In our increasing attempts at making healthier, greener life choices, my family and I were thrilled with our visit to Trader Joe’s in Lake Zurich, IL.

We didn’t know what to expect, but we were pleased to find variety, and some natural and organic alternatives, at reasonable prices. Among our purchases was vegetable root chips which satisfied my need for a potato chip alternative. We are also going to try a laundry detergent that contains no phosphates or formaldehyde, and is safer for the water system.

If you’d like to give Trader Joe’s a try, you can visit their web site to find a location near you.

Making healthier, greener choices can be a bit overwhelming. If you take it in steps, you’ll find it to be an easier journey. Our current strategy is looking for choices that contain less (or none) of the ingredients, preservatives, etc. that we want to avoid.

Best wishes,
