This
was
the
first
time
I've
ever
been
inside
a
Trader
Joe's.
I
used
to
see
them
but
had
no
time
to
actually
go
inside.
It
wasn't
until
my
wife
started
bringing
home
Cookie
Butter
that
I
realized
this
place
was
a
contender.
The
day
we
went
here
wasn't
the
best
of
days
for
either
of
us.
Someone
in
our
life
was
doing
horrible
things
in
our
family
that
made
her
sad
🥺,
which
in
turn,
made
me
mad.
😠
Little
by
little,
the
toughness
on
my
face
started
chipping
away
as
I
strolled
through
the
aisles.
I
walked
in
like,
"This
place
isn't
that
big
of
a
deal!"
But
then
as
I
looked
at
product
after
product,
things
I
had
never
seen
before
in
my
life,
I
started
to
find
myself
getting
happier
and
happier.
I
was
so
angry,
in
fact,
that
I
even
felt
mad
at
myself
for
being
so
angry,
because
it
ended
up
looking
like
I
was
angry
at
my
wife,
instead
of
me
just
being
angry
at
the
situation.
So
I
felt
like,
"You
don't
even
deserve
to
go
home
with
anything
nice
to
eat!
Just
look
around,
support
your
wife's
shopping,
and
walk
out
empty-handed!
DO
IT!"
But
there
was
like
so
much
goodness
in
this
store,
almost
like
a
child's
laughter,
that
I
just
couldn't
take
being
angry
and
self-loathing
anymore!
So
I
went
back
to
every
aisle
I
had
passed
up
before
and
started
deeply
examining,
and
throwing
in
our
cart,
all
the
things
I
had
wanted
but
was
too
"tough"
to
give
a
chance!
Long
story
short,
go
to
this
place.
Stock
up
on
things
you
like
and
feel
like
a
better
man
afterward
for
doing
so!
And
try
out
the
peanut
butter
cocoa
bars!
