One can almost entirely subsist

One can almost entirely subsist on food from Trader Joe's. It's got pasta, dairy, canned goods, sauces, some produce, frozen meats, lots of junk food, and plenty of alcohol. But it just seems like such a freakishly yuppie thing to do. Nevertheless, I was stoked when I found a new product in the cooler case: pre-peeled garlic cloves. Not the mashed garlic in oil, but honest-to-goodness garlic cloves, all separated and peeled. A six-ounce jar for $2.25 is about three times more expensive than buying regular old garlic bulbs, but laziness won out this time. Hey, this is way better than sliced bread, in my opinion. I've never been much for sliced bread anyway. There was also peeled and sliced mango for $3.10. Okay, I'm not that lazy.
