Since discovering Instacart, I rarely visit the grocery store anymore. I appreciate the convenience of shopping from my phone and having our groceries delivered weekly. While there are drawbacks like not picking out my own produce or poor substitutions for coffee, such as decaf (c’,mon), the benefits outweigh the cons.
There is one exception: Trader Joe’s. It’s conveniently close to my home, and at least twice a month, I summon the energy to shop there in person. I never regret these trips because, as many of you may know, Trader Joe’s offers unique items that have become family favorites and you just can’t find them elsewhere.
