Hey guys.

I’m going grocery shopping this weekend. What are the items you put in your TJ’s shopping cart?

    Bump... we are finally getting one here and it is set to open in a few weeks. I see a lot from there on my friends diary and can't wait to see what they offer....

    I always grab like 3 bags of the frozen pre-cooked unshelled edamame. Toss the bag in the fridge to thaw overnight and then have them available at any time for a healthy and filling (high protein) snack. I always keep a bag in the fridge at work to avoid vending machine runs!

    I love their organic lentil vegetable soup. 260 calories for the whole can, very filling and yummy.

    Fresh fruit and veg, they have some great soups too! I always get morning star veggie sausages for breakfast as well as the trader joe liquid egg whites.. otherwise it depends on what I'm running low on!

    Many of their fruit bar frozen dessert are awesome..and the strawberry pops and fruit floes(mango too!)
    Lobster Rolls (in ready-made area)
    Mango Chicken Pasta Salad (ready-made as well, like 360 or so calories with the mango vinaigrette dressing it has for whole package)

    The one over by me has a very limited selection of what I'm used to seeing

    so I can stock up before I head back to work

    I find TJ's fruits and vegetables to be very low cost. And they always taste great!! Some of the chain grocery stores don't offer as fresh of a selection.

    I also buy Trader Joe's brand of low-fat cheese (cheese sticks and so forth).

    Pretty much everything! Some random things: the non-fat spicy spinach pizzas (in the produce section) are really tasty by themselves or with sauce/cheese, etc. The steamed lentils are great - heated with veggies, or cold with the cilantro salad dressing or hummus salad dressing, and tomatoes,onions, etc. I love the breakfast scramble for quick mornings. There are a few different eggplant/pasta frozen dishes I like, the lemon pepper noodles are awesome...Yep, besically everything. It's all soooo good!

    I can't believe no one has yet added "Raw, UNSALTED, whole cashews"! Omg, they are my absolute FAVOURITE snack!

    1/2 cup for 320 calories?! That's a LOT of cashews for few calories (relatively speaking, when compared with most other brands who offer them only salted, roasted, etc.)!

    Oh! The cashews remind me of the Thai Lime and Chile Cashews I got there....very good!

    Their minestrone soup is AMAZING. So great! I also love their tomato and roasted red pepper soup, their sushi, green mango, pumpkin bread, and pretty much everything :laugh:

    I love their variety of chicken sausages. Also I always pick up some organic soy milk, low sodium salsa, and check out the frozens - delicous and easy. (A non-food related item I like is the tea tree oil shampoo!)

    I primarily go there for the almond butter. I also like their selection of raw nuts.
