I hope those small delicious grapes are at my TJ's. they are so good!

I buy the small party meatballs...great to have on hand..just used a bunch of them for my daughter's baby shower. I also love those thin cookies...coconut, ginger, and lemon.

My husband likes their high fiber blueberry oatmeal, and their blueberry tea scones are great too!

We also use their one pound packages of ground beef..they are so handy, and their boneless chicken breasts (bulk ones) are nice too.

I also buy myself an orchid plant every time I go..they are so reasonable and last a long time.

We regularly purchase: canned artichoke hearts (in water, not oil); vegetarian lentil soup; split pea soup; just about all of their fresh and frozen veggies; frozen Eggplant Parmigiana (grilled, not breaded); canned crab meat; low-sugar organic blueberry jam; vegetable wash; and fresh flowers (amazing prices and they stay fresh for a ridiculously long time).

Great fruits and dairy, we love their yogurt and its great to taste their foods, we generally end up buying the featured item

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Soon all kinds of PUMPKIN products will be on their shelves...it's pumpkin heaven for me!

I bought the one pound candy bars last year as Christmas gifts for the mailman, UPS, snow plow guy, etc. - they all LOVED them!

I forgot to add that I like their baking mixes - brownies, coffee cake and banana bread, plus gingerbread later in the fall...and their bags of chopped nuts are very well priced too.

I love their candied ginger, frozen egg rolls, and the Gingerbread coffee they have each holiday season. The coffee grounds are too big to use in the Keurig, though. It clogs up. I really hate my Keurig and have ditched the stupid thing for a $10 Mr. Coffee from a discount store. It stopped working properly.
