Frozen soup dumplings. Any frozen meals, frozen pizza, frozen deserts.
Tomatoes Bagged salads Chicken Cheeses Humus Snap peas pita chips Definitely trail mix cheapest and the best |

A lot of their food is too salty. That said, there are some really delicious things.
Pizza dough Cookie butter Southwest salad I always find their avocados superior to the ones at our grocery store The all-beef meatballs Chicken tacos Everything But the Bagel seasoning Vanilla or seasonal Jo-Joes |

I think this PP meant Zhoug sauce. Definitely get the Zhoug sauce, especially if you like spicy. Also nearby should be the garlic spread/dip. So good. These are both middle eastern sauces but you can put them on anything. Also awesome: sparking strawberry juice drink stuffed grape leaves in a can steamed lentils in a vacuum pack, usually near the produce sunflower seed butter handmade flour tortillas carnitas black bean and quinoa tortilla chips frozen wild sockeye salmon macarons in the freezer section near ice cream You should also join the Facebook group called Trader Joe's Meal ideas for Busy People. People usually post about new and seasonal items there and that's where I learned about half the stuff in my list above! |

Anything. Seriously, everything is good- just a matter of personal taste.
I got majority of my groceries there. My favorites are the salted almond butter, Valencia salted peanut butter, vanilla ice cream, mini ice cream cones, berries, nuts, dried fruits. I don’t get much frozen or prepared foods but the items I do get and like are the blueberry frozen waffles (kids), soy chorizo, mini pizzas (kids), frozen packages of plain pre cooked brown rice. |
