I just came across this, and saw buying milk at TJ’s was “risky business,” and thought, huh? But this was written years ago, so maybe there were problems back then. I only buy milk at TJs, because a quart is about 30 to 50 cents less than anyplace else in my neighborhood.

Lu, I have no stores in Northern California. Regardless I took up the cause, as I desire to see you get sauced. Get ahold of Don Louie in Colorado Springs. He makes Dress The Dragon, and chances are good he will ship it to you. NOW GO GET SAUCED!

One of the good things about TJ’s is that they’re always adding new products. The bad thing is that they’re always discontinuing stuff without warning to make room for the new stuff (I miss my ratatouille).

today was the day…your lives will be changed in a big way from this day on, manhattanites:

it’s so sad but true: any time you fall deeply, hopelessly in love with a product, it will–like the perfect lover–disappear without proper warning, forever, into the dust.

Last year, the chalkboard sign on top of the Charles Shaw section (in the Silver Lake store)read “Two Bucks Chuck.” Is that the official appellation? I know everyone calls it Two Buck Chuck…

Well, I shop at Whole Foods and one time they had so many shopping in the store that they had to close the store for a 20 minutes to a any new shoppers in order to avoid overcrowding. It gets just crazy like that in Union Square. Imagine when TJ opens? I don’t think that there is going to be elbow room for anyone. They probably will have to close the store from time to time until enough people leave.

That said, I will try to elbow my way in when it opens tomorrow. I love TJs.

Plugra Butter. Once you’ve tried it you will change your mind. Plugra is possibly the number one reason I shop at TJ’s.
