Guest guest Posted September 27, 1999 Report Share Posted September 27, 1999 Hi, Marie, Trader Joe's website is www.traderjoes.com (duh!) :-) They have absolutely wonderful stuff, things you don't find in other markets. Very good prices. They have their own brand products (including wine) that's very good. They have a lot of low-fat, low-carb stuff (I read labels faithfully). I've never visited the website since I live less than a mile from one -- I'm there at least once a week, sometimes more -- but they also have a 1-800 number so if you need counts from packages I guess you could call them. It's 1-. They also have a newsletter that they put out three or four times a year that's really fun reading, too., Happy shopping!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 1999 Report Share Posted September 27, 1999 I would definitely be interested in Trader Joe's website address. We don't have one in this area.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 1999 Report Share Posted September 28, 1999 Hi, Marie, well, I checked the Trader Joe's website after I posted yesterday and if you've checked it...entertaining site but bad news, no mail order stuff. So unless there's a branch near you, you're out of luck. However, there are a few alternatives if it's soy nuts you're after: one, you could make 'em yourself (I can tell you how) or two, I can get 'em for you and mail it to you. Let me know.
