if shopping at, bragging about, overall loving everything sold and/or made by trader joe’s was an olympic sport, i’d certainly win gold every time. you know that saying, “gosh, if you love it so much, why don’t you marry it?” i’m like [   ] close to proposing to the grocery store chain and making an honest man out of him (i’m assuming it’s a him because, well, joe). anyway, what can i say about trader joe’s that hasn’t already been said (probably by me)? not much. so we’ll make this short and sweet.

so today i’m thankful for trader joe’s. for its clever product names and vast array of greeting cards and beautiful floral bouquets and delicious unsweetened almond milk. i’m grateful that walking through its doors makes me feel like home. that the employees aren’t just employees but comrades and that sometimes when my friends shop there, they automatically think of me (if i had to be associated with anything, it would be tj’s). i love everything about this grocery store chain. so while it may seem trivial, i still want to give credit where credit is due. thanks for existing, joe.
