Favorite Trader Joe's items

[melissalee]

Chicken hotdogs
Garlic sauce
Whole wheat pizza dough

I'm still new to TJ and still exploring. I hope they open one in New Orleans soon!! Crossing my fingers they have plans by next year when we move home.

Orange chicken (frozen)
Speculoos cookies (they are like the Biscoff cookies served on airplanes)
Sparkling white grape juice
Chewable Melatonin (seems to be the only one that works for me)
Dog biscuits

There is a website called "What's good at Trader Joe's". This guy reviews LOTS of their products. I have found it very helpful.

Also, they have a frozen mac and cheese that is good. Real shredded cheese on top that you mix in. My DGD only eats the blue box kind and she surprised us by having seconds of this.

Cereal bars...a snack walked into a bar ???

"This apple walks into a bar..."
"This blueberry walks into a bar..."
(and I think seasonally may have Cranberry)

For those who haven't seen, it actually IS named that
And they are really tasty

Each time I have one, it leaves, never to return.. Out of stock and not coming back....

We don't have a trader joe's close by but when I do go I try different products.

Love the speculoos cookies and the chocolates covered almonds with sea salt and turbino sugar.

My Trader Joe's is not that close so I don't get there that often to have tried a lot of the items. I do like:

frozen chocolate covered banana bites
salsa in the refrigerated section
chocolate yogurt

Dh loves the organic jellys and the Honduran organic coffee.
-Coffee beans cover in chocolate are so good.
-Organic tortillas (i can't remember the brand)
-Organic blue corn chips
-Their organic avocados (great price)
-$3 wine is great to cook with
Edit
I don't know how I forgot they organic quinua 7 brown rice pasta

 

[EcbLovesMickey]

absolute favorite is the frozen Chicken Tikka Masala meal
Also love the frozen Garlic Naan Bread and the ice cream cookies sandwiches YUM!

The pizza crust dough.

I will have to try and remember to grab the quinoa pasta next time we go to TJ's.

Any of their chocolate bars. We like the TJ's hazelnut milk chocolate, TJ's dark chocolate, toffee and walnut, and I love the dark chocolate filled with cookie butter.
Organic grape jelly
Cowboy bark (our DD loves this stuff)
Peanut butter crackers (like pb filled ritz)
Joe Joes (like oreos)
Dried fruits (mango and oranges)
Shredded dried coconut

Our last trip, we decided to try some frozen items. I figured it would keep us from running out to eat on nights when home cooked isn't happening.

So far we like mini pizzas and shephard's pie. We tried a chimichurri rice, but it was way too spicy for all of us. And we like spicy! It was good though.

Several have mentioned the frozen garlic naan - I usually buy the fresh one. Is the frozen one better?

I just bought two packs of fresh but had to freeze one because it wasn't moving fast this week - usually it only lasts a day or so.

Is there a gluten free list anyone can provide? We'll be stopping there today but it has been many years since I shopped there.

 

[Praying Colonel]

Butter Lettuce pre-cleaned and bagged
Guilt-Free Guacamole
Japanese Style Fried Rice
Quinoa with Vegetables
Mushroom Ravioli in Truffle Sauce
Just about all their coffee--better than Starbucks and 25-50% less
Beef Barley soup with vegetables
Cookie Butter (which must have crack in it--I can't buy the stuff, we eat it so quickly!)
Korean Bulgogi
Kimchi
All their chicken sausages--they have about 6-8 different varieties in their meat section at any 1 time

their indian simmer sauces are great too-I think I missed these the most over the 6 years we were without a local trader joes. we also buy our kona coffee there-only place we can get 100% kona unless we mail order it from Hawaii.

I was spoiled living in California-I could get very small, tender artichokes at any grocery store-here trader joe's is the only place that carries something remotely like them. I like their bags of baby sweet potatos too.

i'll add my kid's favorites to the list-turkey chili w/beans, deep fried mac n cheese balls, chicken tiki masala, frozen pork buns, peanut butter and jelly candy bars, and ginger 'cat' cookies.

I forgot to mention the glass bottles of French Market sparkling lemonade!

I really love it. I pair it with the Chicken Tikka Masala meal frozen entree and it makes a super filling meal. I also like their plain frozen.

When we make Indian food we have both Naan and Pompadoms (sp?), so I only cook maybe 2 pieces. This makes the frozen ones a much better choice for me. Plus we don't eat Indian every week and they have the zipper pouch bags so you can reseal the bag after you take one out.

The frozen garlic ones have garlic and cilantro on them. Really tasty!
