    It depends! I like their coffee and tea. Hemp hearts, frozen fruit for smoothies, 21 Seasoning Salute, freeze dried fruit, almond butter, and cottage cheese. Oh, and the dark chocolate in the round tins by the check out. 40 calories a piece! Oh! I forgot! Gluten free Jo-Jo's. My husband says that the texture (because of the gf flours) makes them even better than the regular Jo-Jo's.

    But I have a limited diet.

    The rest of my family loves the bacon, their cereals, their version of Doritos, cashew butter, all sorts of cookies, the This _____ Walked Into A Bar line of snack bars and even more chocolate things.

    I make a 1.5 hour road trip just to stock up on their plain, non-fat yogurt. It's THAT good.

    I personally LOVE their Sardinian parchment crackers! The crackers are 60 calories each, but they are HUGE, so I never need to eat more than one or two at a time.

    fireworks chocolate bar - a must! they also have dark chocolate bars that 100 calorie each. their peanut butter with flax and chia seeds. their premade salads are good, the raisin/olive crisps and or the fig/rosemary crisps, the peanut butter granola bars, and they have these milk cookies that are really great with yogurt and fruit.

    My favorite TJ's item is their frozen seafood mix - shrimp, scallops and calimari. Each piece individually frozen, so you can use a little or a lot. A 1# bag is about $7-8 and no waste!

    I just spent a ton of money there yesterday LOL but it was a whole cartful...The prices really are pretty decent overall and I always get a lot more for my money there.

    I love their sprouted bread and frozen fish. Nice thick filets of cod and mahi and tuna yum!. I buy a lot of frozen berries, frozen pineapple and frozen melange a trois bell peppers mix - it's JUST peppers with no onion filler and cheapest anywhere. They have some decent cheeses too. Oh, also a good price on ground turkey if you eat that. I buy the cheapest they have at $3 a pound and it's pretty lean. So much stuff....oh asparagus was $2 a bunch yesterday so hopefully still today. I bought 4 of them to freeze.

    Their Almond Milk original is the *only* one I like, kiddo is drinking milk with her cereal (instead of just grabbing fist fulls from the box) for the first time now. Its that good.

    We also always get their Three Cheese pasta sauce..its the only canned pasta sauce Ill eat.

    Don't forget to grab a bottle of 2 Buck Chuck (well, around here, its 2.99 lol)

    And avoid their cheeses if you want to stick to your diet...I am madly in love with their cheese section. Madly....!!! Everything Ive ever tried is good, but the Triple Cream Brie with Wild Mushrooms will be the end of me. A very satisfying end.

    Where do I begin? They have a great low calorie balsamic dressing, and they have great prices on frozen berries. My kids love the mochi ice cream too. Just walk up and down the aisles and enjoy!
