Going food shopping tomorrow and I love trying new things from TJ's so let me hear all your must have items so I can add them to my shopping list.

I love the Cowboy Bark (or something like that) that's like a pretzel/chocolate/peanut brittle snack. So amazing, but probably not the best choice...although it's dark chocolate which makes it healthy, right!?

I love their Whole Wheat Cous Cous! Oh and there whole wheat Cinnamon english muffins! The goats milk gouda is also yummy! And really good baked teriyaki tofu. Oh, I just love Trader Joes. Their Tea Tree Shampoo is also great.

I am really into their frozen turkey meatballs. Organic tomato and red pepper soup. Honey greek yogurt. Wine. Wine. Wine;)

Deft veggie samosas. Mine also has these fresh baked pretzel bread sticks that are amazing. I also get their frozen steel cut oatmeal for my work freezer. And the mushroom asparagus tortellini (refrigerated). Love TJs.

I've never been to Trader Joe's, but I hear people talk about it all of the time. Please tell me why it is so wonderful? They recently opened one here from what I understand.

They have affordable organic options and a great prepared/frozen food section. And the one near me has booze and wine cheap too.

I work for TJs! I think everything is awesome. I stash chocolate covered marshmallows by the couch for my sweet treat lately. Horseradish hummus, chocolate ganache pastry, goats milk brie, frozen mac and cheese... All these things complete me!

Cookie butter!!!
We get a lot of snack foods there. I love everything I've tried. Chicken fried rice, potstickers, sesame chicken, even their frozen pizzas are really good!

MySunshine213 · February 2014

I pretty much only go there for 3 things- trail mix ingredients, French Berry Lemonade, and white cheddar corn puffs. Their chocolate/candy is good too, like the peanut butter cups and chocolate covered raisins.

What exactly is cookie butter, like what do you eat it on?

vargasgurl · February 2014

In love the Shrimp Gyoza , Cilantro Chicken Wontons , Tofu Edamame Nuggets , Chocolate Almond Granola !

MangoMama82 · February 2014

Cookie butter is mashed up cookies in a jar. Spread on toast, waffles, other cookies, or dollop onto ice cream. A spoon works, too. Plus we just came out with cookie butter that has chocolate in it.

jessjhh · February 2014

Honey wheat pretzels! Dip them in cookie butter.

Painterlady · February 2014

Cookie butter...cookies in peanut butter form. So good. Seriously, you'll die and go to heaven after eating it.

cmar1006 · February 2014

We love the frozen orange chicken. The sauce comes separate and you add it at the end. It keeps it from being all soggy and mushy. Seriously the best!

There really isn't much I have tried there that I didn't like. Can't really go wrong.

BMom99 · February 2014

Cookie butter! Herb pizza dough, gorgonzola crackers, blueberry goat cheese, frozen home fries, cheddar corn puffs.

LetsGoToDisney · February 2014

I love. love, love their yellow curry sauce.

I don't know if it was a seasonal item or not but they were pumpkin cranberry crisps. So delicious with goat cheese.

Deft seasonal. Sorry!

Pretty sure I just read this thread and my mouth is watering. I would love to try that cookie butter..ummm yum! No TJs near me sadly...

The original (I think) cookie butter is called Biscoff Spread and it's made with the Biscoff cookies you can get on an airplane. Biscoff spread can be found in Walmart, Publix, Harris Teeter, and a few other stores. Maybe even on Amazon? It's waaaaaaaaay better than TJs Cookie butter IMHO.

taylormarie923 · February 2014

I really need to make a trip to TJs. They just opened one up here and I have missed their food so much since moving. I am going to have to bite the bullet and pack up LO to fight the crowds.

hollydawnburke · February 2014

Oatmeal cranberry white chocolate fudge dipper cookies are my weakness... I bought a tub on Saturday and they are almost gone!! Oh and the dark chocolate coated pretzel chips are fabulous too.
