I’ve learned that the secret to being a successful shopper at Trader Joe’s on the weekends is to either shop early or shop late. We are always there either first thing, within an hour of the store opening or around 8 pm at night. Any other time is an overcrowded mess that makes me want to get out ASAP, which means that I end up forgetting a bunch of things.

Here are this week’s purchases:

We are planning on making Greek couscous salad with seared pork chops, turkey meatballs with broccoli rabe and shrimp Caesar salad for our dinners. We usually have enough leftovers to make at least one of our meals to stretch into dinner the next day.

We also stocked up on fruit and veggies: grapefruit, pears, apples, grapes, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, spinach and baby kale. We also got yogurt, cereal and some of Alex’s favorite bars. Oh, and of course ice cream!

We usually pick up a few of their frozen meals which are perfect for busy days. The Kung Pao Chicken was recommended by a coworker, but we are yet to try it. We also always pick up some seltzer. Tommy and I are not big soda drinkers and we almost never keep it in the house, but we both love our seltzer. We also pick up cold cuts at a local deli for sandwiches and snacking.

Where do you do your grocery shopping? What are your grocery staples?
