Oh, I was in the depths of despair this evening. Sadness. Gloom.
I made the rounds of grocery stores today and couldn't find good peanut oil. Good peanut oil.
Planters? Nah.
Spectrum? Blech.
And then I remembered: Trader Joe's opens in Olympia tomorrow.
(*Homer Simpson drooling noise*)
Now, really. I make an effort to buy local stuff from local stores. My primary grocery store is the Olympia Food Co-op, followed by the Olympia Farmers' Market.
But Trader Joe's is my snack store. Our snack store. The People's snack store. Snooty Thurston County Peanut Oil Buyers' snack store. Affordable, laid back and organic-ish. Not only can I be sure of getting good peanut oil, but I can get naan, choooooocolate, Three Buck Chuck wine and explore international snack options.
Plus they are about the only folks who sell non-sweetened shredded coconut. But only around Christmas. Stock up while you can.
