UHT cream because I like it to have it on hand but don't use cream regularly
The canned clam chowder is a good replacement for Snow's which is now hard to find
Their boxed soups are versions of the Pacifica ones although not organic
Baking supplies at holiday times such as dried fruit and white chocolate chips
Their Christmas coffee for the spice flavor (need to mix it with a strong coffee for body)
Their kids size organic yogurt is a nice alternative to stonefield
Their soy chorizo is fantastic for chili
Sesame sticks are cheaper than Whole Foods

Yes. It is awesome.

Also I like the refrigerated tabbouli, mini pitas, frozen pizza, frozen eggplant cutlets (just used them today!), and a recent discovery- the pinachio cookies. Faaaaaantastic!

I like the prepared salads, they're cheaper than other grocery stores and have a nice variety.

I avoid Trader Joes as I try to eat healthy and avoid processed foods. It's a horrible store if you live a healthy lifestyle.

Translation: "I avoid Trader Joes as I try to avoid food. It's a horrible store if you have an eating disorder."

Uh, my salad had 9 grams protein, 7 grams carbs and nothing artificial. It was delicious and healthy.

Oh please. I eat healthy as well and there are lots of non-processed foods that make the trip worthwhile. It's an inexpensive place to buy organic frozen veggies, quinoa, and organic dairy, to start.

I also like their coffee a lot.
