    we dont have one here, but got to go to one on vacation while in chicago. lol my idea of fun on a vacation is to visit the grocery.

    anyways, thought they had a great selection of some hard to find items, but the produce was overpriced compared to the simple grocery down the street (i mean really the garlic was ridiculous) lol.

    BUT - I got a bag of the saltwater taffy, sad that its all gone now! i would eat one or two pieces a day, if I wanted. savored every piece!

    I love TJ's... Just Mangos (dried mango with no added stuff) is my favorite, but I also love that they carry pumpkin seeds in the shell year round at a reasonable price.

    They have a great selection of raw nuts (cashews are my fav), Belgian Dark Chocolate (70%), and I really like their organic marinara sauce. They also carry Larabars which are a good quick snack to have around.

    Happy shopping!

    I get their Very Green powder (the super green and red drink stuff's excellent, but pricey), the pineapple/papaya digestive enzymes, the probiotics, and the vitamin c powder there. Used to get the organic apples, but they're harder to find this time of year.

    Their Salsa is mad good. Also their chicken-less stuffed "chicken" breasts. And also their "Less Guilt" frozen dinners are really good and very reasonable as far as calories/sodium. I also really like their pre made sandwiches and salads. And their wine! I honestly prefer whole foods to TJ but these are some of my Fav's

    2 buck chuck! haha. They have amazing breads, especially the pugliese and the mini baguettes that are par-baked. You can freeze them and make freshly baked bread whenever you want! There's also a good selection of nuts and legumes at decent prices. I miss the almonds in wasabi and the cinnamon roasted peanuts sooo much! Froyo's also quite good.

    I love their dressing, stuffed talipia, frozen French onion soup and spaghetti sauces. I bought BBQ but haven't used it yet.
    And their pumpkin spread. ;)

    My faves are their Toasted Oatmeal Flake cereal, the frozen brown rice (reheat in the microwave so quickly!), their whole wheat tortillas, nut & dried fruit selection, the almond butter and I feel they have great prices on their dairy, eggs, olive oil & balsamic vinegars, I also love their guiltless pita chips, BBQ sauce (the kentucky one? its in kind of a round bottle) and their spices are really good prices too.

    Oh and my kryptonite is their milk chocolate covered pretzels. I really have to ration myself on those or I can polish off the entire bag w/out thinking!

    Their horseradish hummus is to die for!!! Chickenless pulled chicken, almonds, cashews, peanut butter filled pretzels, salsa, tofu, I could go on and on. But other people are right- the produce IS overpriced. I stick with Jewel or Woodmans for my produce.

    The best price on Pistachios I've seen anywhere.
    Roasted Chipotle Garlic Salsa
    Horseradish hummus (with their pita crackers.. YUM)
    Unblanched, unsalted peanut butter
    fresh organic mini pizza
    TJ's chicken Tikka masala

    any of the cheese, but I am a huge fan of the stilton with apricot in salads.

    Looks like I need to make a run there myself.. my shopping list is already started :o)
