Ooooo.... we keep on hand Peach Bellini (sp?).  So good and I normally am not a wine drinker.

 

What are your favs from there?


 

Didn't know they sell peach bellini--sounds so yummy!!! Will need to pick that up!

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!

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!

I was JUST there on Friday and here's the short list....

 

Always buy banana's at 19 cents a pound

 

I bought a frozen bag of their orange chicken and fried rice...that was just delicious!

 

Dover Sole, Mahi Mahi

 

Fresh Strawberries from the USA (everywhere else is Mexico)

 

Whole Bean Coffee

 

and Costco carried their version of Baked French Onion Soup but the

2 pack from Trader Joe's is so much better   $4.99

 

 I thought their bananas were 19 cents each.

Re: 🍪🍎🧀 Trader Joe's

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'.
