It can be tempting to view grocery shopping as a chore, but if you ask folks who shop at Trader Joes, you'll actually find that stocking your fridge with healthy foods is pretty fun! The Lafayette location of this popular chain grocery store focuses on food that it feels good to buy, from the price tags to the ingredients inside.

You might get a kick out of knowing that the strawberries you buy at Trader Joe's were grown just a few miles down the road at a local family-owned farm, or you might appreciate that coffee you purchase in bulk comes from a fair trade farm that provides quality working conditions and fair pay. More simply, you'll certainly enjoy exploring the wide variety of unique, organic products the store carries. Interested in hand-stuffed link sausages in varieties like sage and thyme chicken sausage or mango pork sausage? You can find both of these in the meat department. How about wines produced at small family vineyards? There's a whole wall to choose from here. Whatever you need, you'll find it at a low price at Trader Joe's.
