You can google the TJoe's Fearless Flyers for a list of new items. I'd do that for you, but the last time I did, it was taken down... considered promoting another retailer.

But apparently it's OK to talk about our favorites.

I like to keep their frozen chicken teriyaki on hand for nights I don't feel like cooking. It tastes good enough to be take-out.

This isn't about a recent new find but something I make using ingredients I buy there.

I take 1 cup of Trader Joe’s Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix-- which is red and green cabbages, carrots, broccoli, jicama, bell peppers, radishes and celery chopped into bite size pieces--mix in a 5 oz can of tuna, 2 TBSP sweet pickle relish, and 2 TBSP of their pre-made guacamole.

I read about this simple recipe on a blog I read. Other than the sugar in the relish (which some people might leave out but I love) it's an easy and healthy salad that takes minutes to make.

Was just there 30 minutes ago. Spent $80. The only new thing I bought was a spatchcock chicken. Not cheap but I love premade stuff. Open the bag, put in pan, cook. I did see a new facial cleansing oil that I may try after my Bobbi Brown oil is gone.

ETA - I also bought shrimp soft tacos that are new to me. The picture on the box looks great. We shall see

$80 for those two things, really? We got a spatchcock chicken there also and I sure don't remember it being high enough to come to $80 with just a box of shrimp tacos.

Their cocoa dusted chocolate truffles are to die for. We don't have one here, but we have an Aldi's. Aldi's owns Trader Joe's, so I can buy them there. Aldi's has some of the same products, but are an entirely different type of store.

I was just there today also. I just purchased peanuts to make peanut butter out of, frozen raspberries, lettuce, pre-cut butternut squash, panko bread crumbs and cream cheese. Pretty boring list!

Re: 🍪🍎🧀 Trader Joe's

We love the packs of blister peanuts,also the dark chocolate and regular chocolate peanut butter cups.They are different from Reeses,which we love but just as good ,in their own way.I also like the sesame sticks.I really like the store!.We also like the produce.

Hey there @Noel7! Not trying to speak for @scatcat (though I guess I am, lol!) but I think she was saying that she only got two "new" things on her latest visit...not that she only bought two things total. Maybe I'm wrong but that's how I read it.

@MaggieinFL I thought the bellini sounded good too! I did an online search (Secco Peach Bellini) and found a YouTube review from a woman named Leksi.

The cutest part was when she put a cracker on her dog's head and told him to wait. Once she said "okay" the dog tilted his head down, the cracker fell to the floor, and he ate it! What a sweet dog.

My dog does something similar minus the head trick. I put something down for her and tell her to leave it. She patiently waits for the "take it" command. I felt like I performed a miracle teaching her that, lol!

All kinds of fresh bread(s). And guess what! No silly coupons, no membership cards, etc. Just good prices every single day. I'm rather 'sick and tired' of the supermarkets (to remain nameless here) and their weekly ad circulars with tons of tiny coupons and/or their website(s) specials. And then, at the checkout, some of the prices on their/our online list are wrong on our receipts. Oh, well.........'things could be worse'.
