      I will toast his memory with a glass of two-buck chuck.

        I didn't realize he was 88. I'll have to make a trip out to the cities to TJ's in his honor.

          Cheers! (I don't have any either ...) I think tomorrow I'll make an all-TJ's lunch in his honor (thank God for our TJ's delivery service!)

            I used to love Aldi when I was living in Germany. I always did my weekly shopping there and it seemed no matter how many bags of groceries I carried out of the store, I still somehow couldn't manage to spend more than the equivalent of $45.

              We have an Aldi here, but I haven't ever been to it. Is it related to Trader Joe's? I'll have to check it out. I love the idea of a $45 grocery bill!

                Wow. I miss TJ's! I use to go when I lived on the outskirts of the city: Oh i miss the pre-made frozen lobster bisque for 2.49....mmmmm. I need to make a trip out and relive the memory!

                    We have an Aldi here!!!! Their brand of coffe/chocolates taste like the real thing! I love going there. I have a babysitter right now. I'm eating lunch and then going. Anyone want something? I'll ship it.

                      Trader Joes was started by the same guy that started Aldi's.

                        Kris and Alison-

                        Don't forget I've got the entire German food section at the Commissary- including the curry ketchup!
