The place was practically deserted. What was even better was that the shelves were fully stocked.
I was in and out of there in record time.
Had people stocked up so well before Wednesday's blizzard and therefore did not need to go shopping for groceries?
I will have to remember to shop here the day AFTER a major snow storm.
Oh, and one more thing!
This is a little reminder to you guys out there. Now you can buy your sweetheart a dozen roses at Trader Joe's for Valentines. A dozen long stemmed red roses for under $20? You certainly have no more excuse to come home empty handed on February 14th! Just thought I would let you know, dear Reader.

Is your Trader Joe's a madhouse like the one in Union Square? It's so manic - the ones in California are very mellow by comparison.
The parking lots? That's another story.
It certainly is a madhouse on week-ends and at night.
And even during the week days, there are looong lines
only a newbie would stand on a loooong line for tj's.
Also, security was evidently a little lax. They are very hyper about photography in there. I spoke admiringly of the wonderful old bank details to a cashier there one day and expressed my interest in bring my camera back, and he said, watch out, they don't allow that. I did it anyway, on the down low. Another time I saw several obvious tourists being told there was no photography allowed.
Speaking of corporate dictatorships, find out where those roses come from before you buy. Most roses this time of year come from Central American factory farms which treat their workers horribly and use massive amounts of toxic pesticides. There's absolutely no romance there.
It goes fast! I've timed it.
It's funny about how they're concerned about security--what security? I've read about alot of pockets/purses being picked! Watch out people!
Katia i know where mr katia got your valentines day present from ;)
