RIP Trader Joes Unripened Brie

Trader Joe's Unripened Brie

That picture was taken the evening of February 20, 2013. Obviously there was still a lot of the unripened brie left. Few days ago I went back to get a few more before the month of February was official over and it was gone. There was not a brie left in sight. Well RIP. It was fun while it lasted and I'll just have to ration the two I have in the fridge. Maybe I'll go check a different Trader Joe's this weekend to see if maybe there are still some on the shelves. Hopefully Trader Joe's brings it back one day.

Trader Joes Unripened Brie

 

 I don't know what I would do with out Trader Joe's. The have a great selection food and I don't have to worry about coupons because their prices are reasonable. Well they don't take coupons anyways. I always make sure I hit up the sample table. This time I stumbled up on Trader Joe's Unripened Semi-Soft Brie. I took at sample and I love it. So I walked around to do the rest of my shopping nothing thinking much of the cheese besides that its really good. As I'm back near the sample table, I overhear that this brie is their spotlight cheese for February and that their spotlight cheese are usually a limited supply for the month which don't come back unless high demand. After hearing that I had to get the brie and another sample. I've never really paid much attention the the details of the Fearless Flyer and had no idea about their spotlight cheeses. I don't know if their spotlight cheese are a way for them to test new products, but doesn't make any sense for them not to bring something back if it sells well. I mean even the McRib comes back. They can't just tease customers with this cheese which we may or may not be able to buy in the future. Then I rather not have known about in the first place. In the mean time I'll just have to start hording this cheese some how. Ha ha. I love brie, but its such a hassle to eat the ones with the rind. I've tried the brie with the edible rind, but I can't take it for some reason. This brie is so yummy and soft. I would hate to have this cheese disappear in some deep fromage abyss.

Trader Joe's Strawberry Chia Smoothie

Trader Joe's Strawberry Chia Smoothie

Yesterday at Trade Joe's I stumpled upon Strawberry Chia Smoothie. Its $2.99 for a 16oz. Of course since I love strawberries the smoothie was delicous and you get the benfits of the chia seeds. Since I have a blendtec these days I don't buy premade juices or smoothies unless they are on sale or I have a coupon. Even on sale premade juice and smoothies can get costly. Also they tend to have alot of sugar even though some brands don't add sugar. I would definatley but it again, but on a ocasional basis.
