athomemom Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 We are moving next month back home and since we've been gone a TJ's has come to our area. Tell me what things should not be missed or rather what is ALL the hype about TJ's?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live2Ride Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 one is scheduled to be built 30 min from my house! Thats a typical drive for me to the city! I'm super excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have no idea why they aren't planning a store in my town. Our city is perfect for a Trader Joes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elinor Everywhere Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I've shopped at TJs for 22 years, minus the 2.5 years we lived in TJ-deprived Dallas. I do 90% or more of my shopping there. Grassfed beef, regular steaks, chicken (whole or frozen parts), frozen veg/fruit, wine, beer, fresh produce, dairy (I love Kerrygold grassfed butter), eggs....just about everything, including most toiletries. I do prefer Whole Foods for some produce, or if I need a specialty item for a particular recipe. But for everyday shopping, it's a big run to TJs once a week, and that's it. (We do buy local grassfed beef/lamb/goat/chickens/eggs from a rancher around here, and also raw milk. I also get CSA veggies delivered once a week but I round it out with TJs or WF.)

UrbanSue Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Things we regularly buy at TJs where the price and/or the quality are vastly superior to what we can get elsewhere: organic butter heavy cream some cheeses nuts and dried fruits (Costco sometimes beats on price but it's very close) bacon coffee 100% cranberry juice ($4 a bottle! I've seen people with a whole cartful of just this!) In general, I find everything there to be a good price for the quality with few exceptions. It's also small and friendly and clean and the prices and stock are very, very consistent. Shopping there is quick, easy, and predictable. I get way more than my above list there but those are the things I would make a special trip for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been shopping there that long, but I lived near one of the first ones on the East Coast, I think, when we were engaged about 11 years ago and I learned to cook with TJs being the easiest store. I've always lived near one since and it's just kind of the way I operate. If I can't get it at TJ's, it's probably not something I cook!

ChrisOR Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 We buy almost all of our groceries there (we have our own beef and eggs though). The only thing I find that I miss there is whole milk yogurt for my littles. I also like the small size of the store. It is enjoyable to shop there.

kewb Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The things I make a regular trip to Trader Joe's for are: Dried fruits and raw nuts Cheese Tortilla Chips Frozen veggies/frozen fish Fresh Mild Salsa TJ version of cheerios/corn flakes/etc. Powerberries (they are delightful) Gravenstein Applesauce-this is by far the best jarred applesauce ever. Tomato and red pepper soup Sunflower seed butter Holiday time-Peppermint Jo-Jo's. I am sure there are other things I buy there fairly regularly but the above is what comes to mind. For the high ticket items-dried fruits and nuts their prices are the best around. It is also the only place I can get that applesauce.

tearose Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 32 oz containers of organic European-style yogurt (plain--I buy both whole milk and nonfat).

ScoutTN Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 TJ's is small and friendly. The prices are competitive and the quality for most things is high. I do buy as much as I can locally - eggs, milk, meats, poultry and veggies. I can get most of the rest of my grocery list at TJ's. I shop there every other week, with Walmart in between (which I really don't like, but it's cheap and they have stuff we need). Things I buy there regularly: frozen fish/seafood (no phosphates!) maple syrup yogurt (full fat, organic, plain) nuts and dried fruit dark chocolate produce cheese baking supplies O's cereal pantry items - grains, legumes, condiments bar soap Things I buy there occasionally: meats sweet treats - choc covered nuts, ice cream etc. beer chips hummus applesauce milk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me what things should not be missed or rather what is ALL the hype about TJ's?! Kim, you'll like it. I shop every other OR every week at TJ's. Well, there's so much - where do I begin. Tomato/Roasted Red Pepper soup, evoo, nuts galore - of all kinds, eggs (organic), chicken breast, gr. beef, their Greek-style 0 % fat yogurt, organic sugar (brown and white), gf bread, Italian round bread, black cod, wild caught/sockeye Alaskan salmon fillet, pumpkin ice cream when in season, Caribbean and coconut floes, coconut water, frozen veggies and appetizers, soaps, great snacks (new found favorite - lentil/potato curls), cheeses (they are the best b/c they do not add the hormone in their eggs, cheeses, butter, etc), organic butter - and that's just a partial list. I have many more things I buy. Now I don't buy everything in one visit. This is a partial from my master list. Happy shopping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happi duck Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Sorry if this has been said and I missed it... Trader Joe's stores are small, not at all overwhelming, and they have an excellent return policy. If you don't like something they give you your money back. I've even done this without having the item with me. So my advice is go and browse and don't be afraid to try things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn. Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I wasn't that impressed (we had one open about 45 min away last fall) I found nothing worth making a special trip for. Their cheese prices aren't any better than our local, (state specific chain) grocery store. Bananas were only 19 cents a lb, but they all had brown spots and didn't look great. The one really great price I found was on Honey crisp apples. We paid $1.29 each at TJ's, and they are usually about $5 ea here. JoJo's were ok, but I like Oreos better, and Glutino sandwhich cookies are better than both. I wasn't impressed w/ their limited selection of Gluten free items either. I found the orange chicken that everyone raves about to be gross, but my dc liked it. The one thing I did love was cookie butter. Seriously good stuff, and seriously bad for you! I don't know how people can do the majority of their shopping there, as for us it would be only about 5%. I didn't even see paper products at this one. Maybe ours is just smaller than normal? Oh, I did like their hummus. So, the few things I might pick up if I'm over there are: honeycrisp apples and some other produce hummus maybe some jojo's for the dc as a treat because they are cheaper than oreos cookie butter!!

