I love their cheese stix snacks, they are so retro and savory. In a box usually down low on the shelf in the snack food section. Great with beer or wine.

Excellent champagnes, including French, for a few bucks.

Be sure to check out their toiletries and house-cleaning supplies too, some neat stuff.

I don't buy a whole lot from there but what I do, I really like. If you like to bake or make candy, they have some wonderful chocolate bars (one pounders I believe) and their white chocolate chips actually contain cocoa butter, and it's all reasonably priced. I buy their flour and also jars of cherries. About the only thing I buy that I don't use to bake or cook with are their triple ginger cookies - for a store bought cookie, they are delicious!

As strange as it sounds those triple ginger cookies spread with camembert cheese are wonderful!

I'm so glad that we are finally getting 2 in the Orlando area. The first one in Winter Park opens next Friday! I've been to other TJ's in NY and Sarasota, and definitely like the Florida stores! Their produce is great! Lots to choose from, especially around the holidays!

I think I will have a great time exploring Trader Joe's. I will go back probably Sunday since it is next to Williams-Sonoma and I go there every Sunday for their Technique Classes. Thank You all very much.

Oh how I wish they would open one in El Paso. I lived near Kivah for many years and shopped in Ventura and Camarillo regularly. Now I stock up when we visit my daughter at Christmas time.

I love the natural facial cleanser and the red pepper and tomato soup. Sonnie

I have a TJ about 2 miles from my home. I've been there and walked around the store. I just shake my head at those that marvel at the store. I just don't get it. I guess its just not what I typically buy. Besides the fresh produce there's absolutely nothing I would go back there to buy. I'm not into eating junk food and from the looks of it that's what most seem to buy. JMO

I am sorry you have the totally wrong opinion of the store, 90% of the products are healthy and well made.

I love their frozen teryaki chicken, fried rice, turkey corn dogs and on and on and on. Fresh fruit and veggies at a fraction of most large chain stores

Yes, that statement really baffled me. "Junk food" is so not what TJ's is about!

I shop there all the time, and I don't think I've even once bought anything that anyone would classify as junk food.

Please everyone, ID2 is entitled to her opinion. Not everything is for everyone.

The second one in Orlando will be on Sand Lake Road in the Dr. Phillips area, and is scheduled to open later in the year!

Must try the frozen French Green Beans!!!!!! Then, their meatballs (regular beef) and their chicken breast tenders as well as the haddock loins !!!!!!!!! If you're in Naples, FL try the local artisan bread: small pretzel bagels. Great raw cashews too. Best prices on KIND bars!!! ENJOY!!!,
