Can we talk Trader Joe's??

[minismama]

We had one where we used to live in Florida and now one finally opened up where we currently live.  The place is still a ZOO since it only opened a week ago.  Think security guards directing parking lot traffic bad.  But as I wandered through I kind of forgot how delicious everything looks.  
Remind me about everything there is to love.. what are your favorite items??  I feel like I need to try everything again, it's been so long!

Pot stickers, frozen mango, frozen nectarines, pumpkin pancake mix, dried fruit, mixed seafood ....a variety of other things I use my will power to not always buy!

My TJ's staples are:

- nuts
- dried fruit
- dried roasted coconut flakes
- veggie chips
- hummus
- their refrigerated pizza dough (I usually make my own, but always have at least one in the freezer for pizza emergencies)
- refrigerated pesto
- dairy free mozzarella cheese
- jam
- jars of crushed garlic, marinated artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, olives
- olive oil
- so much from their frozen foods - peas, fruit, edamame, chicken breasts, corn, turkey meatballs...
- sausages
- jarred sauces, like spaghetti sauce, curry sauce, etc.
- boxed soups

Everything

Really though besides what's already been mentioned their condiments like hot and sweet mustard, ketchup are good. Coconut oil is great quality and good price. Flavored cream cheese. Their Knockoff pirates booty is way better than the original. Also to add on all the cheese.

If no one mentioned it-the sauces! Love love the enchilada and curry sauces as well as pasta sauces. Oh and if you like olives try the olive tapenade mmmm.

Cookie butter

Wow you girls are thorough! Ha! Now I'm starving

I love trader joes! The only things I've disliked is their jarred marinara and kale chips (the guy at checkout said to me have you tried these? I said no, are they good? He said let's open them up and try them before you buy. They were gross, we all agreed. And I like kale chips)



Edit: I saw your DS only wanted frozen pancakes...try the silver dollar ones from trader joes. DS will only eat those, no other brands.

Yeah, I know better than to think something like that might taste decent. Lol

[dizzycooks]

IDK I like fresh baked kale chips.

The chicken apple sausages are a hit around here too.

Well it was a free sample during a toir we did with the moms club. They also let us try cookie butter. That almost made up for the nacho butt taste in my mouth

We love home made brussel sprout "chips" so i thought we might lule these, but these were terrible and covered with nasty vegan nachobutt seasoning.
