NBR: Trader Joe's

VitaLuna · July 2015

Clearly a very, VERY important thread. Anyone have any love for TJs? And if so, what are some of your favorite buys? I'm always looking for new things to try.

VitaLuna · July 2015

Some of my go-tos: caramelized onion cheese, kettle corn, honey mints (3 ingredients!), and trail mixes, particularly the temptation (?) one.

Chocolate covered bananas

Fiesta lime chicken burgers

Banana chips there are good too.

Fig and olive crisps
Edamame Hummus
Triple ginger snap cookies
Cookie butter (in moderation)

Fullerj21 · July 2015

tomato and mozzarella salad, chocolate milk (the best), tomato gnocchi, rosemary chicken and rice, ice cream mochi...... I could go on and on. I love TJ's!

Their cereal! Any of it. (The fruity o's are this week's favorite) Joe-joe's, their yogurt, the chai drink mix, one of their havarti cheeses, and the dark chocolate pb cups...yum.

Speaking of were giving their frozen pizza a try tonight!

I don't know what it is, but I really don't like the cookie butter! I heard great things, so I tried it, and no thank you. H liked it, but hasn't eaten any since I bought it.

triple gingersnap cookies, balsamic glaze, chocolate covered raspberry sticks, green tea mints, I love their tea, strawberry kefir, I could go on..

ETA: I'm obsessed with their frozen rice packs you steam in the microwave. I buy the jasmine rice and quinoa. Make great fillers with dinner.

I just got some mochi the other day. I haven't been able to get any this summer because it's been too dang hot in the car driving 20 minutes home. I'll have to try the chocolate milk. Yummm

Blahhhh... Stupid Louisiana small cities dont have this! I am thinking we need one pronto!

ambdtb · July 2015

Dried mango slices, peanut butter filled pretzels, animal crackers, coconut ice cream, frozen pizzas. For a yummy mocktail try the ginger beer with the strawberry lemonade over ice. Refreshing and delicious!!

VitaLuna · July 2015

The mangoes remind me.. My LO absolutely loves the freeze dried mangoes.

inomniaparatus · July 2015

Love the turkey stuffed peppers

Waldorf chicken salad with pretzel rolls

their frozen jo-jo cookies with mint chocolate ice cream in middle

The apple & almond stuffed pork chops

so many good things and so cheap! I love it

Fullerj21 · July 2015

my DD LOVES all of their freeze dried fruit (mangoes, strawberries, raspberries, bananas) too !

SoSweetTea1124 · July 2015

Fruit leather!!! DS will eat every one in the house in one sitting if we let him!

Timmysgal02 · July 2015

Aaahhh, I miss TJ's!! I love the smell just walking in!

kwinsor85 · July 2015

This made me just tell my DH that we need to make a trip to TJ's (for us it becomes am all day thing as our closest TJ's is 45 minutes away)

This is a thing?!? How did I not know about this??

jellybellybean3 · July 2015

I had to google it. I have never heard of this place... The joys of living in Canada. Is it kind of like a grocery store? Sounds like I am missing out

FreshBakedBrownies · July 2015

I like their vegetable fried rice. I add some scrambled eggs and dash of soy sauce - yum!!

Kind of like a small specialty-ish grocery store. Good prices, lots of unique stuff.

acuteangles · July 2015

Since all food is gross and the smell of cooking makes it grosser, I've been way into their refrigerated ravioli, personal salads, basically all their pre-made and semi-pre-made meals. Makes my life so much easier since I do most of the cooking. Oh, and their refrigerated pizza dough! So good, and you can just throw whatever toppings you want on it and voila - pizza in 12 minutes!

acuteangles · July 2015

@jellybellybean3 it is a small scale grocery store. They have great deals and great, unique items. Sorry you don't have any : (

Love Trader's!!!! Orange cranberries, frozen eggplant parmesan, organic orange strawberry and banana juice, chocolate covered edamame, Salad that is pictured (the best!), hot dog pastry puffs, and mini ice cream cones (pictured)

michelle_bird · July 2015

I love TJ's. There's one about 25 minutes from me. Wish it was closer and I would go pick up dinner for tonight!

ErinC1014 · July 2015

Edamame hummus!

Sorry they aren't technically Jo Jo's but same idea. Mini mint chocolate cookie ice cream sandwiches.

BabyHope2013 · July 2015

Ours is about a 25 minute drive---so I don't go there often. But I love their frozen alfredo pasta--super easy side dish to dinner. Potato pancakes, quiches, pasta sauce---and DS loves the fruit leathers too!

Normally I have a sweet tooth, but haven't this pregnancy yet. But *those*? I NEED them.
