Their Mediterranean Hummus is delicious, and our store has wonderful salads. The Harvest salad has an outstanding dressing that I cannot figure out.

I, too, like their cookie butter, although I think the cookies they're made from are ho hum, the speculaas. But we like to put a tad of the cookie butter between two of their thin crispy Meyer lemon cookies for a cookie butter Oreo.

Their packaged lettuces and salad mixes are both superior to and cheaper than what we find elsewhere; never have any wilted bits either.

Fresh flowers, vitamin supplements, produce, sausages, all are so good. Long live Trader Joe's!

We like TJ's Roasted Red Pepper Tomato soup. It's a buck less than the Pacific brand we'd been getting, and just as good. It's almost impossible to get here in the colder months, though.`

Their Bloody Mary mix is awesome. Shortbread cookies with dollop of chocolate on top, or apricot and raspberry. In a tub container. Also Turkey Boulanniase red sauce for pasta in frozen area. I like just about everything though.

Sweet Bites in the refrigerated section. They are like petit fors. Delicious and carbs of 6g, 8g and 6g (if you count carbs). A dozen sweet bites. 4 of Chocolate and Coffee Opera Cake--fantastic; 4 of chocolate and caramel; 4 of raspberry macaron aux Framboises.

All have several layers, so they are pretty, too.

We add a bag (or half bag) of TJ chimmichuri (spelled wrong per my ipad) rice. Maybe a little chicken. I wonder why they would stop selling the soup during the cold months? I hate when they discontinue something or if it's only seasonal. Come on people, we eat mashed potatoes year round!

My new favorite are the scallion pancakes (Pa jeon)from South Korea. They remind me of egg fu yung. They are only 140 calories and would be great for vegetarians or as part of an Asian meal.

I forgot that basil plants are in. $4. Don't forget to repot and they love sun. My DD eats bruschetta all summer long. Throw basil on pizza, sauces etc

I don't know if this item is new or not but I love their pizza veggie burgers...yummie

Oh those scallion pancakes are very tasty. I like to stock up on greeting cards too....very pretty and only99¢. Some items I keep in my cabinet are...pepper jelly,lemon curd,masala simmer sauce,sea salt carmel sauce, mango chutney,cornbread mix,cookie butter,various curry simmer sauces,triple ginger cookies, pistachio toffee cookies,maple walnut blondies,pretzel roll,cocktail sauce...and many seasonal items.

If you buy the masala or curry simmer sauces,ignore the instructions and DO NOT add water...just trust me...they are better straight.

In addition to several things already mentioned -- CAPERS! I seem to have developed an addiction for them and use them in so many ways.
