Meredith Goad: Not your average Joe’s | The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram

Meredith Goad: Not your average Joe’s | The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram

[I've never had a religious experience quite like those repressed in this food column in the Portland Press Herald, but I very much am a Trader Joe's fan and am happy that Portland appears to be getting its first TJ's. I visit the local Trader Joe's here in Stockton, Calif., at least once a week -- dry and hot cereal, bread, Indian dishes, cheese, hummus, crackers, spices, pasta and pasta sauce, olive oil, eggs, milk, booze and much more. I do stay away from some of the bagged produce because it doesn't stay fresh very long; part of that may be that much of it is organic so you have to use it pretty quickly anyway. The store here even carries Tom of Maine products. Overall, Trader Joe's is a good thing. Here's a link to the Trader Joe's website for a small idea of what they carry. -- KM]
