I never miss a chance to visit when we get down that way....and I will be looking at this post before I go next time! I love so many things at Trader Joe's but always come home with several bars of their lavender soap. I use it in the bath and just set it in the linen closet - nothing beats that wonderful scent and it lasts and lasts.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162841902328353969.post-58342375394811320752018-04-23T16:34:07.837-04:002018-04-23T16:34:07.837-04:00Great post and great items!

He loves it there, haha. So glad you picked up a bag of the Orange Chicken so yummy, make sure you put it in the oven and NOT try to pan cook it (doesn't come out and mostly just burns), also don't use all the sauce they give you, too much. Those peanut butter cups...holy moly, you're in for a treat, so good that you'll probably eat them all in one sitting, hehe. I really like the frozen fried rice, it's a good quick lunch or dinner. Get the chicken one, the veggie only one isn't as good. So many things...so good. Yay...so did you bring a cooler bag with you?Foxy's Domestic Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349449371975937570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162841902328353969.post-4605914294108814702018-04-17T10:24:57.363-04:002018-04-17T10:24:57.363-04:00So many great finds!!

The one we go to is not all that far, especially if we tie in a Costco run. People drive from Terre Haute to shop there. We buy sweet chili sauce, chile and lime seasoning, onion salt, used to buy bourbon vanilla until Alana bought her dad a kit and he made his own. We also buy the apples (if they have organic), Persian cucumbers, sheep cheese, goat cheese, tart cherry juice, organic chicken treats for the dogs, and English breakfast tea. They have a lovely orange blossom hand soap. We always buy a chocolate wand at the checkout. The Urban Farmer likes raspberry and I get the coffee one. They also have wonderful gingersnaps if you like them and chocolate lace cookies. The Midnight Moo is a very good chocolate sauce. Are you ready to make another TJ run? The most interesting grocery we have ever been in is Jungle Jim's in Fairfield, OH (close to Cincinnati). It is enormous and one of a kind. Dorothy Lane Market in Dayton is very chi-chi and has lots of goodies. The Urban Farmer and I are foodies...can you tell? ha! xoxoDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328333345401673320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162841902328353969.post-79978161444059406342018-04-17T02:07:43.322-04:002018-04-17T02:07:43.322-04:00Oh Mrs N, what are you doing to me?

Oh and first hop on a long-haul or two. But that's how much you've tempted me with those pics. It all looks so yummy and fun and it must be worth all my effort just so that I get to hang out with you guys and eat those goodies!

I used to go every other week when I was working, but haven't been since! Which is surprising, you'd think I'd have more time to head out there? I think I just used to love picking stuff up for lunch at work. I need to go again soon, because the kids love going with me! I always love trying their samples, too. I love their boxed soup mixes, yogurt, fruit bars, etc. I am going to pin this to look at before I go again. Now you have me hungry!<br /><br />Carrie<br />curlycraftymom.comCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646332034591536363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162841902328353969.post-12721386250939489772018-04-16T22:47:09.794-04:002018-04-16T22:47:09.794-04:00I love all of their crackers!!

For some reason that reduced guilt gauc gave me a stomach ache, but my mom really likes it. Their peppered turkey bacon is really good, as are their chicken sausages. Since I am a dark chocolate fan, I LOVE their dark chocolate peanut butter cups, so I can imagine you will love the milk chocolate kind. Those are my nightly sweet fix.
