Glad to know that.
My ex is on faculty at the Univ of Pitt (school of medicine - he’s not a total libtard) so he’ll prob want her to go there since it’ll be free but still, I plan on pushing the GC issue.

Great response to the empty headed students. We’re doomed if this is all that is being raised today. Why parents still send their kids to public colleges is beyond my understanding.
Good answer!
These kids are also the Obama voters.
No use in wasting your time with a pampered skull full of mush.
Thanks for sharing. These idiot college students need to be challenged like that!
“Oh yeah? Well, does your family come to Trader Joe’s legally, lady?” Huh?
ROFL If this is an example of the brilliance of college students these days, we’re in deep Kim Chee. LOL

Working through some 2 buck chuck?
For the most part, you are correct. Trader Joe's is basically a gentrified version of Aldi's. I do shop there on occasion as they have an excellent nut selection and I often buy their flash-frozen fish and lamb chops, which are higher quality (for frozen food) then you find in other supermarkets.
However, it is loaded with high-calorie, high-fat junk food. The labeling and packaging on this junk food makes it seem like you are eating something healthy but after reading the nutritional information, you might as well be buying Doritos and Ring Dings at the local Walmart.
If you are able to resist the temptation of all the junk foods, you can find some healthy food items and in addition to the nuts, they have a pretty decent produce and cheese section as well.

If you are into wine and not too snobby about it, there are excellent deals on table wines as well.
I love going to ‘The Burgh’ shopping, just where is TJ located there? I usually go to Robinson Twp.area, love the Costco there...
I’m in Southwestern, PA. lived in Ohio 50+ years, we return to OH. twice yearly for hubby’s heart check ups...and I hit the Marc’s and Trader Joe’s there at that time...
It always makes me happy when I hear about a place I like being picketed by leftos. I’d pledge to go to TJ’s more often except that I go there a lot as is. I’ll just feel so much better buying there knowing some idiot college leftie is out there somewhere getting that much more angry.
Probably about a half and hour and a fair amount of city traffic.
Google Maps: Trader Joe’s near Pittsburgh, PA
Beats the heck out of Slippery Rock
Our TJs is in East Liberty.....total ghetto. It’s not a big store but it suits me. I agree with an above post that says it does have lots of high-calorie snack food however, their ingredients don’t have the horrid preservatives & additives as other “mainstream” junk like Doritos, etc, so I buy my daughter’s cookies there & ice cream. Besides that, I buy organic veggies & wild caught fish as well as natural meats. I buy my grass-fed beef at Whole Foods which is down the street from TJs between East Liberty & Shadyside.
Trader Joe’s Spicy Black Bean Dip combined with their Blue Corn Chips is a treat we look forward to on our annual trips to California.
Good for you.
Most Americans just accept this in-your-face left-wing agitation without comment and go about their business. These little prats need to know that most people do not agree with them.
