make sure you get sugar free. I just got 6 at TJMAxx for $5.99 each for the large bottles.

For the DaVinci's Syrup, check in your phone book to see if you have a United Grocer Cash & Carry near you. They carry the full line of both Torani and DaVinci's sugar free syrups for about $4 each.

(roughly 20 minutes!!!! )

That is exciting... it just made my day...

Thanks guys!!!

Trader Joe's is the coolest! I love that store.

I hate seeing all the fab high carb stuff they have that are now off limits, but hey.


They have great meats and fish in the frozen food section. A whole aisle of nuts. Great cheeses. Plugra butter - which is worth low carbing for alone! Amazingly well priced wine. Olives and pickles and pates.
And an ever growing section of low carb stuff - I even got "carb safe" double chocolate cookies there.

Also, the lavender and mint shower oil/salt scrubs are to die for. I dunno if they help with stretch marks, but I'm pretending they do.

PUMPKIN SEEDS!!!! TJ's pumpkin seeds rock! 1g of carbs and 1g of fiber! How cool is that! The one near me also has Atkins Ice Cream and the best jalapeno tartar sauce. I love the Hanson's Ginger Ale with a dash of the Vanilla syrup - very tasty! I love the nitrate free bacon (it is also lower in sodium) and all the cheeses. Good proscuito (sp?) , too! Enjoy!

Here are our favorites:

Tamari almonds
Tartar sauce w/ jalapeno
Smoked chicken breast
Garlic herb cheese (similar to Rondele... costs a lot less)
Eggs (very fresh .... really low prices)
Carbolite bars (good seliction and prices)
Frozen scallops & shrimp

and... fresh orchids (plants & stems)

thanks for all the input everyone
I got some wine, LC marinara sauce, whey protein powder, osolo rolls, LC bread, hansens diet soda. am well stocked on mac nuts and mac nut butter and LC homemade jam. Also got from whole foods, some flaxseeds, wheat and oat brans. The store was a lot smaller than I expected. I forgot to get the stevia and some other things, but I expect we'll be going back before winter hits, because the whole area had lots of cool stores. And some very interesting looking restaurants too that would have been a big hit in the old days -- it's in a very hip area.
