    I was just there yesterday. I love TJ's. And they really aren't more. Sometimes I find things less than my regular store I go to. Although I might just buy more because the offerings there are fresher and way better. I usually buy staples to make snacks or add to lunches.

    -Sugar plum tomatoes (cherry size)
    -Tropical fruit medley
    -Both frozen Ahi and Albacore are great
    -Chili lime chicken patties are awesome
    -Low sodium broths
    -Avacados- both bag of 4 fresh or prepack guacamole
    -Herbs- fresh or frozen cubes- great to have for in a pinch seasoning
    -Nuts- Pecans, cashews, almonds, Hazelnuts. All great and can make your own fresh butters with no fillers
    -Dried (dehydrated) fruits. I get blueberries to make paleo muffins. Add those in and they rehydrate when you cook. Or add to water and hydrate, drain and add to nut butter for a dip with celery when you have cravings. Less sugar.
    -All of their veggies are awesome and very fresh/inexpensive

    Also best place to get flowers. Always great boquets. I bought a orchid plant to make prom flowers for my daughter. 7.99 vs. 15.00 at the regular store. And beautiful.

    Somebody referenced their frozen fish earlier and it really is quite good. The Turbot filet cooks quickly and will melt in your mouth. I aslo like their Mahi.

    Most of what's already been said, plus Chicken Tikka Masala, shrimp stir-fry (both frozen), and their habanero hot sauce. These ALWAYS end up in my cart. Oh, and their egg white salads. So good and low calorie!

    And this isn't food, but their coconut oil body butter is awesome and only $4.99 where I live!
    I am obsessed with this stuff- and I love their green multipurpose cleaning spray- I must have like 3 containers of both of these items at all times!

    TJs has a lot of great chicken sausages that are relatively healthy. Also some of their ready-to-go salads are great.
    I like their canned wild salmon.

    The salsa verde. Awesome. I could drink it right out of the jar. Not that I'd ever do such a thing...
    this and just want to add that I LOVE TJ's... hope I can get a job there when I retire from my day job :flowerforyou:

    The Mediterrian Yogurt Dip with Feta is to DIE for!

    I stay away from alot of pre packaged foods due to the sodium, but I do love (on the grab and go), the veggie hummus wrap for a satisfying on the go lunch.

    I LOVE their non-fat vanilla greek yogurt.

    I can also inhale the cookie butter! My 2 year old is addicted to it! LOL

    Edamame cracker thins - they are like crack to me, so I usually have to walk past them!

    Caffe Latte ice cream bars... 90 calories and YUM.

    Quick-cooking steel cut oats. They cook up in less than 10 minutes on the stove.

    Half-salt tuna.

    Any variety of salsa or hummus.

    During the holidays they have this cranberry chevre that is AMAZING, especially spread on crisp, juicy apples.

    I always keep their creamy, salted peanut butter in stock.

    Smoked paprika. It's only $1.99 where I live and I buy it two bottles at a time.

    I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of for now. :)
