There really is no good time to shop at Trader Joe's

And by “good” I mean “aisles not packed to the rafters/lines that can be got through in a human lifetime”. This became clear today, around 2 pm, when I thought, nay assumed, many people would be at work or at least, not grocery shopping. I guess they all thought the same thing that I did.

On a side note, there was a Patagonia geared up gent who seemed to have the Trader Joe’s shopping trip down to a science – it looked like he was stocking up for winter. And the bags and bags of frozen fruits! I think he single-handedly cleared out their frozen fruit section. But he’s smart, see. He won’t have to come back to spend his whole afternoon in line until the spring thaw.
