Trader's is quite the find, isn't it. The annoying part is that, whenever we shop there, we have to hit another food shop to supplement (usually to get produce - their fruit and veg, at least at the one near us - is consistently second-rate). But, the good part is, if we are craving something ethnic (lovely selection of Indian treats), something special (wonderful tuna steaks), or something something (whatever!), they have it when no one else does. And, even better, they have it at a decent price. So we go. Ah well. Yet another opportunity to shop.
