I could go on...Can you tell that Trader Joe's is my favorite food store?? :-)
I mainly shop there!!!!

I just made a trip to Bellingham (from BC) this weekend. I decided not to deal with perishables but still came home with two full bags of deliciousness. With our dollar being damn near par it was a fun, cheap shopping trip!

My all time TJs faves: flattened bananas and the crunchy almond butter with roasted flax seeds.

New fave: marcona almonds with rosemary. i wish I'd bought 10 bags!

Just started shopping there in the last few months, but every time I find something new. They have Edamame crackers that make a great dipper for their hummus. And I am in love with their whole wheat middle eastern flatbread. It's a great store!

My friend hoards their coconut oil because it's so popular that it's often out of stock! The price on it there is quite a bit lower than anywhere else around here.

We love their sunbutter for our peanut-allergic kid. It's also considerably cheaper there than elsewhere.

I stock up on things like dried fruit and nuts there as well as sometimes get my milk at TJ's. The banana vanilla yogurt is a splurge but my kids love it. Ok I love it too.

They have both regular and whole wheat pizza dough too and it's like $1 per bag. It's so much easier than making my own dough. We get their sparkling water often and occasionally some produce there. I love their plant section... great little plants and flowers for gifts at a very reasonable price.

Love Trader Joes!

Mochi and reduce fat greek salads (only been going to trader joes for a couple weeks) those are my 2 favorite items.

Three cheese pomodoro sauce
Mango lemonade
some kind of whole wheat English muffins
All the organic produce ever
Cheddar/gruyere cheese
Multigrain entertaining crackers

sweet chili sauce
red pepper, eggplant and garlic spread (seriously, this stuff is amazing!!!)
tri colour quinoa
garlic and herb pizza dough
frozen ahi tuna steaks
frozen sea scallops
Lambrusco sparkling wine (pretty good considering it goes for $4)

The frozen marinated Tuna steaks!! pan fry, broil or grill. Eat as is, chunk up on salads or roll up in a wrap.

Vegetables: spinach, kale, broccoli florets, carrots, crimini mushrooms, celery, cucumber, roma tomatos, eggplant, cauliflower, canned corn
Fruits: strawberries, bananas, dried cranberries
Protein: organic firm tofu, fat free feta cheese, walnut halves, peanut butter, frozen tilapia, canned alaskan pink salmon, canned tuna no salt added, black beans, fat free refried beans, frozen shelled edamame, eggs, soy ginger salad dressing
Other: multigrain oatmeal, joe's o's, sonoma carb-cutting tortillas, unsweetened almond milk, brown rice, whole flax seed, green tea

I know my shopping list like the back of my hand since I have a very systematic way of pursuing the store haha

I love Trader Joes! I like their roasted seaweed snacks, their yogurt and granola packs, their granola bars, their new Indian meals. It's also great that all their dairy products are rBST free, though we usually buy straight up Organic milk. Last I was there, I tried some of their French Vanilla ice cream, which was amazing but quite calorie heavy.
