Oh @Noel7 I just looked this up on TJ's website and it is genius and perfect for holiday cooking:

Again, thank you so much for posting that as I would have missed it!

Hey @Noel7, bummer my TJ's doesn't carry this.  They do have it in a live plant version but I didn't want to spend that much money on herbs plus I know I'll kill them in no time and it will bum me out even more.  Has anyone found these at their TJ's?

@momtochloe, as with a lot of their products, they might just be temporarily out/waiting for a delivery. You might describe it or show a pic to one of the employees and they could tell you if they thought they would ever have it, or not.

@Moonchilde I think you're right.  When I got home I had grabbed one of their physical flyers and they are listed in there so I am going to call the two by me and see if either one of them has them or when they expect them back in . . .

I have a feeling the young man I spoke with may have been new as he looked kind of bewildered by my request.  No worries as both are within 10-15 minutes and I know they will hold one for me if I call ahead.

Also I just wanted to mention that I found a box of Turkey Bone Broth which I snagged even though I also bought their fresh gravy but for those that know for sure you will be making your own gravy I thought you may be interested.

[Noel7]

Thanks for mentioning the bone broth @momtochloe !

I assume it's very good for us, I've had chicken bone broth before, so it must be  It's delicious to have a small hot cup on a cold day, too.

DH made a stop at Trader Joe's today and brought home a box of dark chocolate candy I know a few others would like.

The Dark Chocolate Collection assortment.  I had the Brazilian chocolate orange piece and it's really good.  16 pieces in a two layer box.  Nice quality candy pieces, imo.  Good for a small gift or yourself.

@Noel7, I was in a Ross this week, and in the area leading to check out where they often have food, they has good-sized portion boxes of Sweet's Dark Chocolate Raspberry Sticks. They were excellent. I was a happy camper (notice I saw "was" as they are gone already). They might have had orange, not sure, but if you like raspberry at all you might want to try for this, either near the register or on their food shelf.

[Noel7]

Thanks @Moonchilde  I do like the raspberry although orange is my favorite. 

DD checked for them at Trader Joe's when she was there last week and said her store didn't have them, either.  Too bad, that was such a nice thing to serve after dinner or for guests, lots of flavor for a little piece.

[Moonchilde]

@Noel7, I went to the company's website. They sell (very inexpensively) orange, blueberry and cherry sticks direct from the website. Strangely, they are not selling any raspberry right now :-( - but I think the cherry would do me just as well.

I do love the orange Mandarin chicken!  I get it as a treat. 

I also like their frozen teriyaki chicken.  It's good, healthy and whoever makes it uses good cuts of chicken.  I love keeping that on hand for nights I don't want to cook.

The frozen Teriyaki chicken IS THE BEST! I totally agree--it's a lot of food for 5.00 and I just make rice or use left over rice.

We don't have one in our area but I drive by one after work and stock up every 1-2 weeks. Our cats love their canned cat food. Other faviorites are:

double chocolate chip cookies

cafe twists (cinnamon/sugar) and 30 calories each. great with coffee

Kringles, which I heard about here--almond and pumpkin carmel so far

organic romaine hearts--2.49 and great quality and very Green!

any of their Indian entrees and Naan bread

dried pasta

milk and half and half

pumpkin pecan oatmeal

garlic and herb chevre

brioche toasts

So, it's not all holiday but I really love TJs--I DO appreciate how friendly they are and they are super helpful when you are shopping. Great topic and I will be trying the pecan pie in a jar!
