You know you are independent from your parents when discount health food gets you excited. Rumors of Traders Joes opening in Portland teased us Vaction Landers for a couple years. Now that it has finally arrived i just cant get enough. I would not encourage buying all of your grocerys at Traders but there are somethings that you just cant deny its price and tastyness.

Things to try out at Trader Joes (all under $4.00):

tomato less salsa and traditional salsa

mandarin orange chicken

hansens tangerine lime soda

dumplings

2 buck chuck

crab cakes

chow mein

chili lime nut mix

terriyaki barbeque chicken

lemon, raspberry and chocolate sorbet

original hummus

Regardless to your diet Trader Joe’s provides consumers with decent kitchen filler for those nights that cooking is just out of the question. The asian dishes are cheaper than take out and there’s no msg!  So get your produce  and fresh meat from Whole Foods..bread from Big Sky and let Trader Joes do the rest.
