What's on your Trader Joe's shopping list?

I am in a rut-- I've been buying pretty much the same stuff for the past couple of years.

  • pizza dough (and sauce and cheese)

    tikki masala sauce

    this BLANK walked into a bar bars

    the fresh salsa

    dark chocolate covered pretzels

    the frozen, breaded eggplant

    roasted vegetable lasagna (it's frozen)

    frozen risotto (I've bought both the asparagus and the mushroom)

    the mushroom soup (it's like a "better" ramen - DH likes it)

    DH bought a yummy tapenade - roasted pepper and something.  It was by the sauces.

     Oh - you know what are good?  The yogurt stars - they're a small sugar cookie dipped in yogurt.  The kids wanted them, but I think they were too tart for them.  They're yummy for me though :)

     I haven't been in a few weeks, now I feel like I need to go...

  • ooh, that 40 cal/serving Lemonade made w/ stevia.  Great for low cal cocktails!

  • We buy the same stuff over and over, too (so post your rut list - maybe it's different from ours - lol) - here are some of our regulars:

     Gorgonzola crackers, organic cheese or peanut butter sandwich crackers, cat cookies

    Honey Wheat Pretzel Sticks

    Green beans (freeze died-type ones in the snack aisle - the kiddos love them)

    Snap pea crisps

    Frozen Shrimp thai goyza (sp?)

    Frozen salmon

    Frozen shrimp (easy for stir fry, pasta)

    Frozen brown rice (so easy for last-minute meals)

    Frozen sweet and sour chicken

    Frozen clams in a butter-wine sauce - add a little more wine and olive oil and put over pasta

    Frozen french toast and waffles for breakfasts

    Pork tenderloin cooked with with their soyaki or island soyaki  sauce

    Chopped stir fry veggies (in a bowl near salad, carrots, etc.) coupled with the soyaki sauce and their thin sliced sirloin or "just chicken" (already cooked section), over rice

    Santa Maria tri tip roast (gonna try this in the crock pot)

    BBQ pulled beef/pork/chicken (ready made section)  coupled with their par-baked ciabatta rolls, sweet potato fries

    And of course pasta, pasta, and pasta (vodka sauce is good - just tried that) - mac and cheese, too

    There's more... but I'm looking like the only place we shop is TJs - oh wait... it is :)

     

  • My rut list:

    This ___ Walks into a Bar (we buy 4-6 boxes at a time)

    Cheese

    Nuts

    Smoked salmon pieces

    Frozen mandarin orange chicken

    Frozen gyoza on occasion

    Frozen seafood blend

    Frozen veggies: edamame, corn, peas, and those skinny green beans

    Harvest Blend (Israeli couscous blend in the rice section, cook with stock)

    Basmati rice blends

    Instant mac & cheese packets

    Snap Pea crisps

    Multigrain crackers

    I forgot about the Honey Wheat pretzels. The kids loved those. I also tried the Island Soyaki on a sample something and forgot to buy it last time.
