THE DAY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! Trader Joe's Opens in South Tampa!

Hello LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers:

The day that most Tampa Bay residents have been waiting for has finally arrived - Friday, March 21, 2014 - the day Trader Joe's opens in South Tampa!

In honor of this great event, here's a link to my post about my absolute FAVORITE Trader Joe's product.  

While I am very happy that Trader Joe's has finally come to Tampa (I drove by at least 10 Trader Joe's this past weekend in Los Angeles and cheered every time I saw one!), you won't find me at the South Tampa Trader Joe's for at least a couple of weeks because I don't want to go to prison for running over elderly people with a shopping cart.  I went to the Naples and Sarasota Trader Joe's close to their opening dates and was amazed at how many elderly people were doing the slow shuffle muttering "where are the Ritz crackers?"

Ahhh old people, you just don't understand!

P.S.  My love of Trader Joe's has finally rubbed off on my step-father.  Last time he came to visit Tampa he gave me his recommendations on favorite Trader Joe's products (and brought me some too- yay!)  I take credit for his conversion, although I think it was the cat-shaped cookies that actually won him over!  One of my most recent Trader Joe's faves is their square-shaped brie.  It is perfect for slicing and putting in my tabletop swiveling raclette maker (see a picture of it here.)  What is your favorite Trader Joe's product?
