    And for the grand finale......Dark Chocolate Toffee with Walnuts & Pecans

    I LOVE this bar - and I don't really like toffee that much (too hard). I think it's bc it's ground up rather than huge chunks... so delish!

    I just used one of my favorite spices in the world, Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute! It rocks and it made my fresh cooked spinach the best ever yet!

    We eat the frozen Spanikopita all the time. It comes in a tray of 12 triangles that you just stick in the oven and 6 is about perfect for a meal. Works really well for a 2 person household and is low in calories.

    WOW! Apparently I need to start shopping at Trader Joe's! Does anyone know how the prices compare to other grocery chains (like Kroger)? Do you do all your shopping there or just specialty items?

    Prices are comparatively cheap for some items. I do not do all of my shopping there, staple items are cheaper elsewhere, but they have a ton of unique items and the prices are very good. I fill two of the canvas shopping bags every time I go and it usually is only about $30 - $40. Most of the stuff I buy from TJ's is convenience food - frozen meals, healthy snacks, etc.

    some things are cheaper at trader joes than at my local grocery store (Farm Fresh - kroger is around the same price as Farm Fresh). i go to trader joes for the items i know are cheaper and are/would be considered specialty at my grocery store but are considered everyday items at trader joes - like soy milk, free range eggs, mozzarella cheese, quinoa, italian deli meats, wine, etc. these things are cheaper at trader joes. it's definitely worth the extra trip.

    I am a Trader Joe's addict. No, really. My son has revoked my privileges - I'm not allowed to shop there if he's with me. I can wander the store, looking at products, reading labels and jotting down recipe ideas for two hours!

    That being said, here is my current "standing" TJ's shopping list

    whole wheat tuscan pane
    lite string cheese
    lite extra thin slices of sharp cheddar, swiss, etc.
    greek yogurt
    refrigerated chicken veggie barley soup
    BNRG protein bars
    microwave chicken tikka masala
    frozen brown rice
    frozen berries (incredibly inexpensive and fabulous in place of ice in protein shakes)
    chili lime chicken burgers
    frozen chinese mini dumplings
    jarred marinara sauce (least calories for fabulous flavor)
    100 calorie dark chocolate bars
    turkey jerkey - regular & teriyaki

    I could go on and on

    Savory mini rice crackers
    Skinny Fries
    French Roast coffee beans
    Dark chocolate mint creams
    Sesame honey cashews
    Field fresh chopped salad with couscous, chicken and basil dressing (OMG!)
    Chicken potstickers
    Coconut Thins Cookies
    And so many more things!!
    We don't have a Trader Joes in our town so when I traveled for work this week, I took a big suitcase and only filled it partially with clothes. I fit 100.00 worth of groceries to take home with me in the suitcase! That's how much I love TJ's.

    I literally do all my weekly shipping there.
    Here are some of my favs

    - love their cheeses
    - uncured ham is better than any lunch meat ( plus it has no preserves like others do)!!
    - nuts and sometimes dried fruit
    - ATTENTION HERE the best yogurt i've every had- trader Joe's European Style Whole MIlk Yogurt!! Everyone raves about it
    - Frozen fruit and veggie mixes
    - black bean and quinoa tortilla chips
    - hummus
    - I like their granola and steel cut oatmeal

    I've recently started shopping there, but i quickly realized that it could never be the only grocery store I hit.
