i need to discuss trader joe's. so, here it is: my skin crawls at the thought of this place. i went there today with eliot and explained to my little boy why i was so frustrated with this store! it is a nightmare of packaging in the produce section. things that don't need plastic boxes, cases, cardboard, and bags consume the area. it overflows with potential trash. the packaging they use is not even reusable. pathetic. makes me crazy- obviously. everyone always raves about trader joe's. i stopped going while living in santa monica because the parking lot was a tiny nightmare. sometimes i'd run in for their mango salsa, which i still love. and when i was pregnant and right after i gave birth i was addicted to the frozen french toast. i need to just beg this worthwhile company to quit it with the produce packaging. for now i won't be going back.
I think some of the produce packaging, the cherry tomatoes are in a compostable container. They are made out of sugar cane or corn or something, compostable material. But the belle peppers are not in compostable trays. I like trader joes because it is affordable, and they have more stuff than fred meyers. 😉 Frozen mangoes and pineapple and cherries for smoothies.
that's good to know some are compostable!
At Fred meyers the organic produce is almost alway packed in this compostable plastic. I am SO happy to see more of it lately.
