I love TJ's. Sadly the closest one is over a 5 hour drive. When we get to one we stock up!

They have great gourmet cheese at a great price! I found one I really liked at Whole Foods and it was substantially cheaper at TJ's.

They have lots of great frozen items. The potstickers are good. My favorite is the chicken Chili Lime burgers. So good! I'll grill one up on my George foreman and bring it to work for lunch.

My other favorite is their Harvest Grains. It's a mix of Israeli couscous, red quinoa, mini chickpeas and others. It is such a great rice stand in. I actually prefer it over rice in most dishes. I buy many, many bags of this. Unfortunely I'm out right now.

There are just so many great specialty items. Just experiment and see what you like. Don't be afraid to try different things.

We make weekly trips to TJ's in NH and love the following:

Frozen garlic naan bread
Birianyi frozen rice
all of the nuts and dried fruits are wonderful
chocolate chips (only $1.99) and they are great
flowers are very reasonably priced
hummus
pecan praline granola
crispy beef and broccoli
tuscan bread
chocolate
frozen chocolate croissants
frozen pie dough
sweet potato fries - so good!
Tarte Alsace (kind of a ham/onion flatbread)
Frozen appetizers
their version of cinnamon rolls in a tube are excellent (no HFCS)
mini hotdogs (nitrate free) make great pigs in a blanket
breaded eggplant
plus their cheeses are very varied and reasonably priced

The one thing I am usually not so impressed with is the quality of the produce, I find it expensive and not that fresh.

Enjoy!

I am glad the new one is opening, I think I am a tad closer to that one then to the one in Princeton, we are kinda right in the middle. Gotta see which one will be easier to get to.
