How to C better

My Trader Joe’s has been a bit understocked lately. Nearing the end of a huge jar of gummyvites, I stopped at TJ’s to get a replacement. There were none, but I had about a week’s worth or so, so I didn’t panic.

I waited a week, went back … still no gummyvites. Panic.

I looked a little closer, hoping to see a straggling, overlooked jar of vites. No luck. However, I did discover multiple smaller jars of Gummy C. Being cold-and-flu season, C’s a pretty important vitamin in the mix. While waiting for the multigummies, I picked up a jar of pure C.

Halloween at Trader Joe’s: Treat or treat

Of course – of course! – Trader Joe’s is a great place to stock up for a Halloween party! Even without Halloween-themed items, it’s a no brainer, even for a zombie.

But, Trader Joe’s being Trader Joe’s, there are many Halloweenish goodies for your partying pleasure. Cases in point:

Halloween Cookies from Trader Joe’s

(The picture on the cookies box reminds me of the squirrel that got his head stuck in a Halloween decoration.)

Ghoulie Gummy yummies

And for the thirsty adult…

Dearly Beloved wine

I hope that these give you a start in preparing for your Halloween celebration. If you’re on the East Coast, please stay safe this week through Hurricane Sandy. I hope the wind and water subside before Wednesday.

Take good care.

Thank you, Trader Joe’s.
