But a cat can dream... Oh, I am hoping and praying for a Trader Joe's.  It's so hard to eat naturally from a grocery store on a budget.  At Trader Joe's, the prices are great and you know there aren't any preservatives and other yucky things.  Plus, their caramelized onion and cheese tarts are to die for!  Not to mention, the Two Buck Chuck. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/christibdce/9205/#c_89461 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/christibdce/9205/#c_89461 Oh, I am hoping and praying for a Trader Joe's.  It's so hard to eat naturally from a grocery store on a budget.  At Trader Joe's, the prices are great and you know there aren't any preservatives and other yucky things.  Plus, their caramelized onion and cheese tarts are to die for!  Not to mention, the Two Buck Chuck.
