    I go there all the time. Usually just grab stuff out of their frozen aisles. Pasta, fried rice, orange chicken, mochi ice cream, fruit, turkey burgers, etc. Love the roasted chicken patties. Trader Joes wins for the convenience factor, but I find better meat/produce elsewhere. Raspberry cheesecake on a stick oh yea!!!!!

    I love Trader Joes!! The tomato basil hummus is sooo good. I also like to get Ezekiel bread and almond butter. Trader Joes greek yogurt is really good also.

    I get the oatmeal there, it's nice and quick for breakfast, it's in the frozen section, steel cut oats. I guess a lot of the frozen berries for shakes and things of that nature.

    Oh the Cookie butter!! I can't buy that for awhile though! I have to get on track first. That stuff is too tasty for me to ignore it in my pantry!!

    The vegetable masala patties (frozen in a box of 4) are really good. heat in toaster oven, top w./ hummus, their cucumber yogurt dressing and fresh tomato...a great salad alternative for lunch.

    their raw almonds are the best/cheapest I buy a dozen bags at a time

    and their cheeses cant be beat, I buy the sliced and brie for the family there ....

    plus everyone working there is usually happy and outgoing. I love TJ's!!!

    I love their Grass fed beef burgers, and their organic goat milk. Aside from that I usually wander around and pick up things I want to cook with during the week.

    I LOVE TRADER JOES. It really is one of my favorite places. They have a killer cheese selection, I love all the healthier alternatives to regular snacky food they have as well! Just browse around, read labels - nothing will disappoint! :)

    We eat meals from Trader Joe's every week (mostly the pre-prepared, microwaveable type). We like chicken lasagna, the stuffed peppers, and the orange chicken the best.

    Woo hoo Trader Joe's!
    I go in I usually buy avocados, cheese, almond flour, psyllium husk, and a HUGE block of dark chocolate, lol! I think it's like 2.5 pounds or something (not really, more like a pound).
    I usually buy veggies and things like that there too, love me some Trader Joe's :D

    Ditto! Bumping for ideas as I'm not sure what to buy there as opposed to a Pathmark.

    I love, love, love trader joes :) I do probably all my shopping between them and aldi and only rarely have to go to a regular supermarket.

    At TJ's in particular I get:

    tofu
    hummus
    indian food (like all of it)
    coconut ice cream

    my husband loves the chicken sausages & he just got the turkey burgers to try.

    the only thing i didn't really love of theirs were their jo-jo cookies (oreo style cookies).
