Soon.

I’ve become a habitual Trader Joe’s shopper lately. Matt and I go every Sunday to get our lunches and dinners for the week. I’ve never been good at keeping food in the house, but these days my freezer is full of delicious fish and vegetables and there are healthier items in the refrigerator and on the counter, like hummus, apples and fresh green beans. The best part of it is that it’s all so cheap.

I still get my Zazz from Stop & Shop, though.

I was covering a recent mayoral debate in Springfield. One of the comments from a candidate that got the most applause was about the desire to have a Trader Joe’s in Springfield. It makes sense. Affordable and healthy food should be accessible to all communities, especially cities.
