What do you love at Trader Joes?

I finally decided to check it out and I've decided to make this one of my weekly/biweekly places for food shopping.
I like the prepared salads, they're cheaper than other grocery stores and have a nice variety.

Honestly, I rarely go there except for maybe the chocolate covered oreo-type cookies with peppermint that they have at the holidays.

Red pepper spread-- usually near the tomato sauce

Their frozen wild salmon + orzo & mint sauce. There's also one with cod and ratatouille that's also fantastic.

Flax seed veggie tortilla chips.

Kefir

Their frozen veggie mixes are also very good. Hell, a lot of their frozen things are great.

Cheap 100% juices (no sugar added, not from concentrate).

Alcohol.

Salad dressings.

Chocolate covered dunkers with the coconut bits. I need to get me some of those.

The frozen croissants. Especially the plain and chocolate ones. Not so much the pumpkin ones.

The only reason I don't stuff my face with them, is because they take like 9 hours to fully rise. But they are incredible when baked!

Nuts other than that, I find there foods have too much salt in them.

Just went to a birthday party over the weekend and they had chocolate cheddar cheese from TJ's. It was unbelievable. I'm heading over there tomorrow.

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.
