Sprouted wheat bread Sprouted rye bread Spicy Hummus dip Reduced guilt chunky guacamole (it's a dip, not actual guac, but it's really good) Carrots of many colors chicken broth boxes Reduced fat cheese crunchies shredded light mozzarella (melts better than any reduced fat mozz I've tried) canned beans (black beans, etc.) Frozen vegetables (they're all good) Orange chicken (frozen) vegetable fried rice (frozen) jasmine rice (frozen) organic brown rice (frozen) frozen individual meals, reduced guilt (mac & cheese, stuffed shells) Hawaiian kettle chips artichoke & jalapeno dip (refrigerated) salsa especiale (refrigerated--my new obsession with mini peppers) chocolate covered raisins (the best!) chocolate peanut butter cups Fruit Jellies gummy Tummies chocolate covered marshmallows Fireworks chocolate bar Chocolate orange sticks Chili lime chicken burgers (frozen) raw shrimp (frozen)
I can probably think of a ton more, but this is what comes to mind ASAP. I love Trader Joes and shop there every week.

The only thing I've ever bought from them that I've loved enough to go back for are Mini Chicken Cilantro Wontons.

We like their frozen Kung Poa chicken and are not a fan of their orange chicken. they have a lot of good things and others are just ok. I buy produce and love when they have samples. the lady that works ours does an awesome job of coming up with combinations I would have never thought of - not all stores are as lucky but I think some of her creations are spreading from what I have heard. We also don't like most of their breads but love the half baked rolls but they go bad very quickly. they have good prices on nuts and wine. I miss their chocolate orange or raspberry sticks . their Argentine red shrimp are great if they have them - very sweet. Their pub cheese in tubs in the refrigerator are really good to and come in multiple flavors. We also love their pico de gallo which comes wither mild or spicy. I think it is a red pepper spicy humus to that is really good - I think that is what it is called.

Some of our regular items are:
Horseradish hummus Jicama sticks Arugula multicolored carrots Chili lime seasoning (delicious on the jicama sticks or spiralized apple an /or fennel) Almond thin cookies Maple sandwich cookies Sriracha BBQ sauce Soyaki sauce Korean BBQ sauce Steel cut oats Their seasonal salad dressings are usually good Tomato/Roasted red pepper soup The fruit spreads like Lemon curd, pumpkin butter, fig butter etc Red pepper jelly (great on a chunk of baked Brie in a phyllo cup for a quick and easy appetizer)
From the frozen section: Potstickers Chili lime chicken burgers Thai veggie burgers thin green beans Roasted corn Frozen leeks (good with bacon on thin spaghetti) Roasted pepper onion combo
Golden raisins (nice a plump and not all dried out) Orange flavored dried cranberries Coffee Rio candy Salted dark chocolate caramels no sugar added dark chocolate bars Seaweed snacks
Have fun!

DH's favorite is any of the cereal bars named "this fruit walks into a bar". They come in fig, apple, blueberry, etc. My favorite is the sour gummy T&Js candies. They come in a stand up style bag, usually they are in the shelves of candy above the frozen foods. It's a mixed bag of various citrus flavors shaped like T's and J's, SO sour and good.

We love the Mango Coconut Caramel popcorn, the chocolate croissants in the freezer section, the cinnamon and toasted almond granola, the ginger snaps, the dark chocolate peanut butter cups, the corn and chili salsa, and the Thai lime and chili cashews and almonds. And now I need to go to Trader Joe's today!

Dd loves their pre-made salads and I think she is choosing her college based on the proximity of Trader Joes (not really, but every visit we have to go get a few salads). Reading these makes me think I might need to visit her next year more often, off to bookmark this thread.

If you ever bake I love their white whole wheat flour.
They make the best natural peanut butter.

This is something non food related... it's called Antioxidant Facial Serum... it feels Sooooo good on your face... Oil of Olay has the same thing but 3x as expensive. This little bottle is $10. It's a clear tube with a silver top/bottom... Totally recommend it and it lasts a long time.

Wow!! That's a lot of stuff!!! I'll need another suitcase!! So no fresh or frozen food, I take it? In that case (trying to think of smaller/lightweight things): Pita bite crackers Red pepper spread with eggplant and garlic Peanut butter cups Triple ginger cookies Peanut butter filled pretzels Bollyood popcorn (if you like Indian spices) Fireworks candy bar (spicy with pop rocks type things inside) Mango black tea Many stores will open packages and let you taste products, within reason, though I heard some don't.
