We were over in Ft. Worth last week and I was super excited to FINALLY be able to check out Trader Joes.
I have 3 growing children. They are very active and certainly don’t need any help being hyper. I am really trying hard to eliminate white sugar (ESPECIALLY HFCS) from their diets. I have also read recently the dangers of some of the food coloring especially Red 40. So, I was super excited of the idea of stocking up at Trader Joes for foods that I know are not harmful to their growing bodys. I love having a stash of “good junk” that I can substitute or have them trade when they are given something with HFCS or Red 40 in it.
Thus the idea of taking them to Trader Joes to trade the bad for the good
For starters, each of the kids got a bag. They got to fill their bag with whatever they wanted. Mama wouldn’t say no to ANYTHING!
It took me 3 grocery carts to get out of the store. So whats in the bag?
Now….all the above were HUGE hits…..this not so much, but a mama’s got to try!
So excited that Trader Joes will be much closer VERY soon!!!

Love this! Love Trader Joe's! I am finding red 40 in so many more things (ice cream sandwiches?!). Did you find the gummy bears and lollipops? Throw the carrot juice in some smoothies or popsicles- they won't know it's in there ;)
Also, just found this today:
