    I love everything they have! I've even got my family hooked!
    Hummus -all
    Tofurky Italian Sausage
    Fruits and Veggies are so fresh and last longer
    Coconut oil
    Sesame Dressiing
    Chia
    The list can go on and on....I wish we had a bigger location.

    My husband who like nothing healthy, loves the meats and is obsessed with the Sour Dough Bread.

    They dont have on near me either :( I did make a special trip to go there when I was on a mini vacation and got:

    Cheese- Pepperjack and some other delicious kind
    Pizza crust- one regular, and one wheat
    Organic tomato and roasted red pepper soup
    coconut oil
    dark chocolate covered almonds with sea salt
    wine
    peanut butter granola bars.
    My favorite were the almonds (of course) and was not a fan of the soup. It didn't taste like anything..

    One problem, their cheese selection is too good.

    How to choose? Everything is so wonderful!

    Obviously the Cookie Butter is amazing,
    I love the little toffee espresso pillows you can pick up by the checkout,
    I love their Dark Chocolate with Caramel and Black Sea Salt Bar
    The Pesto tortellini bowls in the frozen section are the bomb
    The Chicken Chili Verde Burritos in the frozen are super delicious
    Their Salsa Authetica is amazing salsa!
    The Multigrain Wheat Crackers are soooo delicious
    The Cheddar Rockets are the best little cheddar cracker ever - beat the pants off goldfish and cheddar bunnies

    And so much more. I love TJ's. Also, I 'm going to TJ's on Friday lol!

    Do you use it in place of olive oil? I have never used it to cook but read so much about it.

    I don't buy much from trader joes. Whole foods is actually closer than TJ's.

    I absolutely LOVE their pizza dough! I've tried the herb one and I want to try the others. I also enjoy the hummus there! Carrots and cheese taste like any at other stores ;)

    Kimchi rice
    Venetian Moon pinot grigio (my new favorite table wine)
    Hearty vegetable broth (I swear, everything I use this in tastes better. I poached some salmon in it last night -- so good)
    Garlic -- for some reason, their garlic seems fresher than what I can find elsewhere
    Mirepoix -- when I'm feeling lazy

    I think it was roughly $7 in Indiana? I just got some on Sunday. Definitely cheaper there! I don't get to TJ's often, but I bought that and the almond butter while I was there! Almond butter is cheaper, too - especially for the no sugar added kind.

    I use the coconut oil to cook (usually my eggs...mmm) and as a moisturizier and hair conditioner (I just leave it in). Same stuff, but I have a separate container in the bathroom, lol.

    Edit: I also found the coconut oil was good to remove wax from your hair, lol. oops

    sometimes I use it in place of olive oil, but I find that it has a slight coconut taste, so the food either needs to complement or overpower the flavor or its a little odd.

    I love just about everything, but current favorites:

    - Reduced Guilt Spinach & Ricotta Stuffed Shells (frozen)
    - Naan
    - Palak Paneer (frozen)
    - Dark chocolate, almond, and cashew trek mix
    - sweet and spicy mustard
    - Macaroni and cheese (frozen and the full-guilt kind -- so terrible for you, but so delicious)

    Any of the salsas. When I'm craving it, I seriously just grab the jar and a spoon. It's amazing.
