Re: What's Good At Trader Joes?

The plain or cinnamon raisin bagels; cod provencale--serving for 1; eggs are cheaper than our supermarket; feta cheese; fish.  There are other items that I can't think of off hand.  It is possible to do all your shopping there.  I actually tried their toilet paper and liked it.  But obviously the selection is not as large as a supermarket's.  As another poster stated, the employees are very friendly and helpful.  I walk there every week--it's only a few blocks way!!

Better'n Peanut Butter.  I stock up and buy at least 4 jars at a time.  It is lower in sugar and lower in calories than regular peanut butter.  It is so good!!

@jackthebear.  Who wants a teeny, tiny avocado?  I recently read they've developed a huge avocado that weighs about 4lbs.  I'm holding out for that.

"Everything but the bagel" seasoning is awesome on anything, veggies, eggs, meats.  Also they have a fabulous peach bellini.


@Hoovermom Can not be without this, always have to have a backup bottle.

I just came back from Trader Joe's - picked up some wine and cheese.  They have great prices on both.

Thank you everyone for mentioning you're favorite items. 

 

After the holidays, when the store maybe won't be quite as busy, I'll have to stop in and see what I find.

They have a fresh vacuum packed pot roast type meat...around $14.00 but lasts for 3 meals for 2 of us. I also love their spice tea bags.

They have great prices on cheese. We love their marinated carne asada. Lots of good frozen foods - not your typical supermarket stuff.

Re: What's Good At Trader Joes?

Their pork belly (in the refrigerated section as it's already cooked) and in the freezer section their scallion pancakes, so good!  I also love their half turkey breast as it is the perfect amount for just me but I would call ahead to make sure they have them that day (they are in the fresh meat section).  If you get the turkey breast grab a box of their cornbread stuffing too!
