Trader Joe's!

No one seemed to mention their amazing pizza dough in the refridgerated section. Only $.99 a bag, and comes in 3 varieties: plain, whole wheat and garlic herb. It makes the best pizza around. I use the whole wheat, spread some sugar free tomato sauce, sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, add lowfat cheese and tons of vegetables. Amazing and not very high in calories about 175 a slice, if you get 8 slices out of a pie. That and a soup or slad is a great dinner!

Oh yes, their pizza dough is great and amazingly priced!

We drive an hour and 45 mins every month to get to our closest Trader Joes. I wish they'd come to New Hampshire!

So Im not a big wine drinker because I'm completely unaware of what kind to buy and dont want to blindly buy one and waste money...I only tasted wine for the first time like last year lol.

Sooooo....I like it sweet, what brands/kinds are best to get from Trader Joe's?

I love everything about Trader Joe's!!! So much I got a job there.

Thank goodness I work there and get a discount because it is basically like 'Will Work for Food!'

gosh darnit people...someone reply about the wine :grumble:

:laugh:

I'll reply... but I don't know anything about wine or sweet wine, I just grab one and go Didn't want you to feel left out

I really like their cranberry walnut gorgonzola salad dressing in the refridgerated section.

If you like sweet go for a German Riesling, Spatlese, or Auslese. I like Dr. Beckerman's from there. Very sweet and under $10 for most of them. I don't know about your TJ's, but our's puts signs up about the wine's. If yours doesn't, I would ask someone for help, there is usually someone there that knows the wines.

Ah, that sounds logical lol I'll have to take a closer look and see. Thanks!

I absolutely love their chicken and turkey sausages -- I don't eat much red meat or pork so these are great options for me and my husband (who comes from England and LOVES pork sausage)... it's a great compromise for us. Also love their stevia sweetened drinks (the soda, juice, etc.), it's great for when you absolutely need a caffeine fix. Hm... I also buy a lot of their fresh produce (the grape tomatoes are lovely), milk (so inexpensive) and their whole wheat pastas/gnocchi.

I was so upset because I waited FOREVER for the Trader Joe's in my town to finally open and then I literally moved back to my hometown for a new job 2 weeks after they finally opened. I never got to go. =( Luckily it's only an hour away, and so I'm planning on taking a day trip there soon to go shopping and stop by TJ's on the way home.

I can get Kerrygold butter for under $3.00, at the supermarket its $5.00. I also like to get Applegate organic hot dogs there, much cheaper than the health food store. They have a good cheese selection at decent prices. They are the only store in town where I can pick up full-fat greek yogurt.

Trader Joes is amazing! The nearest one to me is like 3 hours away, such a bummer! But when I lived California they were my go to store! I love their stuff! here's a few of my favorites--
Fig Bars (This Fig Walks Into a Bar)
Sleepy Time Tea
Organic Fruit Bars (Strawberry-Apple)
Sunflower Seeds
Popcorn 94% FF.

raspberry preserves

With seeds or without? I have been to half a dozen stores looking for raspberry preserves w/o seeds and no HFCS.

I go specially for the chocolate chips, but I guess you don't want to hear that. LOL. It is for my family. They are the only store in town that has no dairy in them.

I do most of my shopping at TJ's! It took me 2 years to discover it and I love it! I was so dissapointed in the grocery stores here (I moved here from Australia in 2008) and when I finally found TJ's I was in heaven! Plus the stock some Aussie stuff too! YAY!!

What I usually buy each week:

vegies
fruit
hummus (I wish ours had the eggplant hummus)
eggs
bacon
quick egg egg whites
greek yogurt
sweet apple chicken sausages
steel cut oatmeal (frozen)
brown rice
harvest grain mix
sundried tomatoes
artichokes
balsamic vinegar
turkey chili (occasional treat)
chicken breasts
orange chicken
chicken chow mein
bistro cookies
pop chips
pumpkin butter
WINE!
le petite creme cheese
social crackers
soy milk
nuts and dried fruit

Man I could go on and on! Lol

Corn Salsa
Spicy Black Bean dip
French Demi Baguettes
Peanut Butter (so cheap/healthy!)
Almond Butter
Puff Pastry Margherita Pizza
Orange Chicken
Paneer Tikka Masala with Spinach Basmati Rice
Bbq Chicken Salad

I love it all. I used to have a Trader Joe's in my neighborhood but now the nearest one is an hour and a half away
