Trader Joe's

WINE!!

Organic frozen fruit

Correct about the produce being overpriced. Except for the occasional giant container of blueberries or strawberries, he only produce always at a good price are the bananas. The whole chickens are great & nest price around (and yes, he time I ended up wit a bad item, I took it back & they returned my money). Love the Luna bars, no better price around. And my FAVORITR treat is the frozen chocolate covered bananas (best I've had from a grocry store). Use a discerning eye. Some things are not a good value, but after a little investigating you can find some great things (milk is cheapest at TJ's). I hope I can find an apartment in Chicago close to a TJ's. Last place in Boston was a 5 minute walk & I will be VERY sad without it.

We just went to one for the first time a few weeks ago, and are planning a trip again soon!

I LOVE their roasted seaweed snacks- 60 calories for the whole package!! I also love their egg white salad containers- 100 cal for the whole thing!

I tried the roasted seaweed, and I like it until it breaks down, then I have a hard time liking it.

There is one 7 blocks from my apt, so I am literally there every other day... I love their Almond Milk, Greek yogurt, cheeses and Hummus. I like some of their cereals and pita chips. I hear they have an amazing frozen food section too, but I rarely eat it. Bread is fresh and delicious, but I cut most of it out of my diet for now. Also, they have a great wine section You really can't go wrong.

I buy all of my produce from Trader Joe's. The one near me does a great job with keeping it stocked and fresh. They also have the best deals for greek yogurt, eggs, egg whites, chia seeds and ezikiel breads which I use on a regular basis. The frozen fish is great and very easy to prepare. I agree with others about the spinach and kale dip and the cilantro and chive yogurt dip. Both are delicious and not bad in terms of calories/fat. I also buy the unsalted crunchy peanut butter because it's yummy and healthy--just peanuts! The nuts and bars are a great deal as well. Love the dry roasted unsalted almonds. Remember with the bread especially, there are no preservatives in it, so I always keep it in the refrigerator and freeze my extra loaves. The tuscan pane and ezikiel freeze very well! I love the coffee there too. (I could go on and on...:))

I too, buy all of my wine and flowers there. Best deal in town!

Love the dried fruit bars...especially Boysenberry :0)

Guacamole and fresh chips

Joe Joe's...gotta love the vanilla bean creme!

Dark Chocolate bars...3 for $2!


That's usually all I get. But I may have to try some of these other items listed as well.
Right now we have one store in the area...about a 15-20 drive from where I live.
But we are getting another one soon! Techically the same drive time...but this one is between home and work :0)

Not sure what you are talking about with the prices... TJs has the best deals going on most sections from my shopping experience. Maybe it depends on where you live, but there is no comparison price-wise in my area to the large grocery chains. The only thing that comes close is the food section in Walmart, but the produce there isn't as good.

I love the trail mixes escpecially legendary berry , low sodium tuna, soy & almond milk, tortilla w/ flax seeds, peach salsa, cheddar puffs, Trader Joes sprouted wheat bread, 100% wheat hot dog buns, chicken hot dogs, garlic powder, lemon pepper, chocolate covered pomegranite seeds, spanikopita, frozen fish squares, chili lime burgers, low fat breaded shrimp, tater tots, garlic fries, frozen spinach, frozen corn, frozen french whole string beans, turkey bacon... there's plenty more I just can't think of it at this time. Disliked coconut milk it tasted more like water. Some of the pastries are a lil' on the dry side for me.
