I found these wheat flat bread things...Superb replacing toast with breakfast. Think they are 100 cal

I was there today also. There are many things we get there, but two I didn't see mentioned above are their whole wheat hamburger buns, and Truly Handmade Whole Wheat Tortillas. They are the best whole wheat buns I've had. We also use their dishwasher detergent, which is free of chlorine bleach.

They have some really awesome grain salads in the frozen foods, and bison burgers, mahi mahi burgers, and lots of Indian food like lamb vindaloo.

They have some really tasty nuts and nut mixes like Thai chili lime almonds or cashews (I buy both) or Macadamias mix Gingerly with Cranberries and Almonds.

The cheese is super cheap and super tasty...they have little goat cheese medallions (like a Baby Bel) and the honey chevre is amazing. They also have great fresh mozzarella, and the little pearls, and burrata.

The produce section is also amazing, with heirloom cherry tomatoes, tiny baby potatoes, and lots and lots of greens. If you like beets, you're in luck.

Don't forget to check out the fresh pastas.

And if you like almond milk, theirs is the best you'll ever taste.

Mango & cream and peaches & cream yogurt. The blondes--oh my! The muffin mixes--we love the pumpkin flavor when they have it in the fall. The frozen tamales are really good. So many things!

Speaking of the produce section, check it out seasonally. My favorite deal all year had to be the stalks of Brussels sprouts they had. Like Snuggle Smacks, I also look forward to the time of year they stock the heirloom tomatoes.

Right after Halloween, all sorts of pumpkin products start showing up. It's amazing. Around Christmas, there are tons of boxed candies and cookies that make great gifts. Oh, and the tinned popcorn assortment. We always get that.

They have great hummus, the red bell pepper blend is my fave. Great with sugar snap peas and sweet bell peppers. They have good Greek yogurt and awesome cottage cheese, too. Multi-grain hot cereal, Fiberful Granola Bars, they have the BEST ketchup, good tuna, refried black beans with jalapeno, chocolate bars.....

Edited to add: And my dogs really love their doggy treats and snacks! I also use their face lotion with SPF, and the Coconut Body Butter.

SnuggleSmacks

The biggest thing is that their products are high quality (great ingredient list on most of it) and tasty, but also very affordable. It's like a gourmet shop with regular grocery store prices (sometimes even cheaper, especially the produce!)

Mine doesn't have the cookie butter cheesecake. Sad.

Have been shopping there for years. I get their fiber bread, which is better than you'd think. Good selection of coffee and tea. Really like the "Moral Fiber" blueberry muffins. Also, try the turkey tenderloins.

What is cookie butter? It sounds dangerous

It is. It's a creamy spread that tastes like biscoff cookies (or like graham crackers, if you've never had biscoff).

The cookie butter ice cream is to die for.

I bought some of the cookie butter with the cocoa swirl all because of this thread. haha. I don't live TOO terribly close to Trader Joe's, so when I go again, I need to allow myself more time to poke around.

I did look for those goat cheese medallions, but couldn't find them.
