Confessions of my Trader Joe's Shopping basket...
I start out with the noblest intentions..... My roommate is making us black bean soup tonight so technically there is nothing I actually need from Trader Joe's I'm just there for company but then Corona beer is on sale....Hey my cousin is coming over to have soup with us tonight and he loves Corona beer I'll get him a six pack (that's a noble deed) so now I've got a basket and a six pack of Corona and ooooooooooh the Mango Chicken Sausages those were delicious in that stir fry I made last week i think we need a repeat of that dinner......
So there I am not needing anything from Trader Joes with a basket in my hand with a six pack of Corona and Mango Chicken Sausages I guess that isn't too bad well what to we have here Extra Virgin Olive Oil and its on sale well were almost out at home that's a practical need. It is this point that story fades to black...... Because the next thing I know I'm checking out with a full basket of food including three boxes of different frozen appetizer treats and a bar of pound plus Belgium milk chocolate with almonds (for my cousin again, of course fully knowing he'll share with us) oh and heavy whipping cream for my big can of dark french roast coffee.......
Is Trader Joes one of those vortex's of the universe where you walk in with no intention of getting anything and the next thing you know your holding a basket of goodies with no knowledge of how they got in there.......
