Trader Joes landing in Union Square, NYC
Trader Joe's operates over 200 stores across 19 states (according to their website), and only recently announced that it will be opening a location in Manhattan - the "center of universe" according to NY natives. Even more amusing is that LosAnjealous blogger offers New Yorker newbies some advice on "how-to-shop" at Trader Joes.To seasoned TJ shoppers, every bit of advice is on the button. Take for instance, this excerpt on "selection":
Once inside, the temptation to buy everything in sight is strong; after all, the shit is cheap. If you are on foot, this actually makes it easier, limiting your take from the get-go. You really should only be coming out of TJ’s with a bag or two per visit. It generally takes a few visits’ worth of trial and error to arrive at your core TJ’s list and then you’ll work from that, adding on an experimental seasonal selection here and there.
