Trader Joes

[Piecey]

I know there have been a few threads about this and I searched but got nothing

I'll be near a Trader Joes tomorrow and was looking for the list of "Must Get" items.

Anyone have any idea?

wine (Two Buck Chuck )
haricot verts (skinny green beans)
pizza dough
peanut butter filled pretzels
truffle brownie mix
peanut butter cups
chocolate cat shaped cookies

I love Trader Joes fruit. The quality is wonderful. I also love their pita bread, frozen teryaki chicken, frozen penne arribata, premade salads, trail mix and orange juice. But my must haves at Trader Joes is their junk food Their Dark Chocolate is so rich and yummy and their chocolate covered caramels are my favorites out of any store anywhere. I also love their individual carrot cakes and they have individual ghiradelli bundt cakes that are heavenly as well (but they are so thick and rich I can only eat half of one at the most)

I love their portobello mushroom stuffed ravioli.

 

[charming23]

pizza dough
chicken apple sausage (so good for a quick dinner with potato salad and fresh fruit)
NY style cheesecake
frozen Jasmine rice
frozen chicken tenders

 

[princess momma]

I forgot:

pretzel bread
pumpkin butter (seasonal)

A trip to Trader Joes is certainly not budget friendly, though. At least it isn't for me.

pizza dough
whole grain tortillas
hummus - sun dried tomato or chipolte(sp.?) pepper are awesome
whole wheat english muffins
frozen chocolate covered bananas

Frozen foods;
Orange chicken

Croissants
I have always wanted to try the ice cream sandwiches but I live too far away!

Cats cookies
mini meringues
fruit cereal bars/ much better for you/tasting than nutragrain
All their baked goods- I haven't found one I didn't like

Mac and cheese
pancake mix
real maple syrup

I also liked their marinated meats like Fajita chicken, Bulkogi and others I can't remember the names of.

Have a fun shopping trip!!

I love TJ's, but the closest one is 5 hours away. I always stock up when I'm there and when I know someone else is going there I have them pick stuff up for me!

My must have is their Thai red curry sauce. If you like curry/Thai food I would highly suggest it.

 

[lisajl]

Hey all--is this pizza dough frozen?

 

[annsteere]

Corn bread mix.

(I got a box of this as a gift this week. Made my from-scratch bread seem mediocre).

 

[wdwfan16]

I love the dried blueberries. I also get the flax seeds.

Gorgonzola Gnocci

This Strawberry Walked Into a Bar bars
Veggie Corn Dogs
Very Green (best prices anywhere)

[Harters2WDW]

We love, love the frozen Naan, frozen sweet organic corn, any of the dried fruits (especially the mango), the Asian rice noodles, Thai red curry sauce, chicken chow mein, my husband loves the goat cheese/brie, frozen burritos are good too. I second the greek yogurt and the eggs are always a good deal. Also, I have purchased the frozen cilantro (it's in little small cubes) and it's great to have on hand. And of course, we always pick up a few bottles of the wine.

 

[IzzysMom]

Mini Party Meatballs (Frozen)
Sweet Potato Fries (Frozen)
Peanut Butter Pretzels
Cheese - they have an awesome selection of cheeses and are better priced than other stores!
