Frugal Kitchen

I'd love an NT board here at iVillage. I had already been familiar with some of Fallon's eating concepts, but talking with someone who was actually doing it was a boon to looking and FINDING resources locally I never knew existed!

There is an entire subculture out there--even here in the boondocks--of folks eating healthier! I'd never have believed I'd find a scoby right here!!!

No time to be cl. Can't keep up with existing boards just as a reader!!!

I recall several on this board tooting about Trader Joe's.  I finally found one here in Raleigh, and got a chance to go a couple days ago.

Let me tell you...I was not impressed. 

First of all, I don't usually buy the organic food products because I don't personally see the value, and I am on tight purse strings.

When I can buy a gallon of skim milk for $2.15 at Costco, I don't see any reason for buying organic milk for $6.00 a gallon.

We went through the isles two times because they were crowded, and we both left the store empty-handed.  Actually, I didn't see anyone loaded up in their carts--just a couple items.

I still find Aldis having the most values.  I understand that Trader Joe's and Aldi's are both related by brothers.  I asked a worker at Trader Joe's.
