Juniper Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 If you shop there what do you get? Your favorites? What is scary? I'm a little excited as will have three of these within the next month or so. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 We love the pizza sauce for making homemade pizza and I love the fruit leather they sell, much better than the over sugared fruit roll ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnsinkableKristen Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I know!!! I am so excited I can barely stand it! I love their Jo-Jo's, the Chai latte mix, the juice boxes, the coffee, oh I just love it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in OK Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I am SO very, very, very jealous. We need one in Oklahoma so badly. Do a search. There are several "what do you like to by at TJs" threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewellsmommy Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Honey Sesame Cashews! yum. :D In the freezer section, packaged organic brown rice and terryaki chicken. The marinade called Island Soyaki (really good on chicken when grilled especially!) In the refrigerated section, Mango Chicken Sausage. Their spiced apple cider, 21 seasoning salute (great all purpose seasoning), dried apple rings, and pumpkin butter. These are our favorites.

besroma Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 maple syrup (in a bottle shaped like a wine bottle) tortilla shells ciabatta rolls tamales (frozen) gingersnaps (I mentioned these in your other thread. I think they are called triple ginger snaps. They are sooo good!) Love so many of their items, but these are what we get every time we go.

fraidycat Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I like their lavender dryer bags/carpet freshener. They're like a tea bag filled with lavender buds that you toss in the dryer and use them 10ish times, then rip them open and sprinkle the buds on your carpet then vacuum them up.

Alphabetika Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 What is scary? That I can walk in with a three-item list and walk out with 48 grocery bags, because I love everything so much! :tongue_smilie: Well, not everything. I don't like the little bottles of watermelon juice. But mostly everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My in-laws are thrilled that there will be a TJ's in TX, and they're all the way in Wichita Falls! :lol: As for the Jo-Jo's, my dh loves the candy cane jo-jo's so much that he started a FB page for them, and he found out that those cookies have followers all over the world!

Then again, I am scared they will run out of stock and it wouldn't be worth it for me to go until next month :tongue_smilie:. Houston has been talking about this for as long as I have lived here, I think it will be a complete mad house. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 SOme of our staples that I can think of: (what I have bought in the past month or so) Pizza dough and sauce in the refridgerated section (we make bread sticks and dip them in the sauce) Canadian bacon (breakfast sandwiches) Cheddar cheese sticks Goat cheddar for dd4 Refridgerated salsas Various cheeses for snacking on Mixed shredded cheeses for quick dinners-Mexican for enchiladas, and an Italian blend (don't remember the name) for quick cheesy pastas Fruits/veggies Trader joes cereals are pretty good, but the also have good prices on common brands like Kashi Apples and cinnamon instant oatmeal "Apple Walks into a Bar" and the various other flavors (like an Nutrigrain bar) Granola bars dipped in chocolate and other flavors (we eat them like candy bars) Coffees (we also buy their little instant packs for the cabin) Corn tortiallas (we use them for enchiladas and fried tacos) Pocket breads Middle Eastern Flat bread Their breads are good, but we prefer Killer Daves ( a local brand) Salad mixes and the Ceasar dressing Spinache pizzas (little circle pizzas precooked with spinache in the refridge section) Blueberry waffles Cheese cake (I keep it frozen and just thaw one piece at a time--Im the only cheese cake eater here) Ice cream treats Frozen mini pizzas Frozen fruits Frozen mixed veggies Roasted corn Frozen bell peppers Frozen lemonaide concentrate The mini chocolate chip cookies and Jo Jo cookies.

Melissa in NC Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 First stop is at the back of the store where they hand out free samples. Sometimes, they will walk right up to you when you are looking at a label and offer to open the box for you and give you a sample. (I got hooked on rice crispy treats that way.) I love thier dairy free chocolate chips so much that when I moved to another state, I make twice yearly trips 1:15 hours away to stock up on chips. I buy a dozen bags at a time.

Lizzie in Ma Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 :party: Love the Honey Nut "cheerios", the apple granola, we get all out vitamins and supplements there too. Adore the seasonal goat cheese log with cranberries too. The soy corn dogs, chocolate covered bananas, chocolate covered cherries, oh my how I love TJ's!!

SunnyDays Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Two words: Orange Chicken! It's in their freezer section and oh, so good!! I love their produce too, it's generally better than any of the other grocery stores around here. There are a lot of other products I love as well but others have mentioned them. :) Have fun!!

godsaggie Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm so very jealous! We need one in Colorado! But when my friend goes to California, I always send her with some extra cash for some vanilla...I don't know what it is but their vanilla is the best I have ever used. I also love their coffee...well not me but my husband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I love TJ's. We have one just about a mile from us. I like their dairy products - milk, sour cream, butter, etc. My dh just about lives on their yogurt. Their fondue rocks, but they only carry it around Christmas time. They have lots of yummy stuff!

SweetPea Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Salt Lake City is getting a Trader's Joe! Yeah!!!!! So excited and can't wait for it to open (think it's towards the end of the year) I'm making my list for when I drive into the city :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meena Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 TJ's is supposed to open in Sarasota sometime in July. We are so excited to finally have them here in FL! Naples, Sarasota, and hopefully other locations in the near future, too. It's nice not to have to leave suitcase space for our favorites every time we travel to a TJ's city, plus we can now get refrigerated/liquid items. Yay! Some of my picks: Maple cookies Berry granola Handmade tortillas Chocolate bars (3-pack) Harvest Grains Wild Rice blend General Tsao stir-fry sauce (really hoping they still sell this!)

H_Household Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 We LOVE TJ! My kids love it because they have a stuffed frog named Reedy (named after the local river that runs through town) and if they find him, they get to pick a treat out of the treasure chest. Makes for a fun visit! We love Orange Chicken Fried Rice & Veggies All their frozen veggies Esp Asparagus Granola Bars Toothpaste Pizza dough and sauce Chicken Sausages Mint Tea Bags Fresh Bread Jo Jo cookies Star Dark Chocolate Cookies (Christmas time) Blue cheese dip Kale I'm sure there is more...but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. We are lucky to have Costco, Trader Joes and Whole Foods within 4 traffic lights of each other so I enjoy a day of shopping at them all for my healthy treats!

Punchie Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 peanut butter. I have my parents ship it to me from the other side of the country (and I in turn will mail some to my friend in Germany). It is the only pb I will buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
