The arabiatta sauce is so good I use 2/3 of the jar each time.

Chocolate croissants: Let rise and bake in a.m.

These things are amazing - my family cannot get enough of these. My kids ask for them on their birthdays.

They are really good. Hubby likes the almond version too.

Back! Late live been buying the indian hot pockets, salsa verde, corn salsa, tamales, veggie corn dogs, and popped barbecue chips.

My store just demoed the scallion pancakes and I loved them! What do you serve them with and do you cook them in a frying pan? Do you defrost first? Package gave lots of options

We love the scallion pancakes. My kids love the frozen bibimbap bowls too.

We just tried their new Spinach & Ricotta pizza. It was very good (especially when we added some crushed red pepper).

It's different from their other spinach pizza (that I think had tofu in it?) - this one had more tomato. In general, I've loved all the pizzas I've tried from TJs!

I don't understand Trader haters.

I get that people don't like crowds, but do you have no taste buds?

I don't hate Trader Joe's, I'm just not that impressed by them. The stores seem a little run down, kind of like a rural gas station convenience store and some of the merchandise just looks like it's been sitting on the shelves for a while. And so far I haven't found anything that I'm all that blown away by. I kind of wish that I did ge the Trader fascination but so far, no.

I do like their ad fliers. Does that count?

They probably go through product faster than anybody.

Alright, where exactly at Costco are these dark chocolate turbinado sea salt almonds that all you fibbers have seen? I looked high and low yesterday and did not detect them!

Also, the salsa verde is delicious with no weird ingredients.

Feel the same way. The amount of salt in so many of their ready made offerings is so high.

My Mom bought some of those the last time we went to Costco. I believe she found them near the candy/snacks? In the Costco we go to, candy and trail mix/nuts for snacking share aisles.

Agreed. If I wait until Sunday evening to go, many items are sold out. I usually note that and add those items to my list for the following week. That means they're good!

I did read a long article a few years ago about TJ's success, and remember that it emphasized that they move a lot of peanut butter jars (that was the example) very quickly.
