My area just got a TJs! I went and got the 12 grain crackers, apple cranberry jelly, and cookie butter. What are some *musts* that I should buy? Thanks!

whenever I do go there, I end up picking up fresh artichokes - they usually have the four for $2 something. which is generally the price I pay for one. Sure, they are on the smaller side, but it works for me... That seems to be constant... the rest, I can take or leave...0

I noticed this with persimmons. at wegman's, persimmons are $2.50 each! but they were only 69 cents at TJs.....smaller, but still0 -
Well, usually almond butter, but the last time is was really liquid. Other than that, I buy frozen food there - pretty reasonable. their produce is overpriced. I think they were good a few years ago, but their prices are pretty much the same as everyone else and the lines are idiotic.0

Well, I love my TJ’s! I get some specific things there on a regular basis:
- 50% Less Salt Dry Roasted Almonds (my favorite snack)
- TJ’s Low fat Cottage cheese - 1.5% milkfat (tastes much better than the standard grocery brands, IMO)
- TJ’s Hummus (also tastier than most)
- TJ’s unsalted Sardines in spring water (the only unsalted ones packed in water that I can find)

I find their single serving nut mixes to be handy. Enjoy the bigger and more varied frozen seafood section than a lot of stores. Easy to make frozen meals in a bag (Orange Chicken, Teriyaki Chicken, etc.) that don't have a lot of junky ingredients. Their Tarte d' Alsace and Tarte Aux Champignons (like very thin pizzas but in the frozen app section) are quite tasty. Husband likes their bacon ends and pieces and entree salads and double gloucester cheese. I like the tiny angel food cake. The pumpkin bread mix is good. The produce is iffy in my area but if you are careful in the selection and eat it quickly there are bargains to be had.0

The dozen frozen assorted macaroons. Sooooo good, and only about 150 calories for three. I find a treat helps me stay on track now and then and the macaroons are so small and easier to moderate than, say, keeping a whole cake around.0

I really like that they have lightly salted nuts. Their lightly salted cashews are delicious. I also like their frozen foods and their spice grinders. Very reasonably priced.0
