Saw the pretzels in there the other day, and I passed them by.
When I am on maintenance I will definitely buy them

We LOVE Trader Joe's! There are so many great products there! Here are some of our faves:

Frozen turkey meatballs
Lowfat macaroni & cheese (in frozen section) - tastes decadent!!
Lemon grilled chicken (in fresh/meat section)
Mango salsa
Corn salsa
Salsa verde - green salsa
Rolled taquitos (I like the beef)
Pumpkin butter (only comes out one time a year at my TJs, so I stock up)

I could go on and on...so many yummy things!

I love Trader Joe's!

I buy the almond milk and put it in my coffee and all my oatmeal. Their soy chorizo is fantabulous.

I recently got hooked on the roasted, salted seaweed snack. Like chips, but healthier :-) (If you like the taste of seaweed).

I just went there the other day! I've never tried PB pretzels, and honestly, I don't want to because I know I'll like them. I learned my lesson trying Cadbury Cream Eggs. I was 5lb lighter when I thought they looked gross

I already ate all of the fruit, so I guess another trip is in order. I bought:

Low sodium-turkey breast
Jarlsburg light cheese slices
Whole wheat pita pockets
Arugula
Blackberries
Clementines
Carne Asada
Roasted Garlic Hummus
Everything crackers
Sugar snap peas
Baby carrots
Steel cut oatmeal

My favorite place to shop! Love that store!

Some of my favorites from TJ's:

Dark chocolate covered frozen banana slices - almost like ice cream, but it's a banana - so good!
Their brand of BBQ 'pop chips' - taste the same and less expensive!
Coconut milk ice cream for my hubby - half the price of other brands.
Jo-Jo's cookies for the kiddo (like oreos, but without the super bad stuff - at least they're natural!)
They have the BEST Greek yogurt - no other brand I've tried compares!
Best cottage cheese too.
Fresh apple juice is a delicious treat - we always get it when someone in the house has a cold (because it's kind of pricey for us, but so good!)

I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones that come to mind first! And I think I'll making a trip to Trader Joe's today!

I tend to stay away from pretzels cuz they are a high glycemic food but have you tried their almond flax seed butter...very good

I just went to Trader Joes for the first time the other day. And I bought the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches from the frozen isle. I know, I know. Very high calories but Oh My God they were soooooo gooooood.....

Tried the Chinese pork buns. Siao Pau I think it's called. And the coconut shrimp is to die for. Not to mention cheap compaired to other stores.

These are so yummy! A little too yummy to be honest. Since they're only 70 calories I always think it's ok for me to have two. :laugh:

I have never been to Trader Joe's but heard so many good things about it. I didn't even know we had one in my city.. literally minutes away from where I stay. I will be going there today. Plus I am a natural hair chick therefore I heard they had some good natural hair products. I am so excited I should leave work right now and go!!! LOL

I see lots of people on here use Trader Joes foods I have never heard of it before. I just googled it and it says there is one coming soon about 60 miles from me. Is it worth the trip when they open?

Absolutely!
P.S. - Bring a cooler or cooler bag (they sell them also).

Favs:
Almond butte with roasted flaxseeds
Barbara Puffins peanut butter cereal
Olive oil (great price)
Ezekiel Bread
Less salt ridged potato chips
Medium roast coffee
Flaxseed tortilla chips
Low sodium canned minestrone soup

Just to name a few. Peanut butter pretzels will be in my cart upon next visit. I am very lucky..... I have a Trader Joes about 2 miles from my home and they just opened a Whole Foods right across the street..Heaven!
