Rad Video of the Day: Fan Made Trader Joe’s Commercial!

When Trader Joe’s opened its first store in Manhattan it completely changed my life, and it is still the primary grocery store in which I shop, even when it means I must stand in a line that snakes all the way through the store and back to the entrance.

Trader Joe’s Forever!
