Trader Joe's run on the Peoria.com Forums

I'm not saying anytime soon, but would anyone be interested in doing a road trip to Trader Joe's? I'm familiar with one of the stores in St. Louis. Could get "orders" from other people and go. Of course, there a few micro-breweries around.....

@Chef Kevin:

You should hit the Hill while you're down there.. some good Italian delis and grocers in that area.. not to mention good food and Shaw's coffeehouse! Vitales bakery...best ricotta donuts!

@stayathomemommy:


I get down there quite a bit as I have friends living in St. Louis area again. Haven't revisted the Hill of late, but have been to other areas. I just thought that since every time Trader Joe's comes up in conversation, most every one dreams of having one here and roadtrippin' it there might be fun to do now that I know how to get there. I'll keep the suggestions you listed in mind next time I head down.

Which one are you going to?

Can't you just go to Aldi's and get the same stuff in different packaging?

I would like to place an order for some chocolate.

Did you know that aldi's is owned by the same people? Some times you can get the same stuff in different packaging. I'm pretty sure the crackers and some of the chips are the same.

No thanks, I live about 2 miles from TJ's. Lots of awesome stuff there for weight watchers and splurgers!
