My husband and I ,made a big pot of mince today, and we will eat that for a few days, then perhaps, try the other things

Hi @cherry

What is mince? As in mince pie?
My Irish neighbor taught me how to make it. It is lean ground beef ,fried with onion, then lots of different root vegetables are added( potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and turnips) cubed. You pour water or beef broth over everthing and simmer. When it's done ,you use Bisto Gravy powder, to thicken it

It is a kind of stew, and its very good

@cherry

It does sound good I'll have to look up Bisto Gravy Powder, so many products seem to be regional.

It seems to be carried in quite a few grocery stores. It's made in England, and mince is an English dish ,according to my neighbor

Canada sells it too

The TJ's veggie breakfast sausage....tasty and microwaves in 35 seconds.

Almond Kringle coffee cake, when they have it in stock

Their premium vanilla ice cream...amazing

Savory crackers...super inexpensive( I think $1.69) and so good

I always pick up another $2.49 pouch of freeze dried liver treats for dogs. It's so much less money at TJ's than anywhere else and dogs will do anything for a piece!

Reduced Guilt Guacamole (made with yougurt)

Thank you for listing the no salt items. I will try them upon your recommendations.

I love the pesto Gouda cheese.

The chocolate waffles are amazing with strawberries and whipped cream! We eat them for dessert.

I want to try their orange chicken

@cherry I was addicted to it for about a year, lol. I added cilantro and diced green onions just before serving, and some crushed red pepper to cut the sweetness a bit.

How many people does a bag feed?

@cherry It depends on the eaters. I cooked one and a half bags for three, but one bag would do it probably.

A great deal are the organic jarred herbs, under $2.00 usually, and at the grocery they can be $6 and up. I also like the brown rice in the freezer section. I don't go often any longer, but when I do, I come home with many bags.

Oh gosh I can't stand their spaghetti sauces, even the no salt one! I do like their unsalted organic tortilla chips. That is all we buy now for tortilla chips.
