My favs are Trader Joes Lightly Salted Crunchy Green Beans... soooo good, and their lemon yogurt.

Don't buy the pretzel bites with the peanut butter inside, just don't.
Unless of course you want to eat a whole bag in one sitting!

We love their precooked brown rice. It's in the freezer section.
Premade pizza dough
Corn and chili salsa
40 garlic sauce (that's not the real name, it's by the spaghetti sauces)
Those are my current favorites....

A "what's good at Trader Joe's post"--now this place feels like home! Everything everyone else posted, but also: Cranberry Dunkers Cheeses (all sorts of interesting ones!) Hummus Coffee Bean Blast Ice Cream (if you LOVE coffee) Cereals (so many of their brand that we like and you can also get a big box of Barbara Bakery's Peanut Butter Puffins!) Coffees Lemonades or bottled juices Seriously, I could go on and on. |

We had the Chili Lime Chicken Burgers the other night. Good! We also added some of the frozen fire roasted corn to guacamole and put it on top-very good!

Sprouted Wheat bread-- makes the best toast and grilled cheese sandwiches (the rye is great too--makes an excellent reuben)
Chocolate orange sticks
Chocolate covered raisins
Green salsa
Taco shells
Chicken sausages (refrigerated section)
Frozen tamales (I've never tried them but my daughter loves them)
Wine!
Frozen vegetables (haricots verts, and some of the medleys are also good)
frozen French toast
Reduced guilt frozen macaroni & cheese (much better than Lean Cuisine) and stuffed shells & cheese
Frozen orange chicken
Frozen vegetable fried rice (I could eat the whole bag)

I like their tamales too, and their orange chicken over the frozen brown rice.
I personally love their chocolate yogurt, but have yet to meet anyone in real life who feels the same way!
Their Joe Joes are excellent, especially the peppermint ones in December.
The best thing is, if you buy something and hate it they will take it back and give you a refund!

We really like:
sauasageless sausage
multigrain english muffins
gazpacho and add a can of crab meat to it
refried black beans
the half corn / half flour tortillas
they have the best price on eggs and interesting cheeses. The quattro fromaggio cheese blend is great on pizza

I almost posted this just because so many complained about these on the Nsbr. So many things but we love their Kung pao chicken in the freezer. Pb pretzels are a standard for us we like them better than those at other stores. I also love their fresh green beans the French ones which I cannot remember their names but they are so good.

Oh wow, looks like I got a great list of things to try ! Thanks everyone, I am really looking forward to trying this place out. I am loyal to my Central Market store, but if I can get some of the same stuff at TJ for less, then it is worth the trip over there to check it out!

I love their chocolate covered frozen bananas, lemonade, bagged greens variety, greeting cards (I am such a sucker for those and love the art, words and price!), nuts, cheese selection, sweet potato fries, frozen garlic and basil and always find a cartful when I am there. I love that in the summer they have frozen water bottles to help keep things cool while driving home. Ours is about 30 mins or so away. We are getting one about 20 mins from us this fall. It isn't much closer but it is an area we are in a few times a week so that will help.

We like their dark chocolate offerings: dark chocolate covered macaroons and non-parrells are both very tasty.
Correction: They call them Coconut Bon-Bons! Yum!

Their frozen cod is better than I can find at other grocery stores. Chocolate covered sea salt almonds, chocolate covered cranberries, shave cream in a tube, peppermint JoJos (holidays only).

Timely thread- I just went this morning and I don't think I had been there since last summer. I picked up the cookie butter and have been using my finger?  I also got pizza dough, Brie, beer, coconut oil and more |

I always grab the cookie butter, frozen chocolate covered bananas, chopped olive hummus, soy rice crackers, fresh shelled edamame, and the druid circle cookies. Yummy!

Our favorites...
Fully cooked baby back ribs (in the fresh meat section)
Frozen Orange Chicken (just like Panda Express)
Movie Theatre Popcorn (already popped in the bag with the perfect amount of butter & salt)
Fresh Ciabatta Bread and Rolls
Precut Butternut Squash
Tater tots
Tri-color Quinoa
Dark chocolate candy bars filled with cookie butter
Last time I was there, they had samples of vanilla ice cream drizzled with warmed blueberry juice and sprinkled with crushed graham crackers. It tasted like blueberry cobbler alamode. OMG So good!!!!!

I don't have one close but there is one about 1-1/2 hours away. Anytime we are in that city I stop in and pick up several things. Some of my favorites are the chili lime chicken burgers. turkey corn dogs, roasted corn (all frozen) and chicken sausage (near the deli meats). And my all time favorite seasoning 21 Seasoning Salute.
There are several other things I like but those are my staples that I can't get anywhere else.
