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."

Olive Oil popcorn
quinoa with roasted veggies (frozen section)
sea weed snacks
cheeses (nice selection, not too expensive as compared with Giant or WF)
Trail mix

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.

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

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!

hazelnut chocolate bars
ice cream
wine
red pepper tomato soup

Their frozen appetizers are great!

Alcohol
Bake at home ciabatta and ficelle
Tarte d'Alsace
Tarte aux Champignon
Pita chips
Pasta sauce
Truffle brownie mix

and on and on...

Bottled Organic Tea and Lemonade
Take and bake ciabatta rolls
TJ's Cats Cookies for people
Chocolate covered pretzels
TJ's Chipotle Salsa
Tabbouleh in the refrigerator case

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.

Red pepper spread-- usually near the tomato sauce

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