I have a TJ's less than a mile away, we do not go often as the parking is always a disaster.
I love most things I buy there, the Chili Lime Chicken burgers are really great

their seasonal butternut squash mac and cheese is good too

I've been to both, to me they are different stores...price being number one difference, traders joes is cheaper....whole foods is geared much more to just that Whole Foods, natural, not as processed...really nice produce dept. Trader Joe's has several great aisles of frozen foods that I've never seen any where else....also great seasonal items..I like both stores for different things, but honestly I usually just stick with our regular super market.

@Jordan2 Same here....it seems that both TJ's, Whole Foods & Wegman's have ridiculously busy parking lots at all times of the day & week and all three are near each other by me.

They also have stollen from Germany and Almond Kringle. ..Both are wonderful things to tuck away for entertaining
@cherry Thanks for the reminder! TJ's had a lot of nice things for entertaining....plus a nice wine selection! I need to go soon!

I much prefer TJ to WF, and the parking is also horrendous at my TJ.

We ate at an Indian restaurant last night.
Trader Joe’s Chicken Tikki Masala, Butter Chicken, and Nan (plain or garlic) - Much better tasting and1/5 the cost. Plus ready in 10 minutes, no tip needed. Highly recommend.

@cherry wrote:If you like stollen ln their is from Germany and filled with marzipan, also the Kringles. these are not too bad in carbs . I am a diabetic and this is something that I can eat on occasion. There are carbs ,but considering a lot of things this time of the year , they are less than many other things. The Kringle freeze well, and you can cut off a small slice as needed
My husband like their Spanish peanuts. I get the shelled pistachio's and hazelnuts. The orange chicken in the freezer section is a nice fast meal.
I like the samosas and all of the Indian dishes..I get my husband the milk choc peanut butter cups. He hates dark choc
I got their pumpkin pie spice to try, not sure about that one
You will probably find lots of stuff without my help @ciao_bella ...they sometimes have tiny ice cream cones that are a safe treat for a diabetic. It lets you have a taste of something that other people can eat without any problems. My favorite is the pumpkin flavor
@cherry You might try a little of the pumpkin pie spice sprinkled on vanilla yogurt. I buy Dannon Two Good Greek Yogurt (2 gm. sugar/3 gm carbs) & the vanilla one is not bad alone or with some of the pumpkin pie spice stirred into it.

Our TJ has a big parking lot & isn't so busy you can't get around, I am in Rochester, NY...near a big Wegman's & soon a Whole Foods, love it!
I feel for you who have crazy TJ's, went to the one in West Hartford, CT & oh my, so crowded I had my husband stay in the corner with the cart as I tried to get thru the isles to get things, never went again. Wow, just too many people!
