Woo Hoo! I will be making a trip to Trader Joe's in a few weeks, What should

[dawn_mo]

I absolutely make sure I pick up? I will have a cooler with me too. I pretty much block out the Trader Joe threads, it's just too painful. Thanks!

Green Plant Juice. It looks like swamp water, but it tastes like a mango. Good, and good for you.

 

[angak]

wine, pound plus chocolate, white choc hunks, white choc chips, dried fruits/nuts,

Because I have to pack for an air flight, I don't usually buy any of the lovely fresh items. sigh.

I don't want to start an argument here but I'd stay away from the "Two Buck Chuck". NT

 

[richard-in-cincy]

Sun dried tomato chicken sausages and their port salut cheese (from France)

 

[angak]

never tried it, but I would tend to agree.

When I still drank alcohol, I found 2 Buck Chuck to be actually ok. Now it's 3 Buck, tho...

nuts of all kinds, cheeses, chocolate raspberry sticks, frozen blueberries,

snack bars, peanut butter pretzels, fruits, vegetables, dried pastas, saffron - and other spices, cereals, eggs, fat-free half 'n half, butter... oh what the heck, just buy one of everything smileys/smile.gif

I regularly get cheese, nuts, yogurt cheese, edamame, pate, and lavender dryer bags. smileys/smile.gif

It's yummy.

Some are OK - not fine drinking, but the cab is drinkable after breathing for a while.

 

[colleenmomof2]

Pizza sauce, bruchetta, TJ's cheap lox bits, roasted red & mixed peppers

The bruchetta is new to our list which also includes a wide assortment of nuts, dried fruits and rice. Colleen

 

[angak]

what are the dryer bags? I must look for them next time.

 

[julie-r-wa]

They're like big tea bags (think 2 tea bags) filled w/ lavender that you toss in dryer. Wonderful!

 

[dawn_mo]

Thanks everyone for the heads up on the new and unknown items you suggested.

I am also going to be making a visit to a Penzey's store. If anyone needs anything, let me know, and I can pick it up and mail it to you. Thanks again!

 

[cheezz]

Hopefully it will be a bigger TJ than mine... some of this mine doesn't carry smileys/frown.gif

If you like Indian flavors, try the Vegetable Masala patties - they taste like samosas

They are in the frozen section near veggie burgers at mine. They make a great sandwich on a ciabatta roll, or you can eat them as-is.

Also, the Mojito Salmon is excellent, also in the frozen section. It is a bit pricey (for Trader Joe's) $7+ for a two portion package. It is very delicious, and as soon as I figure out how to make the sauce, I'll do it myself. smileys/smile.gif

Check out the salads, especially the Pomegranate one - so good.

Whole Wheat Couscous, Arborio Rice, and Spelt with Peppers are all fantastic.

The "Just" juices are wonderful as well - I especially like the Just Cherry and Just Blueberry ones. They are nice mixed with the French Lemonade and a splash of vodka.
