    When I went into this Trader Joe's recently, it felt like they've spread things out, maybe they…read morepared down the inventory for a more spacious feel? I know they have made some changes since it first opened, but it did feel sort of less cluttered. I say that because while the aisles felt wider, the produce less crammed, and a back corner reconfigured, I still have never mastered the art of shopping Trader Joe's. The placement of items seems so random to me, and unituitive. Why are there peanut butter cups and harissa above frozen vegetables? Why are cookies over nearly everything frozen from dinner entrees to breakfasts? It can be a little frustrating for 'compartmental shoppers.' If you want fresh flowers, make sure you go early in the day for the best selection. And if you're going for flowers near the end of the week, be also forewarned that a number of church flower guilds use TJ to create and/or supplement their weekly arrangements because TJ gets some unique flowers in smaller bunches at decent prices.

    Trader Joe's loses one star because they never have my lightly smoked sardines in olive oil…read moreanymore. Other than that, they haven't done me wrong yet. I've learned to love and appreciate the crowds of people picking their selections to make floral arrangements as I'm entering the doors. The other day people had baskets full and looked like they were having the time of their lives. I, however, had the time of my life browsing the aisles for some of my regular items and new exciting items to give a try.

    I love The Fresh Market. Growing up, my family lived right by the original one in North Carolina…read moreand we went all the time. They just have great stuff and some of the best quality meat in town. I'd recently heard about the $5 Thursday bistro meal deal, and was reminded to check it out. I'll be back on a Thursday! Today, I took home some sushi for lunch. Prices are the exact same as sushi from The Pig or Publix, but the sushi is so much better looking and tasting. The salmon and avocado roll was fantastic. The dairy section is small, but I should probably eat less dairy anyway. I enjoy walking around and seeing all the fun packaging (I tell myself I'm not falling for marketing gimmicks, just appreciating good design). The had some chicken breast and coffee creamer on BOGO free deals that I scooped up. The people at the check-out lines are always so nice. I believe there's a discount for UAB employees, too.

    Ordered the Valentine's Day Signature Meal kit-- we chose the one with sea bass cakes and filet…read moremignon, asparagus and mashed potatoes sides, two heart shaped chocolate cheesecake things and a bunch of roses. Pick up was simple at the deli counter with one lady running back and forth with each person in line. The sea bass cakes had minimal pieces of fish, the filet mignon that I sous vide at 135 and seared tasted gamey and bloody. The asparagus came in a bag to be microwaved and the mashed potatoes just needed to be warmed. Wished the asparagus were actually prepped with the ends removed. Not sure if my husband and I will do this again. Will probably piece meal the parts together and prep the meat and veggies appropriately since we have to cook it all anyway. The chocolate heart desserts were the best part.
