When did this happen? Was there some walnut blight I didn't hear about that destroyed half the crop this year?</p> I bought some walnuts in bulk from QFC yesterday and was shocked to find they were actually more expensive than the pecans in the next bin.

We save a ton each week by shopping there. I generally don't like to buy produce there, but it is pretty hit and miss, but cheese, wine, chocolate, nuts, olive oils and vinegars, all great stuff at amazing prices.</p> <p>Back in the summer I was eating a lot of buffalo moazzarella, and the price difference between TJs and Whole Foods was crazy - and this was the same brand of cheese too. TJs I remember was half the price.</p> Trader Joes really is a gold mine. We save a ton each week by shopping there.
