Ok, so there’s just ONE thing I hate about Trader Joe’s and it’s that they frequently discontinue some of my favorite things.  I won’t get into specifics but I become quite attached to various products (Helloooo, puffy pancake balls) that later vanish from the store shelves. No explanation….no apology. Just….POOF….gone.

AND….really there’s another thing I dislike….when they completely rearrange the whole store.  We live kind of far from the nearest Trader Joe’s so when I get the chance to visit it’s usually a big deal….and it’s usually squeezed into a bunch of other errands so I have limited time.
