    Pumpkin Butter!!!! (It's not actually butter)
    I love their Pumpkin Ravioli which is not too bad in the cals- I like to add it to cooked spaghetti squash.
    Fat-free pizza sauce - very yummy tomato sauce for pizza, pasta, and more
    Coffee
    Low calorie lemonade <- one of the best things they sell!

    Also this month they are featuring pumpkin items. I have tried "this pumpkin walked into a bar", kind of like a fig newton, only pumpkin filling. And they have pumpkin ice cream which is very very good.

    omg yes they have pumpkin everything out right now!!! i've been wanting to go back and get the pumpkin "pop tart" things but it's been raining non stop! gah!

    I like their Sweet Potato Gnocchi... mmmmm yum. Not vegan though. They have a nice little indian food selection, some of which is vegan (the channa masala i think in the frozen section and an eggplent dish in the dry section). Their hummus is very good - I particularly like the olive!

    I love their soy & cocounut ice creams! and much better priced than the usual brands in the grocery store. Frozen edamame is a good deal here also. And I always get my tofu here - organic tofu for $2? i can't find that anywhere else!

    Reduced Guilt Guacamole, made with greek yogurt. So yummy.

    Also their Spinach and Cheese Tortellini is amazing, too.

    I love their basil pesto. Not the one in the jar but the refrigerated kind. It's pretty concentrated so I add a little olive oil & garlic when I use it. Mmmm. Love their nuts & greek yogurts too.

    I have to laugh at the "no line" comments though. In our local TJ's the line wraps around the whole store. Sometimes more than once. Happily it moves fast but it does feel kind of demoralizing!

    In the freezer near the frozen veggies: quinoa duo. It's awesome. Even my toddler loves it.
