See's Candies on Friday.
