My son and I took a whirlwind trip to the beach this weekend.  The first three hours of the drive home is chock full of nothing. Although I did appreciate the solar farms. We were both pretty hungry by the time we made it to Winston-Salem, which made for a perfect excuse to stop at Trader Joe’s. Oddly enough we ran into a teacher from his school while we were there. We were both 80 miles from home. So Trader Joe’s decision-makers, if you’re reading this, open a store in Boone.

It was difficult to make decision on this spontaneous Trader Joe’s visit. I didn’t have adequate time to research and plan. I didn’t have my insulated bag and ice packs! This prompted me to ask The Chaney Group team to name their favorite TJ’s products.
