I have a Trader Joe in my neighborhood, walk over there a few times a week, None of these things interest me but I consider their Sweet Chili Sauce and their Mango Ice covered ice cream bars “basic food groups” as are their frozen organic mixed veggies which are out of stock more often than not.
Thanksgiving items listed sound terrible to me. Having dinner with many friends and only plan to bring a side dish of some kind of veggies.
Me too. I shop at Trader Joes and have some things from them that I like. But nothing on the Thanksgiving list for Trader Joes is ever on my list.
Thanksgiving is always when everything is homemade from scratch, everything. Even if someone else is hosting and my pick was to do/bring desert, I make the bake goods myself from scratch.
