Trader Joe's has great cheeses, and the frozen pastries and tortes are good. I haven't been terribly impressed with the frozen meals.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Pub cheese!!
Man, I have to buy that for The Boy every week. He's addicted to it, on pretzels.
I love their shelf-stable microwaveable Thai lime rice. I sautee scallops and then serve them over the rice and it is awesome.
Also, they have crackers made out of edamame that are, ISTG, made of some kind of magic heroin or something. I cannot stop eating them.
And their gluten-free ginger snaps are tasty. (As are their Joe-Joe's, which are not gluten-free, but I still have them once a week.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I try not to buy it every week. For a while I was all about those half-cracker, half-pretzel crackers from the supermarket, but then I tried it on the rice crackers, and now I'm sold.

Sparky, there's a Wegman's in Fairfax, isn't that closer than 60 miles? I know there's a few in Virginia, it was big news when they opened (shortly before I left town--I never ended up going there). Not that Fairfax is exactly easy shopping, but on a weekend if you were heading there for some other shopping too...

Now tagless for your comfort.
There are only two TJ's in my entire state. Both are over a two hour drive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pharmacy won't give me my pain meds. First it hadn't been refilled, then I hadn't been prescribed it, then they didn't carry it. In three minutes. Now it is a controlled substance they have to verify. Dude, it was refilled this morning. I get it every week. My doctor knows. Now the manager is looking into it. I'm going to throw a fit, and of course I have to breathe through an adrenaline dump.
I hate new people.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
that I hate with the passion I have for their
... Damn! This reminds there is one thing at TJ's that I fiery passion HATE but I can't remember what it is.
From my extensive knowledge gained by spending about 90 seconds on their website*, Wegman's looks like an awesome grocery store where you can buy things that you can buy (in their original packaging) in groceries stores, so not precisely like TJ's, but they look awesome.

I am hating on your behalf as well. Give ita her pain meds or she will share her pain, dude.

Everything crackers. I shouldn't buy them.
There's a Wegman's up in Hunt Valley, but it is a wee bit too overwhelming and the shoppers are craaaaazed, man. And dark. I don't like dark grocery stores.

The Chicago NW 'burbs have a mini-chain of supermarkets called Caputo's, which started out as an Italian fruit/veggie market and has grown extensively. They have the best selection of just about every fruit and veggie (except, for some reason, apples), and their Italian food selection is terrific. After I discovered them and took my mom there once, she would ask if we could stop by the store every time she came to visit. The prices there are the best thing about them--I walk out of there with four bags of produce, pasta, and other assorted groceries for less than $12.
