Americans need to stand up for our friends and allies.

[stylecouncilor]

I’ll be stopping by Trader Joe’s after work today!

"Americans need to stand up for our friends and allies. "

Amen to that, FRiend.

I like TJ's--there is no TJ here in central Fla (not FL) where I live; but we make it a point to stop by there whenever we're in e.g., Atlata, etc. Good beer, Rogue brewery and several other that cannot be found around here locally.

Trader Joe’s also doesn’t sell items made in China. On top of that, the quality of their food is excellent and it often beats the prices charged at other local grocery stores.

There is a list of the organization who are pushing this boycott here:

Some are the usual suspects, some more eye-opening.

I get Israeli couscous at my health food store.

[Born to Conserve]

I stopped buying anything grown in Israel back in the 70s when I saw a report on heavy metals in citrus . . .

[jiggyboy]

What else should I look for besides couscous? Canned goods? Any brand names come to mind? I’m not ready to start trying to a lot of stuff in a new cuisine from scratch.

[DogBarkTree]

Trader Joe’s has great products at a great price. Their stores are clean and the staff actually appears to like their jobs.

I love TJ’s but have to travel to Ann Arbor to shop there. I love their graham crackers and my husband *adores* their nut-based cereals. I buy the fruit strips for my daughter and would shop there more often if it weren’t 30 miles away.

[hoosiermama]

Bought a new greenhouse made in Isreal by RION, Less expensive and more insulation than other models....If anyone is in the market check them out.

[FreepShop1]

I doubt Trader Joe’s needs much support. No one takes these nutbags seriously. I live near a TJ’s and it is packed every single day. They make a mint. Ironically Trader Joe’s has been owned since 1977 by a former Nazi soldier, Theo Albrecht in Germany, who is now the 16th richest man in the world, and has close ties with Jewish groups. So a big “danke schoen” to Mr. Albrecht for resisting these modern Nazis of the Jew-hating left.

We typically shop there once or twice a month.

[TightyRighty]

This has nothing to do with TJ’s (I really like them, though!) - but if you’re looking to support Israeli made products - check out Seacret. They are beauty products made from minerals from the Dead Sea. It’s a bit pricey but worth it. We found them at a kiosk in the mall - they also have a website.

[EyeGuy]

Fine. They like Israel.

Of MUCH more importance, is how do they feel about America?

Traditional America.

[sitetest]

I just sent them an e-mail thanking them for not giving in to the anti-Semite bigots of the world.

It is a little-known fact that 20% of the generic drugs sold in the US are made in Israel by Teva Pharmaceuticals. If you are receiving a generic drug, ask your pharmacist if Teva makes an equivalent, and to fill your prescription with that drug.
