    Love TJ's....and am aways astonished at how little I end up spending for the goodies I get there. The roasted pecan blue cheese dip is seriously one of the most delicious things in the world... I could just eat handfulls. (I don't....its not very healthy stuff.)

    The nearest TJ's is 45 mins away, but so worth the drive. We eat like royalty on a Food 4 Less budget.

    We always pick up the soy yogurt & soy creamer for the dairy-free people in the family & the brown rice pasta & bread for the gluten-free others. Then we load up on:

    Wine!
    Dark chocolate
    Cut flowers (not every visit, lol)
    Wild salmon
    Eggs
    Spices
    Curry sauces
    Tomato sauce, canned tomatoes
    Hatch chiles
    Wasabi roasted seaweed
    Dairy-free ice cream
    Gluten-free gingersnaps
    St. Andre triple cream brie for the dairy eaters
    Wholewheat handmade flour tortillas for the gluten eaters
    Nuts
    Dried cherries
    Smoked trout/sardines
    Heirloom tomatoes

    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.

    Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    Meatless meatballs
    Raw Almonds
    Dried Figs
    Low-fat mixed berry granola
    Coffee (various kinds) and green tea
    Whole wheat cous cous
    brown rice pasta
    Turkey Jerky
    Masala Vegetable burgers
    Chile lime chicken burgers
    Ezekiel breads
    Mango Shave cream (um, don't eat this!)
    Enrich conditioner/shampoo (I think that's the name)
    Gummi Vites (chewable multi)
    Steamed baby beets
    Grated Parmesan (so cheap)
    Brie bites and goat cheese bites -- gotta love that portion control

    I try to keep it healthy, but every once in awhile something naughty sneaks into my cart. Don't know how that happens...

    I got these "Soy Creamy" mini ice cream sandwiches from TJ's the other day.. so good and only 90 calories! It was just gone too fast...
    They also always have an awesome variety of nuts and hummus. Some good boca meat too- convenient place to find some Lightlife and Morningstar products for me.
    Their unsalted creamy peanut butter is also the best I've ever tried. All other natural ones develop a hard texture after a while, but this one stays nice and smooth.

    I just love Trader Joe's. I was just there last Saturday, will be going back this weekend. I bought the vegetable lasagna and had it tonight for dinner, it was good.

    Trader Joe's brand Greek yogurt is THE best, even the nonfat. I highly recommend it.
