Trader Joes has some of the best unique items not found anywhere else. Chili lime cashews and pear salad dressing in-cre-di-ble on my special salads. I used to love the pad thai noodle bowls, and specially packaged chicken breasts for one. \n\nThe problem is that so many special trips made for these items and they would never be there!! Well, the noodle bowls and chicken. Often I would have to make several stops at separate locations to get all the things on my shopping list. Dang! I don't have that kind of time. I used to get the pre-packaged salads but on a couple of occasions bit into somethiing tendony in the salads with chicken, which are most of them. After that I lost my appetite for the salads. One of the hugest staples that I pick up at the store. Thinking about it now... Gross and never again. Slowly I have fazed out Trader Joes to once every couple of months. I cook a lot from scratch and need a variety of ingredients they don't carry. I need to stop more often and try new things. Yay for coming to Pittsburgh!
