    Before I went vegan I used to LOOOOOVE their chicken dumplings with general sao's sauce. I wont do the sauce either anymore due to all the crap in it but. Oh. My. God. I have their veggie potstickers now but havent tried them. Been sitting in my freezer.

    I have their chocolate coconut ice cream too. I've only had it once (that tends to stay in the freezer too) But its REALLY good.

    Now I do their organic tempeh, extra firm tofu, fresh fruits, edamame, and fresh veggies. I love Trader Joe's. We actually drive an hour ever two weeks to go grocery shopping there. So worth it.

    -frozen edamame
    -reduced sugar strawberry preserves
    -cranberry apple butter
    -their greek yogurt is pretty good and cheaper than other brands.
    -almond/ mango/ cashew trek mix-- have to be careful with the portions but even a small portion is pretty satisfying
    -also, I love their yogurt star cookies even though they are not a healthy choice....I buy them for a treat.

    They have a fantastic spinach kale dip that is only 35 calories per 2 tablespoons. It is great for dipping veggies or spread on a piece of bread. I love their hummus and thier salad dressings are amazing too!! We have to drive over an hour for the closest one and I try to stock up on things I love.

    Sadly, my main reason for going there is their great selection of good, affordable wines, but I also love the gluten free waffles and the vodka sauce. Also the best and most affordable selection of nuts.

    I love this thread and I love Trader Joe's!!!

    I usually go when I am not able to buy pershable items, so this thread has inspired me for my next visit (I will attempt it closer to when I will be traveling home!)

    My son is on a special diet and I can buy several things for him:
    Soft Baked Snickerdoodle Cookies
    Gluten Free Oats
    Gluten Free Ginger Snap Cookies
    Organic lollipops
    Sunflower Seed Butter
    Gluten Free Brownie Mix (I make according to the directions or just add a can of pumpkin for Brownie Pumpkin Muffins)
    Kettlecorn
    Squeezable Applesauce (they have apple, banana apple, and carrot apple)

    For me (not a completely healthy list):
    Individual packs of Lite Kettlecorn (I cannot control myself around the large bag unless I portion it out and close the bad--that does not even work all the time!)
    100 Calorie Packs of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
    Their Produce (fresh, local, and at a good price)
    Sea Salt and Turbinado Sugar Dark Chocolate Almonds (Soooo good!)
    Wine (they have awesome prices!!)
    Organic Split Pea Soup
    Luna Bars

    Our family moved from Florida to California and Trader Joe's has been an added bonus!!!!

    I like their veggie wraps. Delish.

    I really like the walnut cranberry Gorgonzola dressing. It is like 80 calories for 2 tbsp.

    Oh raw almond butter is awesome, too.

    I do most of my grocery shopping there. :D

    Coconut oil (actually smells like coconuts) and their raw cheese (pretty impossible to find anywhere)...and of course their super-cheap (like 2$/bottle seriosuly) red wines

    Definitely the coconut oil.
    The spicy fat-free black bean dip.
    The coffee... every single variety.
    The pizza margherita.
    The blueberry soda.
    The chocolate whey protein powder.
    The kettle corn.
    The flaxseed "tortilla" chips.
    All the lovely organic produce.
    And for a diet buster: The pralines and the chocolate-covered toffee popcorn.

    yep it has gotten a little better. Hopefully they change this silly law. I heard rumors of it happening.

    I live in Alaska and unfortunately we don't have Trader Joes, but when I was in California for a short time I tried their Champagne Pear Vinergrette. AMAZING! Best salad dressing!
