What is your favorite thing(s) at Trader Joe's?

I absolutely love Trader Joe's. We have one only 1-2 minutes from our home and I am there several times a week. My husband and I try to treat ourselves by trying something new each week. Any suggestions??

I want to check it out, they say they have some delish healthy options there. What about "pricing", what is that like?

Trader Joes has great prices on Kerry Gold butter. It's also a decent place to get a pack of chia seeds.

Yes! But only for COOKIE BUTTER! It's super tasty!

Trader Joe's is great on pricing for most things! They have a lot of their own name on the products. But I hear they hand pick ingredients and taste test everything. I can get some of their high quality products for less price than my regular grocery store.

I saw chia seeds, but that was the first time I had ever heard of them. How do you use them?

It looks like their Cookie Butter has really good reviews. What do you put it on?

I love them! You can put them in yogurt or sprinkle them on top of fruit. You can even make a pudding out of them by soaking 1/4 cup of the seeds in with a cup of coconut milk or regular milk with some agave nectar overnight. Yum!

Good fiber, protein, and omega threes.

Love their Joe-Joes and their Almond Milk. Most of my shopping I do there.

I like their trail mixes. They have one called "go raw" which is a mix of raw nuts and raisins, they sell them either in bulk, or in individual packs, which are great for portion control.

I also like their yogurts, with the granola, but those aren't so healthy.

It's a fun store.

Green tea mochi ice cream, two-buck chuck wine, and cranberry-apple fiber muffins. Years ago TJ's had an amazing fat-free cheesecake that was indistinguishable from the real thing, but alas, they discontinued it. *sadcries*

Thanks for the ideas!!

I would shop there more often but there isn't one near me. I love Trader Joe's.

I buy my toiletries there more than food...

I do rely on the Quinoa bread though....makes delish french toast

I usually put it on apples but sometimes eat it from the container...it's def a dessert spread, nothing truly healthy in it but the taste is fantastic! Moderation is key.

This is true. My niece works there. At closing they each get to pick a product and the employees all get together and sample each other's choices.

Sadly, our closest TJ's is 2 hours away, or I would be there every minute. Chicken hot dogs!

I absolutely LOVE trying new things, even if that means I can only have a taste. The great thing is, my husband could not get fat if he tried, so he eats the remains

For example, I love baking and cooking, so I made French Macarons for the first time this weekend. I did not even eat a whole on myself. I just took a bite out of his and he took half of them to work and the remaining half he is eating. I'm pretty proud of my willpower to resist

I love their crunchy, salted Peanut Butter, I won't buy any other kind! I also like their flourless sprouted wheat bread, Almond Milk, and their Arrabiata sauce. I do most of my shopping there.

I bet their Kerry Gold Butter is not as cheap as Costco?


I buy their 100% cranberry juice. Seems they are the only one that sell 100% CJ

Oh cool Southpaw! I did not know that. I will be really sad when we move if there is not a trader joe's close by.