Ours carries toilet paper, paper towels, liquid hand soap, laundry soap, dishwashing soap (by hand and for the dishwasher), hand lotions, bar soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, etc. We LOVE Joe-Joe's, especially the peppermint ones at Christmas time. I buy almost everything organic, and my TJs has a huge selection of organic food. Even the frozen veggies I get are usually organic, as is the produce (that I buy). Potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, bananas, apples, pears, kiwis, berries, basil, onions, etc - organic heaven. ;-) Their wine prices are quite good, as is the selection, but that might not be a factor for everyone. I also like their organic selection of dairy, including milk, butter, sour cream, & yogurt. Oh, and the dark chocolate peanut butter cups. And the sea-salt & dark chocolate-covered almonds. Oh my. :drool5: I have a list by aisle that I made, of all the things I buy every week.

briansmama Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I used to love TJs until our second boy grew bigger-the packaging for most items is quite small. I feel like I have to fill 2 carts to get enough food to last us a week (and we are a family of 4). Love the frozen fish, prices on sauces, raw goat's milk cheese, grass fed beef, almond butter, nuts and dried fruit, coconut milk ice cream and yogurt. BUT- their produce is just not very good. It's all pre-packaged and everything seems to be from Mexico. I prefer While Foods for produce these days, and they also have bulk bins, while TJs does not. I actually don't shop there very often anymore and we live less than 10min from one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithr Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I love Trader Joe's. I shop there almost exclusively. Their produce does leave something to be desired so when the farmers market is open I shop there. In the winter we just live off their applesauce and jarred peaches and salad bags and some frozen veggies. Today though we were eating the avocados I got last week. They were just at the exact right point of ripeness and they were DELICIOUS! I mean scrumptious! My dh is addicted to their chocolate chip dunker cookies. And I don't know if other places carry this but they have the best red wine I've ever had. Rioja Gran Familia. I have to be careful not to chug it! LOL! And I don't even care for red wine. I also love it because it is small and has just enough variety but isn't overwhelming. I love all the seafood and fish. And the Empire kosher chicken they carry is the best I've ever tasted.

The TJ's at which I shop is employed by cheerful employees. Honestly, it's like a party. Well, not a party, but visiting friends. Of course, that's a good image to have - it keeps people coming back. Do the other TJ's have the "All Hands On Deck" system? And, the "bell" system,? Elinor, tell me about yours. Laura, plan to spend time absorbing what they have, make a list b/c once in a while they drop an item and add new all of the time. This is how I keep my shopping organized.

littlebug42 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 My TJ's addiction is their organic cinnamon spice instant oatmeal mixed with their frozen fruit blend called very berry cherry. Heat fruit in microwave for about a minute and use the liquid from the fruit to mix the oatmeal, adding a little water as needed. I could OD on it. My kids love the frozen fish nuggets and the organic shells and cheese mac and cheese. I get many of my baking supplies there and snack items. My kids have recently gotten many of our adult friends addicted to their organic lollipops. I get much of our dairy items there as well. Our store's produce is hit or miss for me. ETA: Oldest dd also loves smoothies made with their vanilla yogurt, organic orange juice concentrate and frozen organic wild blueberries. I also get most of my frozen veggies there.

Mekanamom Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I do almost all our grocery shopping there... Saves significant $$, and it's the most enjoyable shopping experience. :) FWIW, you can use the Trader Joes All Purpose Flour as a bread flour substitution. Works just fine in the bread machine. (The recipe we use calls for 2 1/4 cups whole wheat and 1 1/4 cups bread flour... I use the TJ'S whole wheat and TJ'S all purpose and it comes out fine.)

Laurie4b Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I shop at Trader Joe's because they have the best prices on things that are healthy that I want to buy for my family. Some things that I buy there are: hummus Some produce (producer prices are generally competitive, but they don't carry local produce, so I buy that elsewhere) nuts!!! they have a wonderful assortment of nuts, all at the very best prices organic raisins 100% cranberry juice (I dilute it with water to dilute the sour taste, but it beats 10% cranberry juice plus sugar or artificial sweetener) oat bran Frozen fruits and veges (they have both organic and regular, very high quality, competitively priced) frozen salmon (wild caught, best price around) organic ketchup fair trade organic chocolate For fun, corn chips, peach salsa, meringue cookies, lemon cookies drizzled with chocolate, Peppermint Joe-joe's before Christmas), pumpkin pancake mix is seasonal and very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
