I think Greenville is perfect for a Trader Joe's. I would've shopped there had it been around when I was in school.

Word to the wise, it's no longer 2BuckChuck; they're calling it 3DollaHolla now. :-q :-q :-t ~x( =; 8-} [-x
I had heard it was still 2BuckChuck in Californication but 3BuckChuck in North Cackalackey because they had to "sell" it to the ABC bunchabastards Board who then sold it back to Trader Joe's with an extra Buck added for the alkiehol tax.
That's all true.

When I grow up, I want to be the NC ABC Board. :))

Miles has reminded me: in addition to the TJs in CH and Raleigh, I've also shopped at the TJs in Charlotte--the one near downtown, or is it uptown?

There are three now! WOO HOO. One by my parents near the University, downtown/uptown :-) and one way out in ticky tacky land.

Me too, but I prefer fresh vegetables whenever possible.....hence, my vote for "other".
Love, Ima
I agree 100% with these two posts.

Fortunately, in Kentucky, we have a lot of good local produce in the summer and fall. We buy from the farmers and farmer's markets when possible. We also buy our beef directly from the local cattle farms. 3:-O
